Studying the Appropriate Underground Mining Methods in Sukari Gold Mine

Abstract

This paper represents an attempt to study mining methods and development in the area of underground mining in Sukari gold mine. Detailed mining and rock mechanics data had been collected from Sukari gold mine to select the appropriate mining method for underground area. Underground mining methods have been studied to show that the selected mining method in SUKARI gold mine is suitable for the geology of the ore body, and hence proposed mining method could be taken into account. A brief background about Sukari gold mine is given and the used mining method in Sukari gold mine has been approved. Some of the suitable mining methods are discussed according to selection method and the most appropriate one is listed. Mining method selection was done by UBC method and Hartman flow chart.
