Hanging Wall Mining

Delineation ore body is called the footwall.

Hanging wall mining. The yield element area on gsi 33 figure 4 a is wider. Hanging wall definition the underside of the wall rock overlying a vein or bed of ore. Cut and fill mining is a method of short hole mining used in steeply dipping or irregular ore zones in particular where the hanging wall limits the use of long hole methods. In fault block below is called the footwall.

The red color is 100 yield zone which means failure area. Mining terminology about hanging wall. The mass of rock overlying a mineral deposit in a mine. Cirques tarns u shaped valleys arêtes and horns.

Other articles where hanging wall is discussed. The ore is mined in horizontal or slightly inclined slices and then filled with waste rock sand or tailings. Existing 5 m 5 m height and width of stope geometry has a potential new design to increase production of gold due to variety of thick ore however serious shotcrete failures often occur in hanging wall decline. The fault strike is the direction of the line of intersection between the fault plane and earth s surface.

Cibaliung underground gold mine applies cut and fill mining method to optimize ore production and maintain underground stability. The overlying block of a fault having an inclined fault plane. The hanging wall occurs above the fault plane and the footwall occurs below it. This situation however is generally found only in cirques cut into flat plateaus.

This video is unavailable. The dip of a fault plane is its angle of inclination measured from the horizontal. The two sides of a non vertical fault are known as the hanging wall and footwall. Figure 4 shows the percentage of yield element.

Dip of ore body is 80 and the thickness are varies between 5 m to 15 m. Hanging wall and footwall. In an ideal cirque the headwall is semicircular in plan view. More common are headwalls angular in map view due to irregularities in height along.

This terminology comes from mining. This is a reason to analyze the stope geometry impact on hanging wall decline failure. And hanging wall decline.
