Optimizing the open pit-to-underground mining transition ...

2017-2-16 · An early transition model assigns large aggregated blocks to be extracted via open pit or underground mining methods in order to maximize the value of the deposit (Bakhtavar, Shahriar, & Oraee, 2008).This idea was later improved to include the time element and to capture underground capital costs (Newman, Yano, & Rubio, 2013).In both previous transition models,

Planning for an underground transition - Mining Technology

2022-1-7 · Planning for an underground transition. Deciding where to end the open pit and start the underground operation has received considerable attention in the literature since the 1980s. Some believe that you should mine the biggest open pit you can. Others take a strict cost analysis approach to determine the depth at which the transition occurs.

Mining Sites: The Transition from Open-Pit to

2019-7-10 · While both underground and open-pit mining is widely accepted mining processes, there is a greater inclination to further expand underground mining. This transition from open-pit to underground begins when open-pit mines are exhausted or inaccessible; meaning, they have either been depleted of minerals, rocks, and resources, or they are ...

Surface to Underground - Making the Transition

The growth of the mining industry around Australia over the last ten years has seen many open cut mines developed on shallow oxide reserves. Most of these have been gold operations, although there are some copper mines in the list, too. Many of these have exhausted their oxide reserves and have made the transition to underground mining to access their deeper sulphide

2022-1-25 · Transition from open pit to underground mining often risks mud rushes (if mud forming minerals are present), and from sumps and surface dams. Air blasts can result from underground collapses or mud rushes. The presence of an abandoned pit above can lead to greater risks of dilution and mud rushes. The choice of underground mining method affects ...
