What is a strip ratio?

Strip ratio is a term derived from the mining industry and is used in relation to the process of mining with open fall. The method of streaming ratio when calculating the profitability of the mining process is commonly used in the process of ore or coal mining. In relation to its application in ore mining, the usefulness of the stripping ratio of the approximate ratio of waste material, which must be moved to achieve a certain ratio of ore. As can be seen, when the ratio of undesirable material to be moved to achieve the required ore, it prevails over any red, which can be potentially extracted, then it can be concluded that the entry in terms of work, time and materials is far out of prevailing all the benefits that can be obtained from mining.

Stripping ratio is important because of the fact that it helps mining society to assess the mining place to detach a detailed in commitment to any resources to the mining processRoces. The way to describe the concept of streaming ratio is that we look at it at the level at which the mining process ceases to be profitable. For example, if the mining company has to extract one part of the ore to three and a half parts of waste to break even, it is possible that the company will try to look for mining sites where it can extract at least one part of the ore into two and a half parts to make a heavy enterprise. The waste in question includes debris, sand and various sizes of rocks that will be moved from their place to reach Ruda below.

Rudy extraction using the application of a strip ratio also takes into account the density of the material that must be moved to achieve ore and other factors that include material difficulty. For example, the light upper material can be Easier R to remove from its location, while the denser and heavier material could make it difficult, which will contribute to an increase in the streaming ratio in favor of the mining society. Another aspect that affects the ratio is the presence ofContaminants that could reduce the quality of the material extracted from the site, which means that more material must be extracted to meet the aim of profit.
