الحصول على السعرMining. Mareesburg will be an open pit mine. A concentrator built approximately 30km away from the mine will process the mined reef material by using standard concentrating processes. The concentrator will operate at a feed rate of 90,000tpm. Recoveries are estimated to be in the region of 80%.
الحصول على السعرmining: Openpit mining Deposits mined by openpit techniques are generally divided into horizontal layers called benches. The thickness (that is, the height) of the benches depends on the type of deposit, the mineral being mined, and the equipment being used; for large mines it.
الحصول على السعرOpen Pit mining. Open pits are excavated until the strip ratio (the amount of host rock that must be stripped away in order to access new ore) becomes prohibitive to the mine's operating cost. At this point, the operator will evaluate making the transition to underground mining.

الحصول على السعرWhen a resource occurs in shallow horizontal deposits near the surface, the most effective mining method may be strip mining. During strip mining, layers of surface soil and rock are removed from large areas to expose the resource. After heavy machinery removes the soil and rock, the resource is extracted. Then, the soil and rock are replaced.
الحصول على السعرEl Teniente, in Chile, is the world's largest underground copper mine. Open pit mining is employed when the orebodies are extensive, low in grade, and relatively near the surface, where they can be quarried after removal of overburden. Chile also boasts the world's largest (in terms of output) openpit copper mine.
