It is sufficiently obvious that a chemical analysis or an assay will only give him data as to the elements present and will leave him more or lessin the dark as to the minerals representedin the ore. Since it has been found that certain sulfidesare more amenable to flota- tion methods than others, the value of accurate mineralogical determination of the ores would appear to be particularly necessary 'in this form of milling. However, it should also be quite evident that any milling problem would be benefited at its inception by a careful study of the mineral content of the ore, the approximate quantitative proportions of the minerals present, and their mutual inter-relationships. As far as the writer is aware the only satisfactory method for examining these ores microscopically is by means of , polished sections in reflected light. This branch of Mineralogy, known variously as Mineralography or Mineragraphy, may also be applied to the microscopic study of mill-products in the difierent stages of separation. Where the fragmental ma-terial is fairly coarse a thin layer of it may be set in melted sealing-wax and polished in the ordinary way. If the material is fine enough to pass through a 4S-meshscreen, before polishing, it must be mixed with a combination of melted sealing-wax and balsam.

  • Myths of Deep and High Stress Mining — Reality Checks with Case Histories
    Deep Mining 2017: Eighth International Conference on Deep and High Stress Mining – J Wesseloo (ed.) © 2017 Australian Centre for Geomechanics, Perth, ISBN 978-0-9924810-6-3 doi:10.36487/ACG_rep/1704_58_Suorineni Myths of deep and high stress mining — reality checks with case histories FT Suorineni University of New South Wales, Australia Abstract The theme of this conference is ‘deep and high stress mining’. Obviously, mining at depth and in high stress is a current challenge and will continue to be so. Despite the several years of dedication to this subject and its importance, the definition of what is ‘deep’ and ‘high stress’ remains a matter of conjecture. Clear understanding of these terms, are fundamental to the design of excavations to achieve the benefits of the knowledge accumulated on the subject over the years. This paper aims at critically examining conditions that constitute high stress and explores what is ‘depth’ in the mining context. International case histories are used to demonstrate how a misunderstanding of ‘depth’ and ‘high stress’ can result in wrong mine layouts and excavation designs. The paper then provides conditions that constitute high stress and deep mining as a guide to mine layouts and the design of excavations to cope with these conditions. Keywords: deep mining, high stress, case histories 1 Introduction Stress is a significant factor in determining the safe and economic extraction of orebodies and, hence, an important consideration in determining mining methods. Stacey and Wesseloo (1998) state that from the point of view of planning of mining operations, the in situ stress field is the most important input parameter for modelling of excavations.

  • The Sudbury Basin Stress Tensor – Myth Or Reality?
    Deep Mining 2014 – M Hudyma and Y Potvin (eds) © 2014 Australian Centre for Geomechanics, Perth, ISBN 978-0-9870937-9-0 doi:10.36487/ACG_rep/1410_43_Suorineni The Sudbury Basin stress tensor – myth or reality? FT Suorineni The University of New South Wales, Australia F Malek Vale Canada Ltd., Canada Abstract Sudbury Basin is host to many underground mines, most of which are seismically active. Some of these mines, e.g. Creighton Mine, have been in operation for over a century and can be said to be matured. Others, e.g. Glencore Xstrata Nickel Rim South Mine, have just been opened and can be classified as young. Several in situ stress measurements have been performed in these mines over the years. Mine seismicity and rockburst research has been very active in the Sudbury Basin since 1984 following the then Falconbridge Mine disaster. Stress tensor is one of the critical inputs in numerical models for the assessment of excavation performance, support demand and rockbursts and seismicity potential. It is also an important input in closed-form solutions for similar purposes. Over the years, several technical reports have referred to a Sudbury Basin stress tensor. In a recent review study of stress measurements in the Sudbury Basin as a means of validating the so called Sudbury Basin stress tensor, the supposed stress tensor source could be hardly identified. It is important to recognise that in situ stress measurement errors remain significantly high and would be unacceptable in any other branch of engineering (Hoek 1994). To improve confidence in these measurements several carefully measured data are required.

