Abstract:

Mining methods are the systematic approaches defining how to carry out the production in a mine. Among the several methods available, choosing the right method is of prime importance for economy, safety and increasing productivity. The difficulty of the selection arises from some basic facts. An obvious one is the absence of a specific formulation for selecting a mining method. Each orebody is unique with its own specifications. Engineering judgment has a great effect on the decisions in such a versatile work like mining. This paper is divided into two sections. The first section provides an overview of the qualitative mining method selection such as Nicolas and UBS. The second section introduces an application of the Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making based on the Yager's model. Finally after comparing the results, the open pit mining and sublevel stoping methods are selected for this anomaly.
