Loading and Hauling Equipment for use in Caving And Sublevel Stoping
INTRODUCTION One basic design feature utilized in all caving and sublevel stoping techniques is the drawpoint. These draw- points may be located on sublevels when using sublevel caving methods, or may be located at the floor pillar when using block caving, sublevel stoping, or vertical crater retreat methods. How the drawpoint is designed and developed, how the ore is …

Stope Mining Guide: Techniques & Methods Explored
The open stoping mining method is unique in that it does not require artificial support. There are four types of open stope mining: Overhand stoping. Overhand stoping is an open stope mining method that works the ore deposit from the bottom upward. With the drill and blast technique, this is the typical direction used to create a stope.
Value creation in a mine operating with open stoping …
Mines that make use of an open stoping mining method aim to extract only the ore, leaving the waste behind. Many orebodies have well-defined boundaries between the ore and the waste rock. In such orebodies, the introduction of waste into the ore due to overbreak dilutes the grade. In massive disseminated orebodies, dilution is less problematic.
LECTURE NOTES
So mineral dressing or ore dressing is commonly regarded as processing of raw ores to yield marketable products by such physical means those do not destroy the physical and chemical identity of the ore. Economic Justification of Mineral Dressing: 1. To purify and upgrade the ore:

Design and application of an efficient mining method …
room-and-pillar method, breast stoping (overall mining method), the filling method, longwall caving. In order to improve mining efficiency, various mining methods have been proposed, and some of them have proved efficient in mining practice over the last decade (Yi & Wang 2007; Zhou et al. 2010; Yang & Yuan 2013; Guo et al. 2014).
Design and dimensioning of sublevel stoping for extraction of thin ore
Stoping is very development intensive, although the cost of development is finally compensated by the fact that much of it is done in ore. Efficient use of large-scale blasting makes stoping method one of the lowest-cost underground mining methods available (Hartman, 1992). Several variations of open stoping have evolved due to modern technology.