  • Examples of Ground Support Practice in Challenging Ground Conditions at Vale’S Deep Operations in Sudbury
    Deep Mining 2014 – M Hudyma and Y Potvin (eds) © 2014 Australian Centre for Geomechanics, Perth, ISBN 978-0-9870937-9-0 doi:10.36487/ACG_rep/1410_19_Yao Examples of ground support practice in challenging ground conditions at Vale’s deep operations in Sudbury M Yao Vale Canada Ltd., Canada A Sampson-Forsythe Vale Canada Ltd., Canada AR Punkkinen Vale Canada Ltd., Canada Abstract Vale has operated a number of underground mines in the Ontario division in Sudbury for over a century. During this time, numerous mining methods have been employed including cut-and-fill, drift-and-fill, post pillar cut-and-fill, modified sublevel caving, underhand cut-and-fill/drift and fill plus bulk mining methods such as vertical retreat mining (VRM)/slot-slash, uppers retreat and underhand bulk mining. The division hosts a wide variety of orebodies of varying geometries, many of these at advanced stages of mining extraction. Consequently, the geomechanical challenges are substantial and include both gravity-driven and rockburst-prone ground failure conditions that are further exacerbated by rock mass characteristics and ever-increasing mining depths. Typically the gravity-driven scenarios include the recovery of remnant pillars in old mined out areas, mining through consolidated backfill and recovery of post-failure sill pillars. Burst-prone conditions become a challenge when mining through stiff and brittle geological structures, upon recovery of highly stressed sill pillars in narrow vein ore bodies or when mining at depths in excess of 2,500 m from surface. Gravity driven and stress induced ground failures may occur simultaneously. Underhand cut-and-fill for sill pillar recovery in narrow vein ore bodies are also known to involve risk from both of these failure mechanisms.

The intake air for Creighton Mine’s ventilation system is conditioned by continuously pulling ambient air through the Natural Heat Exchange Area (NHEA). The NHEA is a large-scale volume created by previous open-pit and block cave mining at Creighton that contains significant broken rock tonnage with the ability to store ambient coolth and heat on a seasonal basis. The study reported in this paper is part of an on-going collaborative research project conducted by Vale and MIRARCO. The project is investigating options to extend the efficiency of the NHEA system and provide cooler air to deeper levels of Creighton Mine. A three- dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model is being developed and calibrated for dynamic modeling and simulation of the NHEA’s thermal physics. The calibrated model will be used to support the assessment of both operation and system design variations to improve the NHEA’s performance.

Developing exploration vectors towards Sudbury breccia- hosted Cu-Ni-PGE mineralization is inhibited by an insufficient understanding of the relative contributions of footwall lithologies versus impact melt. By combining whole-rock geochemistry, field observations, statistical modelling and petrography, this study has determined that Sudbury breccia is a parautochthonous shock melt, which does not require a melt sheet contribution.

  • THE ORES, THEIR M|NERAIS, METALS and DISTRIBUTION By
    PART II THE FACTS:THE ORES,THEIR M|NERAIS, METALS AND DISTRIBUTION by J. E. Hawley and R. L. Stanron This part is largely factual. It is divided into four sections. In the first the megascopic features of the ore deposits and their classifications are considered. The second deals with the descriptive mineralogy and chemical characteristics of both metallic and non-metallic constituents in the general order of their abundance. In the third, the relationships, chiefly microscopic, of primary ore minerals to rock-forming minerals are reviewed for later consideration, and in the fourth data available on the distribution of the major and minor base and precious metals, as well as certain metal and mineral ratios are examined. A. THE ORE DEPOSITS The gross features of the sulphide deposits at Sudbury have been described in considerable detail by many authors, so that only a general summary of their characteristics need be given here. Referred to by some as "monotonously similar" they do, however, show a few distinctive differences from place to place. They have been well illustrated by Knight and others. 1. Cr,essrr.rcATroNoF THE OnB DBposrrs coleman's original classification on a basis of distribution into marginal and ofset types has been a most useful one, not only with respect to their geological location but also in emphasizing certain broad mineralogical differences.
