dc.description.abstract |
The two major precious metal ore deposits of South Africa, the Bushveld Complex (platinum) and the Witwatersrand Basin (gold), exhibit remarkable lateral continuity on a regional scale. Consequently, the geometry of the respective planar orebodies is relatively easy to predict ahead of mining development ends. However, on a local in-mine scale, the geometry of these orebodies is far less predictable due to the presence of disruptive geological features such as faults, rolls, terraces, potholes, iron-rich ultramafic pegmatite (IRUP) bodies and dykes. The occurrence of these features compromises mine planning, production and safety. This paper illustrates how the use of high-resolution geophysical techniques can provide valuable geological and rock engineering information ahead of mining, making mining operations safer and more cost-effective |

AB - The two major precious metal ore deposits of South Africa, the Bushveld Complex (platinum) and the Witwatersrand Basin (gold), exhibit remarkable lateral continuity on a regional scale. Consequently, the geometry of the respective planar orebodies is relatively easy to predict ahead of mining development ends. However, on a local in-mine scale, the geometry of these orebodies is far less predictable due to the presence of disruptive geological features such as faults, rolls, terraces, potholes, iron-rich ultramafic pegmatite (IRUP) bodies and dykes. The occurrence of these features compromises mine planning, production and safety.
