Quarry and plant wastes differ in their characteristics A detailed classification of stone waste was presented by Karaca et al 2012 They visited more than 50 quarries and 20 plants to classify waste Table 3 Quarry wastes are stone fragments with no importance They can be further divided into solid rice and dust
The 300 feet contour covers approximately 40% of the aerial extent of the QL The elevation at the Mazaruni river bank is less than 50 feet The overburden in this area is usually less than 40 feet This leaves approximately 200 feet of rock standing above the level of the river bank which can be easily extracted

Some are plain thick slabs; some are fragmented with substantial interstitial impurities The first step is to drill holes fill them with appropriate explosives and blast them so as to loosen the rock Loosened rock is collected by shovels and loaded into dumpers In manual mining stone only up to 300 mm in size is loaded into trucks / wagons
Image Source Wire sawing is an advanced stone extraction technique that employs a diamond coated wire to cut through hard rock with remarkable precision Unlike traditional cutting methods wire sawing offers a high level of control over the cutting process enabling quarry operators to extract large stone blocks with smooth clean edges

Open pit mining method is one of the surface mining methods that has a traditional cone shaped excavation and is usually employed to exploit a near surface nonselective and low grade zones deposits It often results in high productivity and requires large capital investments low operating costs and good safety conditions The main topics that will
Quarries where mechanical extraction and processing for rock products including aggregates and ornamental stone occur are integral for infrastructure projects worldwide To identify significant environmental aspects that should be considered in comprehensive environmental assessment for quarry stakeholders a systematic literature
Overburden is the layer of soil or rock that covers a desired mineral deposit such as coal ore or stone that is located underground or on the surface It is also referred to as waste or spoil Overburden must be removed before mining or quarrying can begin as it impedes access to the valuable mineral resources Some European quarries

The weight of rock is usually expressed in tons per yd 3 which for the usual quarry rocks is two tons per yd 3 so that weight of rock broken per hole is N = B x S x D x 2/27 tons Dividing the weight of the rock by the blasting ratio gives the amount
