Product Description
by Beth Thorpe (Editor)
Various mining methods as well as applications have been discussed in this all-inclusive updated book. The economic feasibility of a contemporary mine greatly depends on cautious planning and management. Declining trends in average ore grades, growing mining costs and environmental concerns indicate that this situation is likely to remain this way in near future. Mining techniques for underground as well as surface mineral deposits have been elucidated in this book. The methodologies have been generalized and aimed at conventional applications from distinct mining areas across the world. However, it has been kept in mind that each mineral deposit, with its geology, shape, volume, and grade, is distinct. The aim of this book is to serve as a useful source of reference for engineers, researchers and managers engaged in mining industry, as well as for NGOs, legal organizations, universities, financial institutions and lecturers as well as students engaged in mining engineering.
