Resumen
SKAWINA, B.; GREBERG, J.; SALAMA, A. y GUSTAFSON, A.. The effects of orepass loss on loading, hauling, and dumping operations and production rates in a sublevel caving mine. J. S. Afr. Inst. Min. Metall. [online]. 2018, vol.118, n.4, pp.409-418. ISSN 2411-9717. http://dx.doi.org/10.17159/2411-9717/2018/v118n4a11.
Orepass failure is a well-known problem in deep mines, and the risk of losing an orepass is associated with severe production disturbances. In the near future, one possible scenario in the Loussavaara Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag (LKAB) Malmberget mine is to concentrate the mining operation in fewer, but larger, production areas. In this paper we evaluate the effects of orepass loss on loading, hauling, and dumping operations and production rates using discrete event simulation, by simulating part of the Malmberget mine loading and hauling system under different environmental and operational constraints.
