Using waste rock as backfill in mining operations can have several economic advantages that can lower overall mining costs and effectively reduce the cutoff grade needed to make a mining project viable. Here are some key points explaining how this works: 1. Reduction in Waste Management Costs: - Minimizing the Need for Disposal: By utilizing waste rocks as backfill, mining companies can avoid the costs associated with transporting and disposing of waste material. This reduces the need for waste rock storage facilities, which can be expensive to construct and maintain. - Maintaining Land Use: By backfilling pits with waste rock, companies can minimize land use and environmental impact while potentially avoiding regulatory costs related to waste management. 2. Decrease in Land Rehabilitation Costs: - Stabilization of Mine Sites: Backfilling helps stabilize the mine site, reducing the long-term costs associated with land rehabilitation and remediation once mining operations cease. - Easier Rehabilitation: Using waste material for backfilling can lead to more straightforward rehabilitation strategies, since the mined land can be restored more easily if it has already been filled and stabilized. 3. Improved Resource Recovery: - Increased Extraction Efficiency: Backfilling can allow for more efficient resource recovery. When waste rock is managed properly and used to support mine workings, it can create opportunities to mine lower-grade ore which, otherwise, would not have been economical to extract. - Optimizing Mining Operations: By using waste rock to provide structural support, mining operations may be able to operate in a more flexible manner with larger mining sequences and lower operational risks. 4. Lower Transportation Costs: - Cutting Haulage Needs: Using waste rock locally reduces the need to transport backfill material from other sites, leading to notable savings on transportation costs. These savings can further decrease the overall operational costs of mining. 5. Economic Impact on Cutoff Grade: - Redefining Economic Viability: The reduction in overall operational and management costs allows for a reassessment of the cutoff grade, which is the minimum grade at which a particular mineral can be economically mined. Lower mining costs enable the feasibility of mining lower-grade ores, thus enhancing the overall resource base that is economically extractable. - Increased Flexibility: By lowering the cutoff grade, mining companies can decide to extract ores that were previously considered uneconomic, thus increasing the total recoverable reserves and potentially improving the mine's overall profitability.

𝗢𝗶𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 #### Extraction Methods 1. **Surface Mining**: Surface mining is used when oil sands deposits are located close to the surface. This method involves removing large amounts of overburden (the soil and rock covering the oil sands) to access the bitumen. The sands are then transported to extraction facilities, where hot water and chemicals separate the bitumen from the sand and clay. The extracted bitumen undergoes further processing to upgrade it into synthetic crude oil. 2. **In-Situ Extraction**: For deeper deposits, in-situ extraction methods are employed. The most common in-situ technique is Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). SAGD involves drilling pairs of horizontal wells into the oil sands. Steam is injected into the upper well to heat the bitumen, reducing its viscosity. The heated bitumen then flows into the lower well, where it is pumped to the surface. Other in-situ methods include Cyclic Steam Stimulation (CSS) and solvent-based extraction techniques. #### Environmental and Economic Considerations Oil sands extraction has significant environmental impacts. Surface mining operations disturb large land areas and create tailings ponds, which contain water, sand, clay, and residual bitumen. These ponds pose risks to wildlife and require extensive management and reclamation efforts. In-situ extraction, while less land-disruptive, is energy-intensive and produces greenhouse gas emissions. Efforts to mitigate environmental impacts include improving the efficiency of extraction processes, developing technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhancing land reclamation practices. Companies are also investing in research to find more sustainable extraction methods, such as using less water and incorporating renewable energy sources. Economically, oil sands represent a substantial investment. The high cost of extraction and upgrading, coupled with fluctuations in global oil prices, can affect the profitability of oil sands projects. However, with vast reserves and advancing technologies, oil sands remain a vital component of the global energy mix.

The complete set of continuous coal mining equipment for surface mines in high alpine regions, developed by CCTEG, has successfully completed system assembly at the Baorixile Open PIt Coal Mine. It successfully overcomes the technical challenges associated with the independent research, development, and manufacturing of core equipment for #coal #mining in #alpine regions. The project has achieved efficient "one-step" system assembly of key equipment, including a high-cutting-force compact bucket-wheel excavator (BWE), transporter, receiver, and belt conveyor at the working face. The bucket-wheel excavator (#BWE) is the core piece of equipment in continuous coal mining systems for #openpit mines, and its excavation capacity directly determines the production capacity of the continuous mining system. To meet the requirements of Baorixile’s alpine environment, characterized by extreme temperature differences and medium-hard coal quality, CCTEG spent three years on independent research and development. During this time, we overcame more than ten key technical challenges, including the theoretical framework for bucket-wheel continuous #mining design, digital control systems, quality control in processing and manufacturing, and oversized component transportation. As a result, CCTEG custom-developed a bucket-wheel excavator with a cutting force of up to 200 kN/m, capable of cutting materials with a compressive strength of 25 MPa. This cutting force level positions the equipment at the forefront of international standards for similar capacity equipment. #mining #openpit #ccteg #bwe #opencast #coalmining

The long wall excavation method in mining is a highly efficient technique primarily used in coal mining, involving the full extraction of large rectangular coal blocks in a continuous operation. Using a long wall face, typically 100 to 300 meters long, hydraulic roof supports, or shields, hold up the mine roof while a shearer or plow cuts the coal. The coal is transported to the surface via a conveyor belt. As the shearer advances, the supports move forward, allowing controlled roof collapse, known as caving. The method has notable environmental drawbacks. Subsidence from the controlled roof collapse can cause ground movement, damaging ecosystems, water bodies, and infrastructure like buildings and roads. This can disrupt drainage patterns and contaminate groundwater. What is your view on this method? Comment below.
