Here is a book that actually fills the gap between theory and application. Mining engineering students studying mine design and needing guidance in assembling a mine-design project will refer to this book over and over again. It is useful for industry professionals who require a mine-design reference book for daily use or, who wish to prepare for the professional engineers' examination. 
Chapters include: Introduction, Mine Preplanning, Ventilation, Strata Control, Pumping and Drainage, Power Systems, Hoisting Systems, Rail and Belt Haulage Systems, Rubber-Tired Haulage Systems, and Surface Extraction. 
It is fully indexed.

RETC Proceedings 1987 Every two years, industry leaders and practitioners from around the world gather at the Rapid Excavation and Tunneling Conference (RETC), the authoritative program for the tunneling profession, to learn about the most recent advances and breakthroughs in this unique field. Tunnels are getting larger, deeper, and excavated in more challenging conditions. The expectation for the industry is to successfully complete these projects while meeting the other heavy construction challenges of sustaining quality, schedule, performance, and safety.

You won't find a better basic reference on the technology of precious metal heap leaching. Whether you're a regulator, consulting engineer, investor, mining company employee, or simply interested in obtaining a fundamental knowledge of precious metal heap leaching, this is the book for you. Although intended to be an introduction, the book includes some fairly technical material--essential in providing even a general basis for understanding the technology involved and its useful application. 
The book is divided into three major parts: 
 Overview--Predevelopment Aspects of Heap Leaching Design--Elemental Development of Heap Leaching Beyond Design--Considerations Critical to Project Success. 
It also includes a bibliography of references directly related to the gold heap leaching process and a complete index.

The SME all-time bestseller 2-volume set is a classic. This comprehensive reference work distills the entire body of knowledge that characterizes mining engineering as a disciplinary field. While it may serve as a textbook for advanced students, its primary function is to provide professional practitioners with an authoritative reference and design source. To a lesser extent, the book also serves mining nonprofessionals who seek technical knowledge of the industry.
The books devote attention to all branches of mining--metal, coal, and nonmetal--and to all locales of mining--surface, underground, and hybrid. Although the main emphasis is US mining, numerous references are made to international practice.
More than 250 experts contributed to this text. The books contain 25 sections followed by a complete index.
