Evaluation of engineering solutions on integrated development of Elna magnesite deposit

Authors: Kantemirov V.D.

Integrated mineral mining is a priority area of advance in the mining art. The article considers mining scenarios for extraction of two and more types of minerals within the same open pit in terms of Elna magnesite deposit adjacent to Berdyaush granite massif. The engineering solutions are proposed for concurrent manufacture of marketable products from different minerals within the same quarry, namely, for extraction of magnesite for the production of refractory materials simultaneously with the production of granite blocks and cuboid crushed stone from granite rocks. The production volumes by types of mineral raw materials are determined, and the types of process equipment for the implementation of the production program are proposed. Technological problems arising in the joint extraction of magnesite and granite, and the related solutions toward improved efficiency of integrated mineral mining are considered. The regular patterns and specific features of drilling and blasting operations in joint quarrying of two mineral types are determined. The dependences of the permissible mass of a single explosive charge on the distance between the blasting block and the guarded rock mass are established. These dependences allow adjustment of blasting operations in the quarry with regard to protection of the solid granite massif from the impact of seismic blast wave and from induced fracturing.

Keywords: magnesite, granite, granite blocks, cuboid crushed stone, production volumes, quarry, integrated mining, drilling and blasting operations, efficiency.
