Mining Techniques. Mining techniques can be divided into two common excavation types: surface mining and sub-surface (underground) mining. Today, surface mining is much more common, and produces, for example, 85% of minerals (excluding petroleum and natural gas) in the United States, including 98% of metallic ores.

This is an efficient method to extract the large volumes required to mine the thick Elsburg reef package. The method can be described as a fan drilled radially from the stope access drives, with hole lengths designed so that the resulting area for excavation takes on the shape of a block. Multiples of these fans, or rings, are then drilled and ...
