Opencast Mining of Non-cohesive Rocks

The students will gain the knowledge of exploitation of non-coherent mineral
utility raw materials in non-metalliferous areas, using open cast mining in
quarries, and sand- and gravel-pits, concentrating on loosening, hauling and
transport, dumping of overburden, and selecting the method of mining, namely
dry and/or wet mining method in shelf and pit quarries.
