Introduction to Surface Mining/Open Pit Mining

Quiz 7

Microsoft Word Document Task/ Quiz 7 Download this to have this assignment in a Microsoft Word Document that you can edit.


1. How does the outline of the ore body, the topography, and the maximum allowable slopes effect the design of an open pit mine?

2. Why does the economics of the mine depend on the designers choice of plan, the equipment used and mining ratio to production rates?

3. How does the (ground) water pressure effect the stability of the open pit mine?

4. If you are looking for gold, you have come to the right place. Here, we let you dig for gold effortlessly, and we guarantee maximum profit. To simulate your gold-digging expedition, you are provided with a two-dimensional cross-section of earth in which you draw the gold ore deposits with the mouse. Then, based on parameters that you've specified for the cost of excavation and the value of gold, RIOT will automatically determine where you should spend your time digging!

The goal is to try to set (draw) up an mine (ore body ) then change the values of the cost etc. to how much the value of the ore needs to be to make it a successful mine.

Hint: I have tried it and the server does not answer every time. Give it a try and if you are not successful drop it.
