Apr 09, 2015 Exploitation of existing iron ore deposit is the easier part of the mining operations. The harder part is to find new ore deposits and to define their extent and the iron content (grade). Exploration is the process by which the accumulations of iron ore minerals can be found in the earth’s crust.
Mining Mining Prospecting and exploration: Various techniques are used in the search for a mineral deposit, an activity called prospecting. Once a discovery has been made, the property containing a deposit, called the prospect, is explored to determine some of the more important characteristics of the deposit. Among these are its size, shape, orientation in space, and location with respect
Iron ore mining can be broadly divided into two categories namely 1) manual mining which is employed in small mines and 2) mechanized mining is suitable for large iron ore mines. Manual mining method is normally limited to float ores and small mines. Mining of reef ore
Mar 14, 2014 Mining techniques usually consist of two types based on excavation methods. These are surface mining and underground mining (sub surface mining). Iron ore is almost exclusively mined by surface operations. The most predominant surface mining methods used for mining of iron ores are open pit mining methods and open cut mining methods.
Detailed mapping on 1:2,000 or 1:1,000 scale. Pitting, trenching and bed rock sampling on all out- crop sections. Drilling on systematic pattern upto 60 to 120m depth and at 100m strike interval for gold, 200m for base-metals and 400m 500m for limestone.
A modern and important variant of this method is known as vertical crater retreat (VCR) mining. A few examples of commodities mined by this method include iron and palladium. Open stoping. This type of mining is used to recover steeply dipping orebodies in competent rock. The ore is removed from the stope as soon as it is mined.
The method is similar to cut and fill mining with the ex ception that after being blasted, broken ore is left in the stope where it is used t o support the surrounding rock and as a platform from

As conclusion, the IP result suggests the area is dominated with colluviums with chargeability rate of <5msec which high potential for iron ore mining. The chargeability values of 3-5msec could indicate an average grade of 10 -20% and 0.1-3msec could indicate an average grade of 20-40% of iron ore.∞Figure 1 :1Pole Vol. 17 [2012], Bund.

Apr 20, 2010 Ore body orientation/mining method used Can be used with any ore body orientation Best for use with deep or long ore bodies Removal, disposal or reuse of spoils Can be reused but spoil size and consistency is highly variable. Removal due to variable size of rocks can be difficult. Can be reused; uniformly sized muck chips.

Prospecting and exploration that is a search for precious metals deposits is not a simple process because big deposits were discovered a long time ago. There are several places with important content of precious metals waiting for skill prospectors. The large mining companies of the world are focused in big deposits and the small deposits are attractive for small miners and perhaps their
‘mining’ operations The Court favourably quoted the decision of FCT v Broken Hill Pty Co Ltd (1969) 120 CLR 240, in which the High Court drew a distinction between the extraction of materials (mining) and the treatment of materials (non-mining). To this end, the High Court noted that iron ore mining
Besides articles covering the whole spectra from geology, mineral prospecting and exploration, mining infrastructure, principles of raise boring and different mining methods, the book presents a number of case studies gathered from all around the world.
Various sorting systems are used in other industries to separate materials, but few mining companies use them. Ore sorting in mining is usually considered a preconcentration method of upgrading run-of-mine ore before another beneficiation process. Ore sorting is a
LKAB is using a variation of conventional prospecting drilling to search for new orebodies and secure reserves for the future. Prospecting drilling will allow the iron ore miner to gain more detailed knowledge of the geometry and geochemistry of mineralisation, but this process can often be expensive in both man hours and euros.

Iron ores are rocks and minerals from which metallic iron can be economically extracted. The ores are usually rich in iron oxides and vary in color from dark grey, bright yellow, or deep purple to rusty red. The iron is usually found in the form of magnetite (Fe 3 O 4, 72.4% Fe), hematite (Fe 2 O 3, 69.9% Fe), goethite (FeO(OH), 62.9% Fe), limonite (FeO(OH)·n(H 2 O), 55% Fe) or siderite (FeCO

Magnetic methods are more popular in mineral exploration than gravity, not least because magnetic data can be quickly recorded from the air and in conjunction with other geophysical surveys. Land gravity surveys, by contrast, may require greater field efforts (Figs. 1, 5 and 6), more time, and more commitment of scarce capital.

Prospecting is the first stage of the geological analysis (followed by exploration) of a territory.It is the search for minerals, fossils, precious metals, or mineral specimens.It is also known as fossicking.. Traditionally prospecting relied on direct observation of mineralization in rock outcrops or in sediments.

Mining Mining Underground mining: When any ore body lies a considerable distance below the surface, the amount of waste that has to be removed in order to uncover the ore through surface mining becomes prohibitive, and underground techniques must be considered. Counting against underground mining are the costs, which, for each ton of material mined, are much higher underground than on the
