The concept of vertical pit mining has been developed as an alternative mining method for the exploitation from surface of small, vertical or near-vertical, massive orebodies down to depths of some 200 m, where ore extraction from conventional open pit excavations is rendered uneconomic due to high associated waste:ore mining ratio. Systematic lateral support …

Vertical mining methods are very effective for mining frequent patterns and usually outperform horizontal mining methods. However, the vertical methods become ineffective since the intersection time starts to be costly when the cardinality of tidset (tid-list or diffset) is very large or there are a very large number of transactions. In this paper,...
The construction technology of the mine shaft sinking is complicated and large equipment setup on surface and in the mine shaft. The paper briefly reviews a single-line operation method, parallel operation method and mixed operation method as well as the features of the one operation method with the excavation, lining and installation.

Abstract. Faced with rising costs and lower metal prices, several Ontario base metal sulphide mines have changed their method of mining to vertical crater retreat mining. This is a bulk mining method that utilizes large diameter holes and mines successive cuts remotely by blasting and cratering the bottom of the drill holes.
The name of this method derives from this drawing off or shrinkage of the stope. A modern and important variant of this method is known as vertical crater retreat (VCR) mining. A few examples of commodities mined by this method include iron and palladium. Open stoping. This type of mining is used to recover steeply dipping orebodies in ...
of the Mining Journal,, and many other members of the mining community, the Hard Rock Miner's Handbook has been distributed to over 113 countries worldwide. Web hits and downloads continue as students and professors, miners, engineers, and mining executives embrace the Handbook as an invaluable source of practical
Vertical Crater Retreat is compared to other open stoping methods. Various geotechnical factors have been considered including the effects of stress concentration, jointing, dynamic stresses superimposed by blasting vibrations, amount of development required and shrinkage draw. All these factors favour a VCR method in a deep mining environment.
Retreatment of Residues and Waste Rock D.W. Bosch 12.1 Introduction From the commencement of gold mining on the Witwatersrand in 1887 up to 1984, a total of approximately 4,2 billion tons of gold ore has been milled in South Africa. The deposition of gold mine residues has left the country,

The share of opencast methods has gone upto 70% of world's total mineral production. The surface mining of hard rocks and ore demands drilling and blasting. But these techniques have many adverse effects on environment. So today's eco-conscious world demands introduction of improved technology for blast free, safe and eco-friendly mining.
Background. VRM is a contraction of 'Vertical Retreat Mining', however it is also known as 'Vertical Crater Retreat' or 'VCR' or sometimes simply called 'Inverted Crater Blasting'. In 1983, it was called 'an achievement of the last decade' and is practiced in mines in Canada, Australia, Europe, Central America, and the U.S.

Mining retreats horizontally as successive vertical slices are blasted. Vertical block mining is the term most often used for this method. In VBM the workplace is divided into a series of vertical blocks and the blocks may be nined on a retreat basis working from the ends of the workplace.
The method and apparatus have application beyond the field of coal mining, but as indicated above, it has particular application in the formation of liners for shafts of large diameter. A current technique for lining large diameter bores with concrete requires that forms be set for a curb ring located at a distance beneath a previously formed ...
Whereas a vertical underground opening is referred to as a "shaft." If we take a look at history, it is clear that humans have indulged in the process of hollowing out earth and rocks for centuries now. Initially, tunnelling excavations were carried out for mining purposes to reach minerals such as coal, copper, tin.
