1. Draw control strategy for sublevel caving mines : A holistic approach
Abstract : Sublevel caving is an underground mass mining method used for extracting different types of ores from the earth crust. Mines using sublevel caving (SLC) as the primary mining method are generally highly mechanized with standardized and independent unit operations. READ MORE

2. Draw control strategy for sublevel caving mines : A probabilistic approach
Abstract : Sublevel caving is an underground mass mining method used for extracting different types of ores from the earth crust. Mines using sublevel caving (SLC) as the primary mining method are generally highly mechanized with standardized and independent unit operations. READ MORE

3. Improved understanding of sublevel blasting : Determination of the extent of the compacted zone, its properties and the effects on caving
Abstract : Sublevel caving (SLC) is a mass mining method relying on the flowability of the blasted material. The ore is blasted in slices against caved material which is mainly waste rock. The result of the confined blast is greatly influenced by the interaction between the blasted material and the caved material. READ MORE

4. Towards understanding breakage and flow in sublevel caving (SLC) : Development of new measurement techniques and results from full-scale tests
Abstract : Blast function, fragmentation and gravity flow are core elements for sublevel caving (SLC). For the ore recovery to be as high and the waste rock dilution as low as possible all three elements have to work as planned. READ MORE

5. Role of Fragmentation at the Production Level of a Sublevel Caving Operation
Abstract : This research was conducted to evaluate the association of rock fragmentation with different unit operations of a sublevel caving (SLC) production cycle. Drilling, charging, and blasting, as well as the nature of the rock mass, can affect the fragmentation observed at the drawpoints. READ MORE
