Mining of raw materials is a process that consists of several stages. In open-pit mining, material with high compressive strength is extracted by drilling and blasting and material with low compressive strength is extracted by e. g. a bucket wheel excavator. Most important influencing factors for crusher decision are compressive strength, moisture content, capacity of …
Open pit is a mine that adopts open-pit mining to extract ores. Mining pit, bench, and open channel formed by mining are generally called open-pit. ... The main production systems of open-pit include development and transportation system, drilling and blasting system, mining and loading system, dumping system, waterproof and drainage system ...
Open-pit mining is a surface-mining operation in which rocks or minerals are extracted from the Earth by creating an open hole or pit in the Earth's surface. ... The excavation is usually performed by hydraulic shovels, or rope. Drill and blast methods are also commonly used. The walls of the pit are stepped, to prevent the rocks from falling ...
Optimizing blasting and drilling in open-plt mining is a difficult task which depends on the availability of current reliable data on rock susceptibility to explosion necessary for ... Current control of blasting and drilling in open-pit mines should be based on a two- stage process: first, technical calculations are performed on the parameters ...
Drilling and blasting are the two most significant operations in open pit mines that play a crucial role in downstream stages.
At present, drilling equipment with 200-mm hole diameter and above is widely used in large open-pit mine. The blasthole diameter has significant effect on rock fragmentation, since it is the primary blast design parameter and has influence on the choice of burden, spacing, stemming length, etc. [1], [2], [3].In order to choose the proper blasthole size for bench …
In this paper, a hypothetical open pit copper mine is considered, which needs to produce 30 million tonnes of waste and 25 million tonnes of ore based on its annual planning. This mine works 340 days a year, on which the drilling and blasting operations can be carried out. Thus, the time scale of the dynamic model is set as these operational days.
The Erzberg mine is the largest open-pit iron ore mine in middle Europe and the largest deposit of siderite in the world. It is located in the central-western part of Austria. The main iron mineral is a magnesium-rich variety of siderite with an iron content between 20 and 42%.

Mining and milling. Markus H.A. Piro, Ksenia Lipkina, in Advances in Nuclear Fuel Chemistry, 2020 8.2.3.1 Open pit mining. Open pit mining refers to mining directly on the ground surface, thereby producing an open pit. This method is practical and cost-effective when the uranium ore is located near the surface (e.g., within 100 m). Underground mining and ISL methods may be …
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...
The exploitation of open pit deposits usually takes place through a series of mining phases, commonly known as pushbacks. In open pit metalliferous mining, each pushback considers the extraction of one or more benches simultaneously in a process where the core operational tasks include: drilling, blasting, loading and hauling.

We know that open-pit mining operations mainly include drilling, blasting, mining, transportation and dumping. Blasting is a very important part of it. Blasting costs account for 15% to 20% of the total cost of open pit mining. Moreover, the quality of blasting directly affects the working efficiency and total cost of the mining process.
"Many mines start out as open-pit operations and move on to underground mining at a later stage, depending on the location and grade of the ore deposit," says Lauri Laihanen, Vice President, R&D and Product Management, Surface Drilling Division at in Finland. "It's more expensive to extract material underground, so it has to ...
The drilling and blasting cost in open pit mine represent 15-20% of the total mining cost (Afeni, 2009; Da Gama & Jimeno, 1993;Shim et al., 2009). The cost of the blasting unit operation has ...
