Title: Extending life of mine : underground development
Abstract: Mining companies are increasingly faced with the operational challenges of safely and cost-effectively extracting their remaining product from depths in excess of 2 km beneath the surface, failing which, their only other option would be to close their mines. Similarly, open-pit operations reach a point where it is no longer cost-effective to mine in this fashion and alternative ore extraction methodologies need to be found in order to extract the remaining ore.
