Underground Mining of Kimberlite Pipes under Alluvia

  • Published:
Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The scheme is proposed for underground mining of kimberlite pipe under alluvia 80-100 m in thickness. The main features of the technology are the refusal to carry out filling operations and use ore vibration discharge ensuring its simultaneous flow over the pipe cross-section.
