Use Of Shotcrete Made With Mine Waste To Reduce Costs And Environmental Impacts Of Waste Disposal, Casey Penney
Graduate Theses & Non-Theses
Mine waste rock is often recycled for paste and cement backfill in underground cut and fill mining operations. Aggregate in concrete and road surfacing material is another use if the mine waste does not contain deleterious materials that can degrade surface and ground water quality where it is used. Shotcrete usage in mining has been primarily limited to packaged dry mixes from offsite manufacturers. Substituting a manufacturer’s pre-mixed shotcrete with crushed and sized mine waste rock can reduce both the shotcrete cost and the environmental impact of waste disposal operations by reducing the required volume capacity and footprint size required …

Open Pit Mining Operations, James A. Simon
Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970
This report on open pit mining operations will discuss: the history of open pit mining, factors important in the selection of open pit mining and in the development of an open pit, and the various mining and operational methods used in this type of an operation. Stripping coal mining operations will be discussed but the majority of the report will be on open pit metal mines.
