A look at the underground mining process The Resolution Copper deposit lies more than a mile beneath the surface. The most viable way to recover this ore body is by going underground using a process called block caving. Block caving is a proven mining method using advanced technologies. Heres how it works. Ore rock containing Continued

The Waldo Copper Mine is a underground mining operation. The ore mined is composed of chalcopyrite cubanite and pyrrhotite. The ore body has a lenticular or lens shaped form extending 9 meters 29 feet long and 7 meters 25 feet wide. The host rock in this area is greenstone from the Upper Triassic epoch 237.00 to 201.30 million years ago
2020-5-6The plant is now receiving run-of-mine underground ore and will complete a campaign solely on this feed source. This marks the start of Herons ramp up phase for this part of the Woodlawn
Access to high-grade underground ore was brought forward by two years. 33 mine productivity rate increase from 1.2 Mtpa to 1.6 Mtpa over a longer underground mine life. Reduced open pit waste mining by nearly 70 million tonnes. Improved project economics including increased cash flows and a longer mine
Chiles Codelco set for copper output hit as key mine goes underground. Fabian Cambero. The first extraction of copper ore from the underground mine a major milestone for the project was
The initial intent for Murrawombie was for it to be a satellite mine for the Tritton Copper Operations supporting the main Tritton underground mine and providing top-up feed to the central processing plant. Having multiple mines in production reduces the variation in feed supply to the processing plant which enables operational optimisation

Mine operations consist of underground workings. There is one known shaft. Subsurface length extends a maximum of 610 meters 2000 feet. The ore mined is composed of copper malachite and chrysocolla with waste material consisting primarily of pyrite and calcite. The ore body is described as tabular shaped and 1.83 meters 6.00 feet thick
2020-1-1Underground mining is achieved by sinking shafts to the appropriate levels and then driving horiontal tunnels called adits to reach the ore. Underground mining is however relatively expensive and is generally limited to rich ores. El Teniente in Chile is the worlds largest underground copper mine
2009-8-27The Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Limited ZCCM operates an underground copper mine at its Mufulira Division in the Copperbelt Province of Zambia. Run of mine ore is delivered to the concentrator through three main shafts at a headgrade of 2 total copper TCu. Bornite and chalcopyrite are the major copper minerals occurring in the
2019-9-9Ivanhoe Mines Kakula Underground Mine Development Has Reached the Edge of the High-Grade Ore as Mining Advances Toward Zones in Excess of 8 Copper
Mining - Mining - Underground mining When any ore body lies a considerable distance below the surface the amount of waste that has to be removed in order to uncover the ore through surface mining becomes prohibitive and underground techniques must be considered. Counting against underground mining are the costs which for each ton of material mined are much higher underground than on the
