How to Calculate Earth Work Cut & Fill Volume. With Cross Sections

Cut and fill mining is an underground mining technique used to extract ore from steeply dipping or irregular ore bodies. It involves sequentially mining horizontal slices of ore from the bottom upward. Each slice, or cut, is removed, and the void created is then backfilled with waste material or tailings to provide support for the next cut. This process is repeated layer by layer until the entire ore body is extracted. Cut and fill mining is advantageous for its ability to adapt to variable ore

📝 Tip of The Month | Creating Drifts for Cut and Fill Mining Method The back and fill mining method is one of the most selective underground mining methods. It is highly selective and profitable, especially implemented when it comes to vertical veins that change constantly in direction. With Promine you will quickly create 3D models with the information that was surveyed and easily calculate volume, tonnage, overbreak’s, create sections, calculate the amount of ore mined, and more. ____________
