Due to the impacts on ecological environment, production safety and economic benefits of large open-pit water deposits, there is no longer a single drainage method within pit that can be used meet need for further deep mining. Therefore, curtain grouting technology proposed use in prevention control mine water. The flow equation slurry vertical fissures under influence self-weight stress was de...

Drawing on the theories of limit equilibrium and finite-element strength reduction, this paper explores instability modes stability change laws slope in zones E, W, S Jiajika spodumene mine, through rock mechanics tests, field survey, numerical simulation. The results show that sliding mode is circular arc or + plane sliding. Overall, final open-pit mine generally stable under current design, s...

This paper proposes a new mathematical model for the open pit mine planning problem, based on continuous functional analysis. The traditional models for this problem have been constructed by using discrete 0−1 decision variables, giving rise to large-scale combinatorial and Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) problems. Instead, we use a continuous approach which allows for a refined imposition of s...

Sustainability assessment has received numerous attentions in the mining industry. Mining sustainability includes the environmental, economic, and social dimensions, and a sustainable development is achieved when all these dimensions improve in a balanced manner. Therefore, to measure the sustainability score of a mine, we require an approach that evaluates all these three dimensions of mining ...
