Rock slope stability is a very important research area for many geo-engineers concerned with civil or mining works. Slope stability of pits, roads, tailings dams and other embankments is very cardinal as it directly impacts on the working or utilisation of these facilities. The Nchanga Open Pit...

The objective of this research was to characterise the rockmass to determine appropriate support system for the decline with the 4.5m height and 4m wide in highly aquifer strata, recharging the water flow of 18, 000 cubic meters per day. As a result production targets reduced due to excessive...

In the Chisamba area, some lithologies hitherto mapped as quartzites and dolomitic marbles are quartz mylonites and interbanded calc-silicate, marble and amphibolites, respectively. Both meso-and microstructural fabrics in the Chisamba area indicate that deformation associated with shearing was...

This study is aimed at making an attempt to address the real problem that faces the Mining Industry today - Mine accidents. Apart from the academic obligations that had to be fulfilled in putting up this work together, the writer's passion to address this problem also emanates from his twelve...
