12 Figure 12.1 Basic infrastructure for an underground mine (after Hamrin, 2001). Mining methods and method selection 12.1 Mining excavations Recovery of mineral from subsurface rock involves the development of physical access to the mineralized zone, liberation of the ore from the enclosing host rock and transport of this material to the mine surface. Excavations of various shapes, sizes, orientations and functions are required to support the series of operations which comprise the complete mining process. A schematic layout of an underground mine is shown in Figure 12.1. Three types of excavations employed in the process are recognised in the figure. These are the ore sources, or stopes, the stope access and service openings, or stope development, and the permanent access and service openings. Irrespective of the method used to mine an orebody, similarities exist between the functions and the required geomechanical performances of the different types of non-production excavations. A stope is the site of ore production in an orebody. The set of stopes generated during ore extraction usually constitutes the largest excavations formed during 347
MINING METHODS AND METHOD SELECTION the exploitation of the deposit. The stoping operation, i.e. ore mobilisation from its in situ setting and its subsequent extraction from the mine void, is the core of the mine production process. Clearly, control of rock performance within the orebody, and in the rock mass adjacent to the orebody, is critical in assuring the efficient geomechanical and economic performance of the individual stopes, and of the mine as a whole. The size of stopes means that their zone of influence is large relative to virtually all other mine excavations. Stope design therefore exercises a dominant rôle in the location, design and operational performance of other excavations which sustain mining activity. The principles of stope layout and design are integrated with the set of engineering concepts and physical operations which together compose the mining method for an orebody. This chapter considers in an introductory way the relation between the geomechanical properties of an orebody (and its host rock mass) and the appropriate method of mining it. The second type of mine excavation identified in Figure 12.1 is represented by stope access and service openings. These consist of in-stope development such as drill headings and slot raises, horizontal and vertical openings for personnel access to stope work places, and ore production and transport openings such as drawpoints, tramming drives and ore passes. These excavations are developed within the orebody rock, or within the orebody peripheral rock. Their operational life approximates that of adjacent stoping activity, and in some cases, such as drill headings, the excavations are consumed in the stoping process. The location of stope development in the zone of geomechanical influence of the stope, and, typically, the immediate proximity of a stope and its related service openings, may impose severe and adverse local conditions in the rock medium. The procedures discussed in preceding chapters may be applied to the design of these openings, provided account is taken of the local stress field generated by stoping activity, or of rock mass disturbance caused by stoping-induced relaxation in the medium. In all cases, design of a stoping layout requires detailed attention to the issues of position, shape and, possibly, support and reinforcement of stope development openings, to assure their function is maintained while adjacent extraction proceeds. These excavation design issues are obviously related closely to the geomechanical principles on which the mining method is based. Permanent access and service openings represent the third class of mining excavations illustrated in Figure 12.1. This class consists of openings which must meet rigorous performance specifications over a time span approaching or exceeding the duration of mining activity for the complete orebody. For example, service and ore hoisting shafts must be capable of supporting high speed operation of cages and skips continuously. Ventilation shafts and airways must conduct air to and from stope blocks and service areas. Haulage drives must permit the safe, high speed operation of loaders, trucks, ore trains and personnel transport vehicles. In these cases, the excavations are designed and equipped to tolerances comparable with those in other areas of engineering practice. The practical mining requirement is to ensure that the designed performance of the permanent openings can be maintained throughout the mine life. In rock mechanics terms, this requirement is expressed as a necessity to locate the relevant excavations (and associated structures) in areas where rock mass displacements, strains and tilts are always tolerable. The magnitudes of these mining-induced perturbations at any point in the rock medium surrounding and overlying an orebody are determined, in part, by the nature and magnitude of the displacements induced by 348
