Relatively deep deposits, or those with elongated or irregular shapes are typically mined from underground with deep vertical shafts, declines (sloped tunnels) and levels (horizontal tunnels) (Figures 8.2.1 and 8.2.2). In this way it is possible to focus the mining on the orebody itself. In some cases, the near-surface part of an orebody is

May 31, 2022The laborious task of mining copper ore by hand made it difficult to obtain large quantities for production. During the Industrial Revolution, coal- and steam-powered machinery paved the way for a huge increase in copper production with mines smelting between 200 and 300 tons of copper ore per week. In this process copper is transferred
