OSTI ID:6725193
This paper reviews advances in the art of borehole (slurry) mining made by the Bureau of Mines from 1974 to 1980. The design of a prototype borehole-mining tool (BMT) developed by the Bureau of Mines is presented along with production data, reclamation data, and an application of the BMT to the mining of coal, uraniferous sandstone, oil sands, and phosphate ore.
