Geological and geophysical models are essential for developing reliable mine designs and mineral processing flowsheets. For mineral resource assessment, mine planning, and mineral processing, a deeper understanding of the orebody's features, geology, mineralogy, and variability is required. We investigated the gold-bearing Black …

A long hole mining system was then defined, with a corresponding face mining system, which led to the design of a test programme for the Solo drilling rig. Earlier experience at Telfer The proposed face mining system was based on a mining method that is practised at Telfer Gold Mine in Western Australia. Telfer has a series of domed reefs that ...

The Orkney mine has a chequered history. The seven shafts that constitute the mine initially formed part of the Anglo American Vaal Reef Operation. The ownership of the shafts then changed to African Rainbow Minerals (ARM). In October 2003, ARM merged with Harmony Gold and the mine's name changed to the Harmony Orkney operation.

However, most of the narrow reef mines where 'trackless mechanized mining' was introduced in the early 1980s have reverted to conventional mining. In the wider reefs mechanized mining is the option of choice, unfortunately most of the gold and platinum mines have very narrow reefs that are not suitable to' off the shelf' equipment.
