Block Caving Mining Method: Transformation and Its Potency in Indonesia

Abstract: The block caving mining method has become increasingly popular in the last two decades. Meanwhile, Indonesia has several potential ore bodies which have not yet determined suitable mining methods. The references to block caving mining projects worldwide and the potency of metal deposits in Indonesia were reviewed to determine the requirements of ore bodies suitable for mining using the transformed block caving method. This method can be applied on a blocky ore body with a thickness of 200–800 m, various rock m… Show more

“…Under suitable conditions, this approach can significantly reduce mining costs and activate mineral resources that are uneconomical and untapped due to their low grades [8][9][10]. This holds significant importance for reducing dependence on foreign mineral resources and ensuring the reliability of resource supply [11,12]. Rock masses refer to geological bodies composed of blocks of different lithologies and structural planes of various scales and types.…”

“…In different geological conditions, mining method selection is strictly controlled because different tectonic geological conditions influence the selection of different mining methods. Currently, the methods commonly used in mining are the stratified filling method, the sublevel caving method without the sill pillar, the room and pillar mining method, and the natural caving method [3][4][5]. Considering various needs, such as economy and safety production, there has also been extensive research on the optimization of structural parameters for different mining methods [6,7].…”
