Description:
Mining of narrow vein mineralisation, invariably depending on the mining method selected, involves the extraction of both ore and waste rock. The level to which mining of waste rock can be minimised depends on numerous factors, but patticularly the thickness and dip of the deposit. Resue mining is a method of mining that allows spl it face firing within stopes to allow waste and ore to be mined separately, allowing dilution to be minimised. This paper examines the technique of resue firing and its applicabil ity to the mi ning of narrow vein deposits. Panicular emphasis is placed on the conditions in which resue mi ning presents a suitable option for mining of narrow veins.
