Starting from either open-pit or underground mining and using a different relevant treatment method for oxide or sulphide copper mineral (ore). Having a quick look now at how porphyry ores are treated and the metals extracted. There are two main process streams; one for sulfide ores and the other for ore that is being weathered to oxidize ...

Mine operations Drill and Blast Areas for open-pit mining are selected using the mine plan. Identified areas are tagged, and then holes are drilled in an appropriate pattern by rigs. The drill holes are filled with an explosive, most often ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate/Fuel Oil) and then charged. The resulting blast breaks the material to

Step-feature lines are one of the important geometrical elements for drawing the status quo maps of open-pit mines, and the efficient and accurate automatic extraction and updating of step-feature lines is of great significance for open-pit-mine stripping planning and analysis. In this study, an automatic extraction method of step-feature lines in an open-pit mine …
Figure 20 – Schematic of the water balance for a closed open pit.From Linklater, C., et al., (2017), published by Sustainable Mineral Institute, University of Queensland Brisbane. It often takes many decades or more for a pit lake to approach a dynamic equilibrium level if the controlling factor on the rate of rise of the lake level is the rate of groundwater inflow to the pit rather than ...
