Integrated underground mining and pre-concentration systems; a critical review of technical concepts and developments

Farzad Sotoudeh et al.

Summary: This paper discusses the challenges of lower feed grades in the mining industry and the use of pre-concentration technologies to increase feed grades. It highlights the benefits of pre-concentration in underground mining through the rejection and disposal of waste and low-grade materials. The paper also reviews past studies on underground pre-concentration and provides recommendations for future research.

A novel cut-off grade method for increasing the sustainability of underground metalliferous mining operations

Farzad Sotoudeh et al.

Summary: Determining a cut-off grade is crucial in mining operations due to its role in separating waste material from valuable ore, especially with lower grades in an uncertain market. Implementing pre-concentration systems before main processing can increase sustainability and resource utilization, potentially leading to a reduction in mine cut-off grade. The integration of pre-concentration systems and a novel method for calculating underground cut-off grade are shown to improve profitability, efficiency, and sustainability in underground operations.
