  2. Man engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man_engine

    A man engine is a mechanism of reciprocating ladders and stationary platforms installed in mines to assist the miners' journeys to and from the working levels. It was invented in Germany in the 19th century and was a prominent feature of tin and copper mines in Cornwall until the beginning of the twentieth century.

  3. Measurement while drilling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_while_drilling

    Although these terms are related, within the context of this section, the term measurement while drilling refers to directional-drilling measurements, e.g. for decision support for the wellbore path, (Inclination and Azimuth) while LWD refers to measurements concerning the geological formations penetrated while drilling. [1]

  4. Mining rock mass rating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mining_rock_mass_rating

    The parameters to calculate the RMR value are similar to those used in the RMR system of Bieniawski. This may be confusing, as some of the parameters in the MRMR system are modified, such as the condition parameter that includes groundwater presence and pressure in the MRMR system whereas groundwater is a separate parameter in the RMR system of ...

    Mine surveying is the practice of determining the relative positions of points on or beneath the surface of the earth by direct or indirect measurements of distance, direction & elevation. [ 1 ] International and National Institutions

  6. Mineral resource estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_resource_estimation

    Mineral resource estimation is used to determine and define the ore tonnage and grade of a geological deposit, from the developed block model.There are different estimation methods used for different scenarios dependent upon the ore boundaries, geological deposit geometry, grade variability and the amount of time and money available.

  7. Room and pillar mining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_and_pillar_mining

    Planning for the development of room and pillar mines operates in much the same way as other mining methods, [10] and begins with establishing ownership of the mine. . Following this, the geology of the mine must be analysed, as this will determine factors like the lifespan of the mine, the production requirements, and the cost to develop and

  9. Slope mining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slope_mining

    Slope mining is a method of accessing valuable geological material, such as coal or ore. A sloping access shaft travels downwards towards the desired material. Slope mines differ from shaft and drift mines, which access resources by tunneling straight down or horizontally, respectively. In slope mining, the primary access to the mine is on an ...
