Geophysical surveys of rock mass status of iron ore deposit with combined deep – opencast mining zone
Often in deposits developed by underground mining, the task is to control the state of the earth's surface within the mine field. And this problem is even more acute in the case of combined open-underground mining. The Goroblagodatskoe iron ore deposit has been developed by a combined method for more than 40 years. The article describes the methodology and results of applying the geophysical diagnostic method at a mining facility developed by a combined open-underground method - the spectral seismic profiling method (SSP). The application of this method is justified. This method has shown its sufficient efficiency in terms of time costs and sufficient reliability for local studies. The results of field and desk studies are obtained, an assessment of the nature of the object is given, which justifies the use of further measures for the safe development of the object.
