Introduction
The relative merits of surface and underground mining are widely and frequently debated.
- Some deposits can be mined entirely with surface methods,
- Others can only be worked underground.
- Finally, other deposits are best mined initially as open pits, with production shifting to an underground method as deeper portions of the ore body are extracted.
Underground mine development begins with the positive investment decision to mine and ends with inception of full-scale exploitation. It incorporates all activities, personnel, and equipment required for creation of underground access to a mineral deposit.
Introduction
Occupational health and safety encompasses the social, mental and physical well-being of workers in all occupations. Poor working conditions have the potential to affect a worker's health and safety. Unhealthy or unsafe working conditions can be found anywhere, whether the workplace is indoors or outdoors.
Introduction
This module describes the skills and
knowledge required in mineral processing. This module is intended to student’s
perusing diploma in mining Technology TVET Level VI. The ore from the mines is
normally mixed with gangue which must be processed to produce mineral
concentrates of an economic value. This module will equip learners with
adequate knowledge and skills to equip them with competences of value addition
of the run-off ore mine through modern mineral processing technologies.
This
module describes the skills and knowledge required to perform mine blasting
operation. This module is intended to students pursuing
diploma in Mining Technology TVET level VI.The learner will be able to prepare the blast
holes, to perform explosives hole loading, to perform Firing a shot, to
effective check of the blast, Prepare Mining operation technical reports. He/she will be also able to select and arrange
different materials, equipment and tools used when performing mine blasting.
Purpose statement
This module describes the skills and knowledge required to Install Mine Ventilation System.This module is intended to students persuing Diploma in Mining Technology TVETLEVEL VI.At the end of this module students will be abe to identify the mine Aerosols, Determine the negative impacts of mine aerosols to the human body, Control and monitoring of mine aerosols, Control of other ventilation hazards, install auxiliary ventilation systems and Prepare Mining operation technical reports. It is an obligation for each employee to participate in the management of their own health and safety and that of their colleagues and anyone else in the workplace. They have a duty to cooperate with their employer's initiatives to ensure safety at work.
