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 wesitena somatshini wezitena zesamente ulula kakhulu. Ingumatshini owenza izinto eziluhlaza ngoxinzelelo oluthile oluvela kwisixhobo somatshini womatshini wezitena zesamente. Ngaba iintsila kunye nenkunkuma yokwakha ekhankanywe ngoku inokusetyenziselwa ukwenza izitena? Logama nje ezi zixhobo zikwazi ukufikelela kwisalathiso, zikwimeko efileyo, Kwimeko yokubanda kakhulu kunye nobushushu obuphezulu, ezi zixhobo aziyi kujongana neekhemikhali ukuze zitshintshe isakhiwo kunye nokumila kwazo.

Ngesiseko esi ngasentla, kukho iimfuno ezininzi zezinto eziza kucinezelwa ngumatshini wezitena zesamente: okokuqala, inkunkuma yokwakha ii-tailings kufuneka ibe nemilo yamasuntswana ukuze idlale indima ye-skeleton kwisitena, emva koko amasuntswana amahle ukuba adlale indima yokuzaliswa kuyo, kwaye emva koko i-samente idibanise 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.
