The mining and geometrical methodology for estimating of mineral deposits

Abstract

Abstract Ensuring the correct development of the deposit is a priority production task, which is based on a scientifically grounded assessment of the geometrical characteristics of the mineral deposit and a clear understanding of the nature and quantity of the deposit’s re-serves. Aim of the study is a geological and industrial assessment of a mineral deposit, which provides for the correct determination of the quantity and quality of explored reserves, requires the collection and processing of such material, which would be sufficient to draw up a technically correct and economically feasible project for the development of the deposit. The research methodology consists in mining and geometrical modeling and monitoring of subsoil based on progressive and classical methods and techniques for geometrization of the array of minerals and host rocks. This includes a set of measures aimed at collecting and evaluating the initial information, assessing its accuracy, mathematical processing and determining the optimal and most effective methods for solving the problem of geometrization of the field. The results allow us to practically solve the problems of mining operations related to the assessment of reserves of mineral deposits, their genesis, the nature of occurrence, quality, the possibility of sorting, forecasting and industrial development. An effective set of methods has been developed based on the statistical assessment of mineral deposits, as well as the use of the latest geoinformation systems, which provide the possibility of high-quality and accurate calculation and assessment of mineral deposits.
