Low grade ore dumps subject to leaching operations typically report the pregnant leach solution (PLS) to a downstream collection point, which is subsequently pumped out and processed for copper recovery. Proper design and operation of leaching collection facilities are critical to prevent the run-of-mine (ROM) dump from seepage and unper-mitted dis...

... on the mine plans, the dump con- sists of three main components: a liner system at the dump foundation, low grade ROM ma- terial until a horizontal level is established to place Oxide ROM material on top. e slope geometries of the cross sections used in the analysis is provided in Figure 3. Stratigraphy and material properties used in slope stability are summarized in Table 5. In addition, the hydrostatic head in the proposed dump de- sign is assumed to be 1 m. ...

Long-term surface mining and land cover/use changes have been evidenced to have a critical relationship. This study investigates the evolution of this relationship for Ptolemais (Northern Greece) coal mining area during the period 1990e2018. In this context, satellite images, Corine data, and mining maps were used. A relative spatial indicator (RSI...

Diesel has long been the most affordable and most popular source of energy used in cold climate remote mines for provision of electricity, haulage and heating. However, the greenhouse gas emissions associated with burning diesel has become a concerning environmental impact for these mining operations. Renewable energy systems, such as wind turbines...
Open pit mining method is one of the surface mining methods that has a traditional cone-shaped excavation and is usually employed to exploit a near-surface, nonselective and low-grade zones deposits. It often results in high productivity and requires large capital investments, low operating costs, and good safety conditions. The main topics that wi...
While land reclamation efforts of surface mines have considerably increased soil stability since the implementation of SMCRA (Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act), research suggests that resulting soil compaction hinders the productivity of forests post-mining. The Forestry Reclamation Approach (FRA) was developed to improve forest health in...
The article presents an analysis of a rational scheme for surface mining of peat raw materials using the in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) system for in-situ processing. Technologies for developing peat deposits are undergoing changes with the phased modernization of mining operations and related equipment, in line with the current trends toward...
