News and information for geotechnical professionals and rock engineers working in the mining industry.
Draw control is a critical aspect of block cave mining operations and is necessary to avoid conditions of isolated draw, which may result in unnecessary waste ingress, compaction of ore and loss of ore reserves.
Kim Nesbitt, Associate Geotechnical Engineer at Cartledge Mining and Geotechnics, explores how draw control is pivotal in ensuring the efficiency, safety and viability of the large-scale underground mining process and the importance of accurate data in planning, monitoring and execution.
