An introductory text and reference on mining engineering highlighting the latest in mining technology Introductory Mining Engineering outlines the role of the mining engineer throughout the life of a mine, including prospecting for the deposit, determining the site's value, developing the mine, extracting the mineral values, and reclaiming the land afterward. This Second Edition is written with a focus on sustainability-managing land to meet the economic and environmental needs of the present while enhancing its ability to also meet the needs of future generations. Coverage includes aboveground and underground methods of mining for a wide range of substances, including metals, nonmetals, and...
- provides a comprehensive yet concise overview of the practical aspects of mining engineering - covers real-world applications through (industry-oriented) case studies - features environment-oriented content that will have a wider appeal than just mining engineers - caters especially to Indian students and professionals
Written by a mineral engineer for mineral engineers, and packed with real world examples, this book de-mystifies the statistics that most of us learned at university and then forgot. It shows how simple statistical methods, most of them available in Excel, can be used to make good decisions in the face of experimental uncertainty. Written in accessible language, it explains how experimental uncertainty arises from the normal measurement errors and how statistics provides a powerful methodology to manage that uncertainty. It assumes only that the readers are numerate, can use Excel, and want to do a better professional job. It is aimed squarely at mineral engineers and allied professionals (such as chemists) on the mine site, in head office, in engineering and supply companies and in universities. Most of the examples are illustrated in Excel but Minitab is also used for advanced techniques. The book includes over 100 Excel and Minitab hints. Example spreadsheets can be downloaded from the JKMRC and JKTech websites.
