Newgold Block Caving video

[@puneetpuri2758]

probably one of the better videos explaining the drawbells (funnels) in the block caving

[@boxtruck.5014]

when drilling the lifters (bottom row of holes)are usually drilled out first to prevent the fines ( waste material from drilling) from blocking access to them, they are then fitted with "lifter tubes"so they are still accessible after the fines have piled up at the bottom.

Excellent, instructive video. Thanks! 3 years on, I imagine technology and graphics have evolved. Best I've seen so far, though.

[@israelduarte9993]

Me gusta el video Entendí un poco de minería.

[@MrHamidhalimi]

is there a survey mining here?

[@isee7668]

Talk about double-handling!

[@markanthony3275]

Split sets are illegal in Canada for use in the back...this must be a depiction of mining in other jurisdictions...where life is cheaper.

[@paulm1061]

Like Australia ?? Might depend on rock formation, depth underground ,geotech engineering

[@anvilhead59]

Split sets work fine. Been under them most of my career. They said a mine in BC.

[@omnianti0]

its so giant and so slow process i just wonder why they just not digged fron the top and how it will not colapse after a timeall this mega cave will not last long stable

[@anvilhead59]

It's called block caving because they cave the mine in on top of them, in blocks.

Well done

[@aaronkeeth651]

10-15 years establishing the infrastructure,then draw the ore body until depleted or subsidence becomes an issue.

[@josephhurdman5588]

This Block Caving looks way too complicated - just cut the roof off the hill & open cast the seams...

[@isee7668]

Life wasn't meant to be easy.
