Read More8.2.3.1 Open pit mining. Open pit mining refers to mining directly on the ground surface, thereby producing an open pit. This method is practical and cost-effective when the uranium ore is located near the surface (e.g., within 100 m). Underground mining and ISL methods may be considered for sites that have uranium ores at deeper depths.

Read More2016-8-19 Haulage costs in mining operation are significantly raised with the increase in the diesel prices. Therefore, the movable plans, such as the mobile and semi-mobile haulage system, are the alternatives to replace trucks and reduce haulage costs. Regarding the various criteria used in the selection of the suitable haulage alternatives, a multi-criteria decision-making problem can be
