There were many shortcomings with the initial design of the stripping and mining method in Xiaoyi Bauxite Mine. Those shortcomings had led to long distance of transportation of stripped overburden, greater grading of transportation road, insufficient space for external dumping and immature conditions for internal dumping. In light of these shortcomings, the initial design were intensively and extensively modified. The originally planned overall zonal stripping and the zonal sequential dumping system was modified. A rational zoning and breakthrough oriented stripping and mining system was adopted. Forced stripping and mining were carried out in areas where exert greater influences on transportation distance, grade, and internal dumping progress were expected. As a result, the existent shortcomings are completely eliminated and remarkable economic benefits have been achieved.
