ThyssenKrupp mining equipment and systems offer an efficient, reliable and economical solution to mining operations. Some of the applications are: earthmoving for land reclamation, removal of overburden in new open pit mines, mining of raw materials such as lignite, limestone, oil sand, phosphate, bituminous coal, hard rock and ore.

7.2.1: Open Pit Mining. Open pit mining almost always applies to non-coal materials, mostly metal and aggregate mining. However, near-surface steeply dipping coal seams are extracted using open pit mining. Reclamation, i.e., returning the land to an acceptable standard of productive use of the open pit mine is deferred until the mine closes.

Ranjan et al. (2018) and Yakovlev et al. (2019) stated 600 m as a deep open-pit mine, while Rimmelin and Vallejos (2020) defines a deep open-pit mine to be 500 m depth. Bazaluk et al. (2023) considers a deep open-pit mine with depths between 500 and 705 m. Characterization of a large-scale mine is also determined by various factors, …

Environmental hazards are present during every step of the open-pit mining process. Hardrock mining exposes rock that has lain unexposed for geological eras. When crushed, these rocks expose radioactive elements, asbestos-like minerals, and metallic dust. During separation, residual rock slurries, which are mixtures of pulverized rock and ...

Open-pit mines are becoming more intelligent and unmanned. One of the core technologies for autonomous driving is high-definition map technology, while refined mine maps are also needed to support scenarios such as vehicle–shovel collaboration, loading and unloading, production scheduling, and traffic safety control. To better serve …

Mining - Strip, Open-Pit, Quarrying: It has been estimated that more than two-thirds of the world's yearly mineral production is extracted by surface mining. There are several types of surface mining, but the three most common are open-pit mining, strip mining, and quarrying. These differ from one another in the mine geometries created, the techniques …

Open-pit mining, also known as opencast mining, is a surface mining technique that extracts minerals from an open pit in the ground. Open-pit mining is the most common method used throughout the world for mineral mining and does not require extractive methods or tunnels. This surface mining technique is used when mineral or ore deposits …

Of all the mine exploitation systems, block caving has the lowest cost, except for maybe open-pit mining or in-situ recovery. Cut-and-Fill Mining. A method of short-hole mining, cut-and-fill mining is used in irregular or steeply dipping ore zones, especially where the hanging wall limits the use of long-held methods.

Using simulation modeling, different management systems of the open pit mining equipment including fixed and flexible assignments of trucks for loaders have been studied. Developed model in ARENA ...
