Glossary
- Ore grade
- The concentration of the target metal or mineral in ore, often expressed as grams per tonne for gold or percent for base metals. Grade affects cut-off decisions, processing route and project economics.
- Open-pit mining
- A surface mining method that removes overburden to access ore from progressively deeper benches. It is used for large, near-surface deposits and relies on drilling, blasting, loading and haulage fleets.
- Underground mining
- Extraction of ore from below surface through shafts, declines, stopes or room-and-pillar workings. It requires ventilation, ground support, dewatering and specialized loading and haulage equipment.
- Comminution
- The crushing and grinding stages that reduce ore size before concentration. Comminution is energy-intensive and strongly influences throughput and recovery.
- Flotation
- A mineral processing method that separates valuable minerals from gangue by attaching them to bubbles in a conditioned pulp. It is common for copper, lead, zinc and other sulfide ores.
- Leaching
- Dissolving target metals from ore or concentrate using chemical solutions. Leaching may be applied in heaps, tanks or in situ, depending on ore type and project design.
- Hydrometallurgy
- Metal recovery using aqueous chemistry, including leaching, solvent extraction, ion exchange and electrowinning. It is often used for copper, gold, uranium and battery-metal projects.
- Tailings
- The fine waste material left after valuable minerals are extracted from ore. Tailings are stored in engineered facilities and require water management, stability monitoring and closure planning.
- Waste rock
- Rock mined that contains no economic mineral value and is moved to dumps or used for construction. Waste-rock handling affects stripping ratios, haulage costs and mine planning.
- Stripping ratio
- The ratio of waste material removed to ore mined in an open-pit operation. A higher ratio generally means more material must be moved per unit of ore.
- Geometallurgy
- The study of how ore geology, mineralogy and texture affect processing performance. It links resource models to throughput, recovery and reagent consumption.
- Mine dewatering
- Removing water from an open pit or underground workings to keep operations safe and stable. It uses pumps, sumps, pipelines and water-treatment systems.
- Mine ventilation
- Controlled airflow through underground workings to supply fresh air, remove contaminants and manage temperature. It is a core safety and productivity system in underground mines.
- EPCM
- Engineering, procurement and construction management. An EPCM contractor manages project delivery for a mine owner rather than taking full construction risk as an EPC contractor.
- Cut-off grade
- The minimum grade used to classify material as ore under a stated set of economic assumptions. It changes with metal prices, costs and processing recovery.
