A method of shorthole mining, cutandfill mining is used in irregular or steeply dipping ore zones, especially where the hanging wall limits the use of longheld methods. The ore is mined either in slightly inclined or horizontal slices then it is filled with sand, waste rock, or tailings.
Mining method In the oxidized part of the primary mineralization at the Esperance and the SaintElies sites, CME and SMSE both uses openpit mining. Lateritic weathering makes the rock digging easy to use excavators without the need to use explosives.
#0183;#32;Since minimal blasting is required once production begins, operating costs for block caving are generally lower than that of other mining methods, ranging from 5/tonne. Some block caving operations have mining costs that are less than those of open pit mining operations, which is considered to be the cheapest mining method.
Lateritic nickel ore deposits are surficial, weathered rinds formed on ultramafic rocks. They account for 73% of the continental world nickel resources and will be in the future the dominant source for the mining

ceased. This form of mining usually involves the extraction of secondary gold from placer deposits (alluvial, colluvial or elluvial), which can be liberated and treated using gravity methods. In the Guianas, the most popular form of smallscale gold mining is referred to as land dredging, a combination of hydraulicking and suction dredging.

as a method of mining weathered gold lode, phyllitic, quartzitic and lateritic materials. Such deposits can be mined in terraces or benches along the hillside.
At this time, in the early nineties, gold mining in a small way was started on the Mesabi Range. Shafts were sunk and underground method adopted, but as ore bodies were discovered having a very shallow overburden, it was soon decided to strip this overburden. This was started by using teams, scrapers and wagons, then teams and 1ton side dump cars.
appropriate mining method is selected based on technical, economic, and environmentally accountable considerations. The first step in selecting the most appropriate mining method is to compare the economic efficiency of extraction of the deposit by surface and underground mining methods . This section reviews surface mining methods and

Heap leaching is an industrial mining process used to extract precious metals, copper, uranium, and other compounds from ore using a series of chemical reactions that absorb specific minerals and reseparate them after their division from other earth materials. Similar to in situ mining, heap leach mining differs in that it places ore on a liner, then adds the chemicals via drip systems to the
Handbook of gold exploration and evaluation covers a comprehensive range of topics including the nature and history of gold, geology of gold ore deposits, gold deposition in the weathering environment, sedimentation and detrital gold, gold exploration, lateritic and placer gold sampling, mine planning and practise for shallow deposits, metallurgical processes and design, and evaluation, risk
Mining Methods The proposed mining methods for the ASGM operators include strip, terrace and shallow open pit mining methods for alluvial (elluvial or colluvial), weathered (gold lode, phyllitic, quartzitic and lateritic) materials, and auriferous lodes and quartz vein deposits respectively.

The two gold refining methods most commonly employed to derive pure gold are: the Miller process and the Wohlwill process. The Miller process uses gaseous chlorine to extract impurities when gold is at melting point; impurities separate into a layer on the surface of the molten purified gold.
Gold mining is the process of mining of gold or gold ores from the ground. Panning is often marketed as a tourist attraction on former gold fields. Before large production methods are used, a new source must be identified and panning is useful to identify placer gold deposits to be evaluated for commercial viability.
