This report is part of the work done by Luleå University of Technology within the EU 7th framework project I2Mine, Innovative Technologies and Concepts for the Sustainable and Intelligent Deep Mine of the Future. The work is performed within work package 2 Novel mining and underground processing methods, subtask 2.1.1 Novel mining methods and processes for deep, steeply dipping orebodies. This subtask aims at identifying new conceptual methods and processes for mining of deep, steeply dipping orebodies. The literature review presented in this report is aiming at identifying haulage systems that might be applicable for the given conditions, and serves as input for the future work within subtask 2.1.1 which is carried out by the research subject Mining and Rock Engineering at LTU together with LKAB and Boliden from November 2011 to November 2015.
