| Abstract: |
Block caving method of mining requires more development work before the start of ore production than most other mining methods. This mining method implies to have high investment costs and these mining methods are quite inflexible. Initiating and sustaining the cave govern the early productivity and economics of the operation. The paper presents both the theory for loads estimation and results for Monte Carlo simulations for a block caving mine, taking into account the following variables: hydraulic radius of the cave; bulk density; horizontal-to-vertical stress ratio; friction angle at the cave walls.
