Open Cast Mining

Taking care of all your mining needs

Opencast mining operations involve huge quantities of overburden removal, dumping and backfilling in excavated areas.

Challenge

A substantial increase in the rate of accumulation of waste dumps in recent years has resulted in greater height of the dump for minimum ground cover area and also given rise to danger of dump failures. Further, steeper open-pit slopes are prone to failure.


These failures lead to loss of valuable human life and damage to mining machinery. There is a need for continuous monitoring of dump and pit slopes, as well as for providing early warning before the occurrence of slope failure. Different technologies have been developed for slope monitoring.


At Global Pacific Services we ensure that all your mining requirements are met, we will take care of all your machinery and transportation requirements, staffing requirements and geology reports to ensure that you mine are well managed and above all safe. 

Value

The open pit or open cast mining method is the obvious choice for a property with a wide area of mineralization exposed or existing close to the surface and continuing to greater depths. The open pit exposes the orebody from the surface by separate removal of ore and associated waste rocks. It is the most economic option for a deposit up to that depth where the economic ratio of ore and waste can be sustained.
