Ngaba izitena zesamente, izitena ezenziwe ngoomatshini, iintsalela zezitena kunye nenkunkuma yokwakha zicinezela izitena? Xa kuziwa kule ngxaki, kufuneka siqale siqonde umgaqo womatshini wezitena zesamente. Umgaqo wezitena zomatshini we-samente ulula kakhulu. Ingumatshini owenza izinto eziluhlaza ngokunika uxinzelelo oluthile kwisixhobo somatshini womatshini wezitena zesamente. Ngaba iintsila kunye nenkunkuma yokwakha ekhankanywe ngoku inokusetyenziselwa ukwenza izitena? Ngethuba nje ezi zixhobo zikwazi ukufikelela kwisalathisi, zinokusetyenziswa, oko kukuthi, ezi zinto zikwimeko efileyo, Kwimeko yokubanda kakhulu kunye nobushushu obuphezulu, ezi zinto aziyi kujongana neekhemikhali kwaye zitshintshe isakhiwo kunye nokuma kwazo.

Ngesiseko esi ngasentla, izinto ezicinezelwe ngumatshini wezitena zesamente nazo zihlangabezana neemfuno ezininzi: okokuqala, inkunkuma yokwakha i-tailings kufuneka ibe nemilo yeengqungquthela, ezidlala indima ye-skeleton kwisitena, ngoko ke iinqununu ezintle zidlala indima yokuzaliswa kuyo, kwaye i-samente ibophelela la mathambo kunye nezinye izinto ezikulo. Ngelizwi, luhlobo lwekhonkrithi, Ukuba ezi mfuno zingentla zidibene, umatshini wezitena zesamente unokusetyenziselwa ukucinezela iimilo ezahlukeneyo zezitena zesamente okanye izitena ezinemibala eyahlukeneyo, izitena zokukhusela i-slope, izitena zokutyala ingca, izitena zekhonkco zokukhusela kwi-slope yendlela ephakamileyo kunye nezinye iimveliso zesamente.
