opencast mine
SECL Gevra Project - Dipika Augmented Coal Mine Area
It should not be more than 10% of the bucket size of the excavator.
No one knows exactly for sure what Mine it was from, however it is believed to be from the Kollur mine in Golconda, India.
An opencast mine, also known as an open-pit or open-cut mine, is a type of surface mining where minerals, particularly stone and ores, are extracted from a large excavation in the ground. This method involves removing overburden (the soil and rock overlaying the mineral deposit) to access the desired materials. Opencast mining is typically used for resources that are located close to the surface, allowing for efficient extraction but often resulting in significant landscape alteration and environmental impact. It is commonly employed for materials such as coal, limestone, and various types of rock used in construction.
A mineral deposit is afforded by 1. Haul roads and steps.- in the case of an opencast mine 2. Incline and adit.- in the case of shallow underground mine. 3. Pit of shaft.- in the case of deep ug mine.
because opencast mining doesnt require shafts and tunnels to be built unlike other approaches such as deep mining. it is on the surface so transportation costs from underground to ground level do not exist. insurance costs for miners may be lower as there is no risk of the mine 'caving in'.
The biggest diamond found to date -- 3,000+ carats -- is named Cullinan, named after Sir Thomas Cullinan, the owner of the Premier Mine, where the stone was found.
Airborne dust surveys in opencast mines are typically conducted by placing dust samplers at strategic locations around the mine site to collect airborne particles. These samplers are then analyzed to determine the concentration and composition of the dust particles present in the air. This data is used to assess the effectiveness of dust control measures and to ensure that exposure levels are within acceptable limits for worker safety and environmental regulations.
Coal mines can be found in several countries around the world, including China, the United States, India, Australia, and Indonesia. These countries have significant coal reserves and active mining operations.
People may not want to live near an opencast mine due to concerns about environmental degradation, including air and water pollution, which can adversely affect health and quality of life. The noise and dust generated by mining operations can create an unappealing living environment. Additionally, there may be worries about the impact on property values and local ecosystems, as well as disruptions caused by heavy vehicle traffic and mining activities.
karls is the second smallest??? lol and mine is the second biggest
