  • APPARATUS, SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MATERIAL EXTRACTION IN UNDERGROUND HARD ROCK MINING
    Publication number: 20160186566
    Abstract: A method of extracting materials from an underground mine comprises positioning a flexible conveyor train in a materials loading zone. The conveyor train may be loaded by, concurrently or intermittently, loading materials onto a loading end of the conveyor and activating the conveyor to move the materials downstream along the conveyor. The conveyor is deactivated when loaded and the conveyor train then transports the loaded conveyor to a materials unloading zone for unloading.
