Abstract Underground mining method selection is a critical decision problem for available underground ore deposits in exploitation design As many comprehensive factors such as physical parameters economic benefits and environmental effects are claimed to be established and a group of experts are involved in the issue the underground mining method selection is deemed as a
Get Price1133 Underground mining In underground mining a minimal amount of overburden is removed to gain access to the ore deposit Access to this ore deposit is gained by tunnels or shafts Tunnels or shafts lead to a more horizontal network of underground tunnels that directly access the ore In an underground mining method called stoping or
Read MoreFundamentally underground hard rock mining has changed very little over the last century or so Shafts and tunnels are excavated and constructed to allow miners to reach an ore zone the ore body is broken up using blasting or other methods and the resulting material transported along tunnels and up shafts to the surface where it is crushed and processed
