A Method to characterize risk associated with mine roof conditions
"Assess the technical feasbility of mining small and/or deeply buried frozenplacer deposits from the surface through boreholes. Placer deposits in permafrost often contain up to 15% cobbles and boulders. Because of erratic loading on the bit caused by elasticity and heterogeneity of the ice-and...
