Q33

A vertical ore body having a consistent width of 100 m has been excavated by the open pit method up to a depth of 100 m at a pit slope angle of 45°. The figure shows the cross section of the open pit. If the ore body is further excavated by a depth of 10 m, maintaining the same pit slope angle, the ratio of waste rock to ore is
