35
Q

A field of electricity can be
created in the ground by passing a measured amount of
electric current through it using two electrodes and a

ground known as resistivity

A

Electrical: Induced Polarization.

A

open pit mining

50
Q

produces from a deposit prismatic
blocks of mineral which are both roughly sized and shaped.

A

dimension stone quarrying

51
Q

used mainly for coal, which resembles open pit mining but differs in
one unique respect: The overburden is not transported to
waste dumps for disposal but cast or hauled directly into
adjacent mined-out panels

A

open cast mining

52
Q

a method for surface highwall or outcrop
recovery of coal by boring or excavating openings into the
seam beneath the overburden

A

auger mining

53
Q

augering is a
supplemental method used in conjunction with ________

A

open cast mining

54
Q

intended for the recovery of heavy minerals from
mainly alluvial or placer deposits, using water to excavate,
transport, and/or concentrate the mineral.

A

placer mining

55
Q

employed for the extraction from the earth
of soluble or fusable minerals or those that can be slurried,
using water or a liquid solvent

A

solution mining

56
Q

mining methods that utilizes
minimal ground support in extraction of the valuable ore
materials

A

unsupported methods

57
Q

Ore—or more commonly, coal—is extracted
from rectangular shaped rooms or entries in the ore body or
coal seam, leaving parts of the ore or coal between the
entries as pillars to support the hanging wall or roof.

A

room and pillar

58
Q

tunnels primarily used for ventilation

A

bleeders

59
Q

characterized by irregularly
shaped and sized pillars left for support which may require
little or no planning and the commodity being mined is a
mineral other than coal.

A

stope and pillar

60
Q

a vertical, overhand
mining method whereby most of the broken ore remains in
the stope to form a working floor for the miners

A

shrinkage stoping

61
Q

a patented variation of
Sublevel Stoping and Shrinkage Stoping. It is much safer
because miners and equipment do not enter the stope, and
it is amenable to a high level of mechanization. In these
two differences, it has overcome the two primary
disadvantages of shrinkage stoping

A

vertical crater retreat

62
Q

also known as blasthole or
longhole stoping, is an open stoping, high-production, bulk
mining method applicable to large, steeply dipping, regular
ore bodies having competent ore and rock that require little
or no support

A

sublevel stoping

63
Q

those methods which require
substantial amounts of artificial support to maintain stability in exploitation openings and systematic ground control through out the mine; employed when the other two categories of methods, unsupported and
caving—are not applicable

A

supported methods

64
Q

normally an overhand mining
method in which horizontal slices of ore are excavated in the
stope and replaced with waste as fill.

A

cut and fill

65
Q

which systematic or random timbering with simple supports is employed for ground control; designed for rock masses that are
weak but somewhat competent – not as weak to require square sets, but not sufficiently competent to use cut and fill

A

stull stoping

66
Q

used to mine in
the weakest of rock masses. It is extremely expensive. The
concept of the method is simple: we will mine only a small
volume and immediately build and place timbers into the
opening to support it on all sides. The timbers will be precisely
cut and fitted to form a cuboid.

A

square set stoping

67
Q

those associated with induced,
controlled, massive caving of the ore body, the overlying
rock, or both, concurrent with and essential to the conduct of
mining.

A

caving methods

68
Q

exploitation method used in fairly flatlying, thin, tabular deposits in which along face is established
across a panel between sets of entries and retreated or
advanced by narrow cuts, aided by the complete caving of
the roof or hanging wall

A

69
Q

a mass mining method based upon the
utilization of gravity flow of the blasted ore and the caved waste Rock

A

sublevel caving

70
Q
