Tin mining in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province is conducted with an open-pit mining system. This paper discusses the process of tin mining and its effects on soil properties in this region. Tin mining led to the formation of accumulations in the form of (1) mixed soils from horizons A, B, and C, (2) excavated materials from the deeper levels of the pit, (3) coarse-grained tailings with quartz as a primary element, (4) tailings mixed with excavated soils, and (5) voids filled with water. After tin mining ended, the area was left with waste excavated materials, stockpiles of excavated materials or tailings, and voids, spread over an area of 124,838 ha. Overall, mining has led to significant and alarming damages to the biophysical aspects of land resources and the environment. This damage includes the deterioration of soil structure, changes in soil texture, loss of soil organic matter, and loss of soil fertility. The mining activities also caused the loss of a number of types of biota that are important to provide environmental services such as the provision of forest products, soil stability, maintaining the hydrological cycle, and carbon sequestration.

Abstract Gag Nikel Ltd belongs to a Contract of Work located in Gag Island, West Waigeo Islands District, Raja Ampat Regency, West Papua Province. The open pit mining system employed at this company will enter the mining location and therefore, requires a design of open channel for diversing water coming from rainfall, run off, and ground. The rainfall intensity calculated by Mononobe formula obtained 5,994 mm / hour, whereas the catchment area got 0.59 km 2. The total discharge of run off calculated by Rational Formula gained 1867,956 m 3 / hour. Meanwhile, the design of open channel calculated by Manning Formula yielded wet section (A) = 0.668 m 2, base width (b) = 0.714 m, and depth (h) = 0.714 m, surface width (B) = 1.542 m. Box control having the volume 1 m3, length = 1 m, width = 1 m, and height 1 m must be made every 1 kilometer of open channel length. Around the area of open channel, the used tire must be given to reduce the erosion rate flowing into settling pond. All of these are necessary because the open channel is located near the natural channel and we must also consider several regulations such as Presidential Decree and IPPKH adjusted to the technical study that has been designed.

The Almalyk deposit of porphyry copper ores (Kalmakyr quarry) here is the subject for exploration of the open-pit mining parameters. A three-dimensional model of the quarry is developed by the modern geoinformation modeling method basing on system analysis of mining and geological conditions and technical mining parameters of the Almalyk copper-porphyry ore deposit open-pit. Main factors influencing the deformation processes development in the rock mass are identified. The probable zones of deformations of the Kalmakyr quarry sides with an increase in its depth are determined. It is recommended to organize and carry out continuous comprehensive geomechanical monitoring to ensure the safe further exploration at the quarry. This measures allow to quickly determine the signs preceding the occurrence of emergency situations, take preventive steps to stabilize the geomechanical condition of considered mining system.

Abstract In the open-pit mining system that is being carried out by a company in the mining sector with gold and silver commodities, PT Citra Palu Minerals, land clearing can cause soil erosion which can lead to soil sedimentation, increased turbidity of water that will be released into the environment and potential entry soil eroded into the tailings pond at the Dry Tailing Management Facility (DTMF). Therefore, further action is needed to control erosion and sedimentation as well as water management so that the water to be released into the environment is following environmental quality standards that have been set by the government. Before determining and controlling erosion, it is necessary to know the rate of erosion that occurs at the research location, in this study the USLE (Universal Soil Loss Equation) method was used to predict the rate of erosion with the results obtained, namely 17.07 tonnes/ha on the North DTMF slopes and 21.04 tonnes/ha for DTMF South slopes. To reduce the rate of erosion, it is necessary to control erosion by revegetation of the land, create a water drainage system to the sedimentation pond and treat the collected water using biophytoremediation of land with the use of chemicals to accelerate the deposition process, constructed swamp forest to the latest sustainable technology recommended by the Indonesian Academy of Sciences (LIPI).

Mining of a thick steeply dipping deposit using sublevel caving with end-face ore drawing in transition from open pit excavation to underground mining is considered in conditions of developed tectonics. The technology was justifed by mathematical modeling of the stress state of the rock mass using finite element method. Safe parameters of the mining system were determined by solving a variational problem with a variable degree of geomedium disturbance in the existing mining and engineering structure when depleting reserves at an advanced stoping stage. The predicted areas of stability losses for main structural elements of the mining system have been determined. Safe parameters of ore breaking and drawing were calculated using the stability condition of mine workings. Recommendations are given for the excavation of thick steeply dipping deposits under open pit mining.

Many coal mines in Russia tend toward increasing their production output. Chernogorsky open pit mine, having expanded output by more than 30% for the last five years, is not exclusion. As output is increased whereas geological conditions complicate, technological parameters and production efficiency change. For example, in the open pit, percentage of overburden removal with direct dumping has greatly shrunk as against the truck-and-shovel system. In the meanwhile, the cost of stripping with the tuck-and-shovel system is much higher than in direct dumping by walking excavators. This article gives an analysis of technological parameters, open pit mining system parameters and stripping arrangement at the mine. The authors examine costs of stripping machinery maintenance and compare specific capacities of equipment in use. The modeling results on further increase in productivity of the open pit mine and in capacity of walking excavators are presented with the calculated optimized height of bench for stripping with direct dumping. The reserves available to increase stripping efficiency lie, in the authors’ opinion, in the system of resource allocation for equipment operability maintenance and personnel motivation.
