Classification of stripping methods and systems of development of open pit fields
Abstract
Two methods of development of mineral deposits - underground and open (surface) - are constantly improving and competing with each other. Recently, there is a tendency to isolate the third method of development - underwater. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the most developed is the open pit method of development, and in the following decades, the area of its application will continuously expand. In this connection both theory and practice of open pit operations have been improved and the most complete and accurate classifications of those methods, which are created for surface development of deposits, are more and more urgently required. This article attempts to improve the classifications of stripping methods and development systems by utilizing all, in our opinion, the most valuable information given by other researchers, and some of the author's suggestions.
