Overview of Underground business

• Mineral resources are generated through several geologic effects. • is usually categorized as Soft , while other minerals such as Ferrous and Non-Ferrous are called as Hard Rock.

• UG Soft Rock methods are consisted of “Longwall” and “Room & Pillar”. • Room & Pillar is the oldest method. Rooms are dug progressively in a grid and mineral is extracted. For safety purpose, a part of the mineral layer is left to serve as pillars, which supports the roof as the extraction proceeds. It is highly cost efficient (initial investment and maintenance costs). However, the part of the mineral retained in the pillars cannot be mined and will become lost opportunity.

• Longwall is one of the development approach for the underground mining and this is basically suitable for soft rock (coal). This approach will prevent rock fall by supporting the ceiling, and to carve the coal line by line, carrying out carved rocks by Conveyor • Initial cost is higher than Room and Pillar, but it can continuous excavation and it has High productivity. 1.

• UG Hard Rock methods are roughly divided into Supported methods and Unsupported methods. • Block Caving method is for large deposit. After establishing a room under a mineral vein, its roof is dug in an inverted conical shape, and the ore falls into the room under the pressure of its weight. The mineral ore that has fallen through is brought to the surface through the room. Minerals will be hauled through mine .

• Market size of mining business is increasing. • In underground mining, hard rock segment will increase relatively. • As Open-pit mines are becoming deeper, it is difficult to mine high grade ores, haulage cost of overburden will increase. • So, some portion of Hard rock mining will shift from Surface to Underground operation.
