Because of the low strength of soft rock represented by coal mines, mechanical equipment can cut and separate the ores during mining, facilitating the implementation of mechanized continuous mining. In hard rock mining, because of the high strength of the ore rock, rock drilling and blasting must be used to break the rock, …

A 1/20 scale experimental dozer push test rig was designed and constructed to quantify the expected production rates (loose cubic metres per hour) for dozers operating in hard rock bulk push applications. The particle size distribution of the material employed in the test rig was modelled on a fragmented muckpile representative of that for a typical …

Production is estimated to be between 6–8 000 tons per machine per month working a three- shift 22-day cycle. The undercutting process generates loads on the cutter bearings and cutter carbides that are markedly different from more conventional hard rock cutting. This initially caused carbide and bearing failures.

The Mining Bureau has separate programs for hard rock exploration and hard rock mining. Hard rock exploration requires a license to perform drilling and trenching and other activities to determine if an economical mineral resource is present. Hard rock mining can occur under a Small Miner Exclusion Statement (SMES) or under an Operating Permit.

The primary aim of every twenty-first century mining operation is to extract as much ore as possible in a safe and economical manner. Failure in mine excavation occurs when the shear stress acting on the rock is greater than the shear strength of the rock mass. The stability of rock slopes in open-pit mine and quarry operations is …

Rock bursts are also a major problem in hard rock mining and there is extensive literature on this topic. The coal mining work follows a similar approach. Dubinski and Mutke (1996) provide an example of a relatively recent paper concerning a coal mining application. Outbursts, however, are a unique coal mining problem.
