The open-pit slope stability directly restricts the safety of the mine and is one of the key factors affecting the economic benefits of the mine. The characteristics of the open-pit slope are as follows. (1) The slope is high, and its strike is long. There are many exposed rock strata, and the rock mass structure is complex.

Stripping ratio is the ratio of the volume of waste rock stripped off to the volume of ore exploited during the process of surface mining. It indicates the volume of waste rock required to be stripped for mining per cubic ore. Stripping ratio (see Fig. 1) is an important technical-economic indicator in open-pit mining, which reflects the ...

The mining process is used to separate rock or ore from surrounding rock. There are four main mining methods: underground, open surface (pit), placer, and in-situ mining. The method used depends on the type of mineral resource that is mined, its location beneath the surface, and whether the resource is worth enough money to justify extracting it.
