Over the last 10 years, the trend toward the mining of deeper, higher tonnage deposits, and lower grade orebodies have made caving mining methods (Block and Sublevel) increasingly attractive to the global mining industry. This is due to their low mining cost. During this period the scale of these caving operations has increased significantly.
challenge. In caving operations, the draw co ntrol regulates loading at the draw point by providing information on when to stop loading. Loading at the draw point for caving operations, such as sublevel caving (SLC), is much more complex than loading for other underground mining methods, for two primary reasons: 1.
In order to complete this thesis work, a literature study on sub level caving mining, shock wave interactions in blasting, effect of delay timing and a study on fragmentation models has been done. The overall process involved a literature study, construction and preparation of small-scale models,

This master thesis is a pilot study for further work to be done by LTU and in a project called SIMS or Sustainable Intelligent Mining Systems, where the aim is to physically demonstrate diesel free LHDs doing productive work in mines. The objective of the thesis was to assess if the integration of battery-powered LHD machines
are geared to caving operations. The primary mining method used in Nevada is a form of mechanized cut-and-fill. This method is amenable to achieving a high rate of recovery when mining irregular ore geometries. Variations on this method are practiced at different mines and within different areas of …

For this senario, a theoretical block caving iron mine will be considered. This mine has an expected reserve of 50 million tonnes. First, an appropriate version of Taylor''s rule must be picked. Since this mine is a room and pillar mine, the most appropriate version would be Long''s 2009 open pit and block caving …
mined by block caving. If an orebody is suitable for mining by block caving, the fragmentation characteristics will have a bearing on the method of ore extraction. Suitability of an Orebody to Block Caving Ideally the orebody should be such that the rock within the stope fails readily and the area outside the stope remains intact.
