| Syllabus: | This unit presents a systems approach to the principles, design and application of the major surface and underground mining methods together with the associated equipment, services and infrastructure. The aim of this unit is to provide students with the capability to select the approrpiate mining method, together with its associated equipment, services and infrastructure, for a given deposit. The unit covers principles of systems engineering, mine services and infrastructure, surface mining methods (method selection, strip mining, open pit mining, high-wall mining, solution mining, surface miners and other mining methods), and underground mining methods (mine access and development, long-wall coal mining, thick-seam coal mining, bord and pillar coal mining, underground metalliferous mining method selection, room and pillar mining, cut and fill mining, sublevel stoping, narrow vein mining, caving methods). |
