Characterisation of primary copper ore for block caving at the El Teniente mine, Chile

This thesis investigated the rock mass geotechnical behaviour of primary copper ore at the El Teniente mine in Chile, which has been described as a massive and competent rock mass. The rock mass was characterised considering different structural data collection techniques and mapping scales. Modific...
