Quantifying effect of concurrent draw on extraction zones in in block caving mines using large scale 3D physical model

There remains a debate within the literature and among practitioners of caving methods as to the effect on draw zone geometry for the concurrent drawing of multiple drawpoints. Concurrent draw refers to an extraction schedule where a limited amount of material is drawn from each drawpoint before mov...
