2. Borehole mining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borehole_mining

   Borehole Mining (BHM) is a remote operated method of extraction (mining) of mineral resources through boreholes based on in-situ conversion of ores into a mobile form (slurry) by means of high pressure water jetting (hydraulicking). This process is carried-out from a land surface, open pit floor, underground mine or floating vessel through pre ...

4. In situ leach - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_situ_leach

   In-situ leach mining involves pumping of a lixiviant into the ore body via a borehole, which circulates through the porous rock dissolving the ore and is extracted via a second borehole. The lixiviant varies according to the ore deposit: for salt deposits the leachate can be fresh water into which salts can readily dissolve.

5. Borehole - Wikipedia

   The British sinologist and historian Michael Loewe states that borehole sites could reach as deep as 600 metres (2,000 ft). [3] K.S. Tom describes the drilling process: "The Chinese method of deep drilling was accomplished by a team of men jumping on and off a beam to impact the drilling bit while the boring tool was rotated by buffalo and oxen."

   Shaft mining, mining vertically; Slope mining, mining at an inclined angle Stoping is the process of extracting out the ore from underground, leaving a hole called a stope; Room and pillar; Longwall mining; Retreat mining; Fire-setting, a method used in stoping by setting fires to timber and letting the resulting collapse break up the rock

7. Boring (earth) - Wikipedia

   Borehole drilling has a long history. Han dynasty China (202 BC – 220 AD) used deep borehole drilling for mining and other projects. Chinese borehole sites could reach as deep as 600 m (2,000 ft). [1]

8. Hard Rock Miner's Handbook - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_Rock_Miner's_Handbook

   The Hard Rock Miner's Handbook is a reference book that deals with the underground hard-rock mining industry. It was written by engineer Jack de la Vergne as a non-profit publication. [1] The first edition was published in 2000 by McIntosh Engineering, a mining engineering consulting company. [2]

9. Underground hard-rock mining - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underground_hard-rock_mining

   There are two principal phases of underground mining: development mining and production mining. Development mining is composed of excavation almost entirely in (non-valuable) waste rock in order to gain access to the orebody. There are six steps in development mining: remove previously blasted material (muck out round), scaling (removing any unstable slabs of rock hanging from the roof and ...
