Numeric modelling of blasting and gravity flow in sublevel caving mines

Purpose and goal The aim with this project is to develop a numerical model to assess both blast-induced fragmentation in a semi-confined situation and the gravity flow characteristics of fragments in sublevel caving…

Innovative DTH drill monitoring a pre study

Purpose and goal The purpose of this project is to evaluate the potential of MWD technology for pneumatic Down-The-Hole (DTH) drilling which is common in many open pits. The specific objectives are to…

Stochastic mine design

Purpose and goal Geological uncertainty has a significant impact on the real value of mining projects. A new approach is proposed for designing open pit mines based on geological uncertainty that combines stochastically…
