Review of the granite extraction practices at Seyani international company.

Katetegirwe, Matthias (Busitema University., 2017-05)

The mining industry has been key to the development of civilization. This is due the fact that development and' technology are highly articulated to infrastructure and because of the need for construction materials; stone ...
Assessing the mining safety standards of artisanal and small scale miners in Uganda :

Komuhendo, Martina (Busitema University., 2017-05)

Artisanal and small-scale mining in Uganda has been in existence as far back as pre-colonial era. The industry which is: mostly controlled by Ugandans is. highly unregulated pre 1987 (Hilson, 2001) with the exception of ...
Assessing the drilling and blasting parameters to minimize the impact of ground vibrations to the surrounding environment.

Kataza, Peter (Busitema University., 2017-05)

This report entails assessing the drilling and blasting parameters to minimize the impact of ground vibrations to the surrounding environment at Seyani. International Company Quarry in Buntaba village, Kyampisi sub county, ...
Design of an efficient atering system at Tibet Hima mining company.

Mukundane, Emmanuel (Busitema University., 2017-05)

Dewatering is one of the mine systems that aim to guarantee safe operating conditions underground through pumping volumes of water out of the mine. The objectives of the study were to estimate water inflows, to determine ...
Investigating the contamination of soils and water by cyanide and mercury in mining :

Ninyikyiriza, Willy (Busitema University., 2017-05)

Physico-chemical quality of ground and surface waters from Tiira mines and its environs was conducted between January, 2017 and April, 2017. This study was undertaken to determine whether physical, chemical and trace metal ...
