Ore Chute

    0.01 sec.
ore chute [′ȯr ‚shüt]
(mining engineering)
An inclined passage for the transfer of ore to a lower level.
Ore Chute 

a vertical or inclined mining excavation for transporting ore and other useful minerals by force of gravity. Hatch devices or feeders are installed in the lower portions of ore chutes for loading ore into hauling vessels or onto conveyors.

Depending on use and the length of service, a distinction is made between capital and block ore chutes. When raised deposits are mined by the opencut method, capital quarry ore chutes are used to transfer ore from the quarry to the loading sites in galleries. Underground capital ore chutes transport ore from one or several levels to the major haulage horizon.

Ashbaugh states: "The Bates offers the opportunity of recovery of the rich gold ores under favorable conditions, from a vein which has been thoroughly proven, but worked only near the surface, leaving a great area of ore body which has never been touched, and especially leaving available to our operations the mining of the rich chimney below Gregory Gulch, which unites the two ore chutes demonstrated in the Becker and Hunter shafts.
