Vertical crater retreat (VCR), also known as Vertical retreat mining, is an open stoping, bottomup mining method that involves vertically drilling largediameter holes into the orebody from the top, and then blasting horizontal slices of the orebody into an undercut. A system of primary and secondary stopes is often used in VCR mining, where ...

Hardrock mining involves uncovering and extracting nonfuel metal and mineral deposits of solid ores or eroded deposits in streambeds. Eleven common minerals mined are copper, gold, iron ore, lead, molybdenum, phosphate rock, platinum, potash, silver, uranium, and zinc. The combined value of the eleven metals and minerals listed above was 12. ...

Enough ore has to be removed before drilling and blasting can start on the next slice. Once the ore is completely blasted, it is then drawn off or shrunk. Though this method is selective and allows for low dilution, most of the ore will stay in the stope until mining is complete. This means a delayed return of investment. To provide an adequate ...

resulting from research into drilling and blasting may likely bring wider adoption of conventional methods. When the drilling and blasting method is used, the ground is shattered by the detonation of explosives within holes drilled into the solid rock.

In surface mining, excavation and cutting equipment can dig soft weathered ore with high productivity. However, above a certain level of rock hardness and competence, the productivity of excavation equipment is reduced significantly and therefore blasting is required to extract the ore more efficiently (Scott, 2009).Rock blasting in hard rock mining and quarrying is in a sense the first stage ...

Pilot drilling is a process of drilling a pilot hole in a small diameter along the axis of shaft (Fig. 4). When the pilot hole breaks through into the lower level, the roller bit is removed and replaced with a reaming head. The reamer is rotated and pulled back toward the drilling unit, and eventually the shaft is formed.

What is drilling and blasting? This is a process followed to break rock for excavation purposes, via controlled use of explosives and other methods such as gas pressure blasting pyrotechnics. Drilling and blasting is practiced most often in mining, quarrying, and civil engineering projects. The result of rock blasting is often known as a rockcut.
