The Mining Process. Gold at Macraes is known as 'refractory ore', which means it is ultra-fine and resistant to the typical cyanide leach process. The mining process at Macraes is circular and follows a cycle of exploration, mining, processing and rehabilitation and closure. With a 30-year history of development spanning fluctuating gold ...

The Fumani gold mine is situated at the north-eastern end of the Giyani greenstone belt in the nose of a refolded regional fold structure that plunges northwest. Mining operations started in 1934 as the Giant Reefs gold mine and following a regional exploration programme by Klein Letaba Mining Company, production continued until 1963.
This is due to the fact that optimization in underground mine planning is far more complex than open pit optimization. Optimization in underground mine planning has been executed in four broad areas, namely: development layouts, stope envelopes, production scheduling, and equipment selection and utilization.
· A number of gold-bearing reefs have been exploited over the past 135 years at various locations within the Basin. South Deep reefs South Deep currently exploits the Upper Elsburg Reefs, the youngest of the Wits reefs within the Central Rand Group and located at an average depth of 2,700m below surface.

· These buried ancient river courses bearing gold were called leads. The first gold found in Ballarat was alluvial gold found in the Yarrowee Creek. Miners then began digging to uncover the buried leads. By the 1860's miners were mining the quartz reefs to extract the gold. In the early days of alluvial lead mining, the miner's had no way of ...

Continuity Risk in Narrow Reef Gold Deposits - Implications for Evaluation and Exploitation Narrow reef gold deposits are generally less than 4 m in width and relatively complex …
Mine planning involves both mine design and scheduling of mining activities. The goal of mine design is to create a mine that will allow exploitation of the reserve in a safe, economic, and environmentally responsible manner. This design will reflect the unique characteristics of the deposit, anticipated market for the product, and the profit ...
· a gold mine might treat 100kt/M of ore and produce 900kg of gold; a copper mine might mine 10Mt/A of ore and produce 108kt/A of cathode copper. Media reports often get this wrong and will say, for example, that a platinum mine has reserves of 100Mt of platinum group metals, when in fact it has reserves of 100Mt of ore at a grade of, …

· During 1994, a 3-D seismic reflection survey was undertaken at Vaal Reefs No. 10 shaft with the objective of mapping the detailed structure of the Ventersdorp contact reef gold orebody. This would provide vital input into future mine planning and development. The survey benefitted from 10 years of 2-D seismic experience and one previous 3-D mine …
The legend of Lasseter's lost gold reef is one of Australia's most famous and talked about legends. Harold Lasseter claimed to have discovered a rich reef of gold in Central Australia with gold "as thick as plums in a pudding". Lasseter's story was that he stumbled on a quartz gold reef seven miles long, four to seven feet high, and ...
Mine planning plays an important role in the mine value chain as operations are measured against planned targets in order to evaluate operational performance. An optimized mine plan is expected to be sufficiently robust to ensure that actual outcomes are close or equal to planned targets, provided that variances due to poor performance are minimal.

Planned mining schedule for the mine blocks, for example, by year. The objective of the analysis is the distribution of the metallurgical test data across the blocks in the mine plan, assigning each block (and each mining period) an estimated metallurgical parameter value (e.g., BWi), and a precision of each estimate. A suitable method involves:
