ادامه مطلبA mining method involving overhand, underhand, and shrinkage stoping. Its characteristic feature is the use of sublevels. The sublevels are worked simultaneously, the lowest on a given block being farthest advanced and the subs above following one another at short intervals. The uppermost sublevel underneath the cover is partly caved.
ادامه مطلبThe principal mining methods have been summarized in a series of information circulars as follows: ... In sublevel stoping the ore is excavated in open stopes, retreating from one end of the stope toward an entrance at the other end (fig. 86) on each of a series of sublevels that are usually 20 to 25 feet apart vertically but may be 40 feet or ...
ادامه مطلبThe sublevel open stoping mining method (Figure 1) considers horizontal production levels that might be separated by horizontal pillars. The stopes have variable heights within each level, but their access is always aligned to a respective production level and can be apart by rib and longitudinal pillars. This feature facilitates the ...

ادامه مطلبSublevel stoping is an underground mining technique for mines used to extract massive or tabular, intermediate to very thick, steeply dipping orebodies with competent rock types [1, 2].Stopes are underground excavations made by removing ore from surrounding rocks [].After a stope is drilled and blasted, the fragmented ore is then …
ادامه مطلبAlthough the general geometry is the same as for the room-and-pillar method, the generic name given the system is sublevel stoping. Blasthole stoping, vertical crater retreat, and vein mining also fall under this general heading. The shrinkage stoping method is a special form of sublevel stoping.

ادامه مطلبThe first comprehensive work on one of the most important underground mining methods worldwide, Geotechnical Design for Sublevel Open Stoping presents topics according to the conventional sublevel stoping process used by most mining houses, in which a sublevel stoping geometry is chosen for a particular mining …
ادامه مطلبIt is a mining method that uses the sublevel open stoping method to stope the room or pillar and to fill the goaf completely after the stage stoping is completed to support the surrounding rock, creating conditions for the stoping of the rib pillar or the surrounding stopes. ... The advantages are great flexibility and high mining efficiency ...
ادامه مطلبVarious stoping methods are practised across the globe for the final extraction of mineral deposits. The selection of a feasible mining method for a mine is dependent on the technical suitability and economical profitability. The technical suitability of …
ادامه مطلبSublevel Stoping. This method, described by F. W. Sperr in the Engineering and Minting Journal of June 5, 1912, and by P. B. McDonald in the Mining and Scientific Press of July 5, 1913, is really a combination of several different methods of …
ادامه مطلبAmong underground mining methods, sublevel stoping are a commonly used method in large-scale mining. It is a versatile and productive method that is primarily used for steeply deeping orebodies with regular shape, defined ore boundaries and competent ore and host rock. The sequence and extraction of stopes is critical in …

ادامه مطلب3) Sublevel stoping - a method of stoping in which the ore is blasted by benching, ring drilling, or long hole; most of the ore is drawn off as it is blasted, leav ing an open stope. 4) Sublevel caving - an induced caving method in which the ore is blasted by ring drilling from drifts; overlying rock is expected to cave as the ore is
ادامه مطلبSublevel shrinkage (SLSh) is an underground mining method similar to sublevel caving (SLC) but with continuous backfilling from the top. It features a top-down mining sequence with production drifts orientated in a longitudinal or transverse way in the orebody. Fan drilling and blasting is done from the production drifts, from where the ore …
ادامه مطلبIn present study, a network flow algorithm has been developed to optimize the stope boundary for the sublevel stoping method. The proposed algorithm is combined with the Mining Rock Mass Rating (MRMR) classification system presented by Laubscher (1993) to obtain the optimum size of the stopes subjected to the maximum stable width. …
ادامه مطلبOther articles where sublevel stoping is discussed: mining: Blasthole stoping: In sublevel stoping, shorter blastholes are drilled from sublevels located at shorter vertical intervals along the vertical stope. A fairly typical layout is shown in the figure. In vertical retreat mining the stope does not take the shape of a vertical slot. Instead, the trough …
