Slope movements are expected at the Bingham Canyon Mine due to the challenging slope angles mined to minimise strip ratios and maximise ore recovery. Trigger action response plans (TARPs) are a critical aspect of managing these movements in a mining operation. An effective TARP must balance production while safely managing the risk of mining in areas of slope movement.

In geology, ‘rock’ may be defined as a natural aggregate of minerals (Whitten and Brooks, 1972), which is a very broad definition that encompasses all naturally-formed soil and rock as otherwise distinguished in engineering practice. In geotechnical engineering, the term ‘rock mechanics’ is usually confined to the stronger and lithified end of the spectrum – the state when the mineral grains have become bonded and cemented together over geological time.
