An underground panel in a coal mine is being developed on B & P system. The pillar size is 30 m centre to centre and the adjacent galleries are 4 m wide. The percentage of extraction during development is
This method is used for mining narrow veins or pay streaks, where the ore occurs as a distinct band and can be separated easily from the wall rocks. The method of mining is known as
Prior to starting opencast working some trenches are excavated to expose the mineral body. These trenches are generally very long but limited in depth. What is its approximate depth?
For what depth of coal seam from surface, the distance between centers of adjacent pillars shall not be less than 45 m for a gallery width of maximum 4.8 m?
A block ore between two levels 30 m apart is 40 m long. The ore body thickness, specific gravity and grade are 2 m, 2.8 and 2% respectively. The tonnage of copper available in the block of ore is
