Course Outcomes (COs)
After completion of the course student will be able to:
- CO1Analyze and Compare Underground Stoping Methods: Critically compare and contrast various bulk mining methods, such as blast hole stoping, sub-level open stoping, sub-level caving, and block caving, understanding their applicability, advantages, and limitations for different ore body geometries and depths.
- CO2Design Support-Intensive Mining Systems: Design and explain the principles behind support-intensive stoping methods including cut and fill, square-set stoping, post pillar, shrinkage, and sub-level top slicing, recognizing their suitability for specific ore types (e.g., manganese) and ground conditions.
- CO3Evaluate Specialized Mining Techniques: Understand the application of leaching techniques in ore mining and identify specialized stoping methods used for gold deposits at greater depths.
- CO4Address Challenges of Deep Mining: Identify and articulate the unique problems and challenges associated with mining at greater depths, including rock mechanics issues, heat, and logistics.
- CO5Apply Design Principles to Underground Layouts: Apply design principles to create conceptual layouts for complex underground mining systems, specifically for block caving and sub-level top slicing.
