DetailsThe post-pillar method is used for wide ore bodies with a greater vertical extent than can be mined with the room and pillar method. As each horizontal cut is mined and backfilled, pillars are maintained to support the back. Pillars become tall and slender, but the backfill prevents buckling. Ore competency should be good to prevent pillar and ...
DetailsFeb 27, 2020· This underground mining method is a good option for steep ore bodies. In theory, the ore stays in the mine until the entire body has been blasted, which does means that return on investment is delayed because none of the blasted material is processed until the job is finished. Block caving. Block caving is used to mine large, steep ore bodies.

Details2. 2. Mining Methods. Left: Open Pit Mining. Right: Underground Mining. In each of these mining methods, various earth-moving equipment including shovels, dozers, hauling trucks, and loaders are used to remove and transport the ore. However, the first step is to loosen the rock in the ore body so that it can be moved and processed.
DetailsINTRODUCTION The sublevel stoping mining method is usually applied to a relatively steeply dipping, competent ore body, surrounded by competent wall rock. Ore is produced by drilling and blasting longholes, which can range from 50 mm (2 in.) to 200 mm (7% in.) diam, with lengths up to 90 m (300 ft).
DetailsThe invention discloses a mechanical continuous mining method for a gently inclined thin ore body. Based on the principle of lengthening the slope distance to reduce the angle, ore blocks are arranged in an inclined way, so that an angle smaller than the original inclination angle can be formed between a working plane and the horizontal plane, thus creating an …
