What is the difference between prospecting and mining?
Prospecting is the act of looking for a spot where there is valuable ore, in order to mine there. Mining is the extraction of the ore from such a place.
What is the relationship between mineral ore and gangue?
Gangue is the undesired material of an ore.
What is the overburden soil?
In geology, overburden soil is the soil and other material which lies over a rock formation or mineral deposit.
What does pressure from above remove from sediment to form sedimentary rocks?
The overburden pressure removes air and water, and therefore space, from between sediment particles.
What is the difference between a mine and a quarry?
A quarry is the name for a place where rock is taken from the ground. It is always above ground. A mine can be below ground or at ground level and is where ore is taken from the ground. Marble is quarried, coal is mined. That is the difference of a mine and a quarry.
How do you calculate the stripping ratio?
We divide the overburden thickness by ore thickness to get the stripping ratio For example if we have an overburden thickness of 80m and ore thickness of 50 m , then the stripping ratio will be: 80/50= 1.6
How do you calculate stripping ratio for Open Pit Mines?
Overburden tons/ore tons

What is the difference between bauxite and aluminum?

Is Ore to Overburden ratio and Stripping ratio are same?
Yes, a 3:1 stripping ratio means that mining one cubic meter of ore will require mining three cubic meters of waste rock.
What is the difference between prospecting and mining?
Prospecting is the act of looking for a spot where there is valuable ore, in order to mine there. Mining is the extraction of the ore from such a place.
What is lead distance?
It is the one sided distance traveled by a vehicle in a cycle of working. This term is used in mining for one sided distance traveled by the dumper in process of dumping of overburden (from the ore body to the dump) or dumping of ore(from the ore body to processing plant/stack yard).
