Main Technology used in Mining Industry

Mining techniques have transformed dramatically since mining began thousands of years ago. Early mining techniques in NSW, such as the iconic pick, shovel and gold prospecting pans and dryer machine, gave way to increasingly sophisticated technology for extraction and separation of mineral resources.
Mining methods are constantly changing and improving as companies forge new technologies to enhance rates of extraction and minimise impacts such as noise, dust and land and water disturbance. There are numerous mining methods utilised around the world including open-cut mining (truck-and-shovel, strip mining, quarrying and dragline), underground mining (stoping methods, bord-and-pillar, longwall, caving methods, cut-and-fill and retreat benching) and highwall mining. ball mills:http://www.crusher-machine.com/21.html

In NSW, the major mining methods in use are open-cut and underground (bord-and-pillar and longwall). Variations on these techniques are used in coal and metalliferous mining operations throughout the State, depending on the depth and type of the mineral resource. Occasionally there are differences across a mine site that result in a mixture of methods being used, such as at the Perilya mine near Broken Hill where a combination of underground methods are used to extract previously mined sections of the lead, zinc and silver mine.
Block cave mining is a mass mining method that allows for the bulk mining of large, relatively lower grade, orebodies. This method is increasingly being proposed for a number of deposits worldwide, thus the scope for a better understanding of block caving behaviour. Because many existing large open-pit mines are also planning to extend their operations underground by block caving, research is undergoing to investigate the rock deformation mechanisms associated with the transition from surface to underground mining operations.
