The purpose work. Substantiation and selection of a safe and effective option of mining technology of the experimental block in the pilot industrial mining of the Skalistoe deposit. Method of research. Analysis and synthesis of project solutions, experience in mining inclined low-thickness ore bodies, economic and mathematical modeling and optimization of the parameters of options mining systems in the conditions of the experimental block. Results of research. As a result of research it was established: - the sublevel caving mining system with the parameters adopted in the project does not guarantee the completeness of the extraction of reserves and the effectiveness of mining operations. Project indicators of extraction by sublevel caving technology with frontal ore drawing are overestimated and difficult to achieve in these geological and technical conditions (combination of low thickness and angle of ore body); project scheme for the delivery and transportation of rock mass seems impractical due to the significant volume of heading workings and increased transportation costs; - eight technically rational options of various mining systems were constructed, most relevant to the geological and technical conditions of the deposit. Five variants of the sublevel chamber system and pillar caving, a project variant of sublevel caving technology with frontal ore drawing and two options flat-back cut-and-fill system were considered; - for mining the Skalistoe deposit, according to the results of economic and mathematical modeling, optimal by the criterion of profit per 1 ton of balance reserves of ore is a option of the technology of chamber extraction with dual chambers, frontal drawing of ore by remote-controlled load-haul-dump machine and subsequent pillars caving, as having the greatest profit; - the calculations justified stable spans of dual chambers (25.3 m) and the width of panel pillars (3 m). With an allowable span of 25.3 m, the roof of the dual chambers will be stable with a safety factor of 1.41, and a panel pillar with a width of 3 m has a sufficient margin of safety (more than 1.6) in the whole range of ore body thickness variation; - the proposed scheme of delivery and transportation of rock mass, which allows to reduce the volume of tunnel works by 26% and the average length of transportation by 10-15% compared with the project. Findings. Developed in the process of modernization the technology sublevel chamber system with double-chamber, compared with the project technology, it is possible to significantly increase the efficiency of mining of the low thickness deposit of rich ores Skalistoe by reducing the specific volume of preparatory-rifled work by 34%, the cost of mined ore by 12%, losses and ore dilution – by 2 and 2.9 times, respectively.

The Stability

Mining of a thick steeply dipping deposit using sublevel caving with end-face ore drawing in transition from open pit excavation to underground mining is considered in conditions of developed tectonics. The technology was justifed by mathematical modeling of the stress state of the rock mass using finite element method. Safe parameters of the mining system were determined by solving a variational problem with a variable degree of geomedium disturbance in the existing mining and engineering structure when depleting reserves at an advanced stoping stage. The predicted areas of stability losses for main structural elements of the mining system have been determined. Safe parameters of ore breaking and drawing were calculated using the stability condition of mine workings. Recommendations are given for the excavation of thick steeply dipping deposits under open pit mining.

Upward Mining

The study provides a geomechanical assessment of the man-induced transformation of the 1st block at the Kamaganskoye deposit when the mining system is changed to sub-level caving of the ore and host rocks with no possibility of changing the order of reserve extraction. The relevance of the research results from detailed exploration activities that revealed changes in the ore body boundaries and a decrease in the ore grades. The possibility of partial mining of blocks in ore bodies No. 16 and 17 using the ore and host rock caving system has been assessed and the possibility of retaining the upward mining sequence has been established. The sequence of room mining is defined taking into account the changes in the ore body boundaries. The paper presents the results of assessing the stability of the undermined masses of ore bodies No. 16 and 17, as well as the stress-andstrain state of the rock mass at the assumed sequence of room mining. The results of mathematical modeling of the rock mass stress-and-strain state during room mining using the ore and host rocks caving system proved the technical feasibility of this solution.

Murmansk Region

The Zhdanovskoe copper-nickel sulfide ores deposit is located in the north-west of the Murmansk region and is a mineral raw material source for JSC «Kola MMC». The main mining method used is sublevel caving. In some areas, due to the complex shape of the ore bodies, the open stoping mining method is used which requires determining stable parameters of stopes and pillars. It is necessary to study the stress-strain state of the deposit to ensure safe mining conditions. One of the possible solutions is the modeling of the stress-strain state of rock mass using the finite element method, for example, CAE Fidesys, which is FEMbased software. The use of CAE Fidesys for solving geomechanics tasks allows creating models of individual excavation units to determine the stability of stopes and pillars, and large-scale models that include several ore bodies and areas of the host rock mass. The article considers solutions of both types of geomechanic tasks using CAE Fidesys for conditions of the Zhdanovskoe deposit.

The Impact

The article describes the rock mass state within the boundaries of the Skalistiy mining allotment. The ore mass within the mine field was found to preserve its rock-bump hazard and show high mobility in the impact zone of the Norilsk-Kharaelakh Fault and the associated high failure potential manifested as roof cavings. Based on the monitoring results along underground profile lines, it was concluded that the displacement process is currently at its initial stage. Moreover, the maximum subsidence in the central part of the profile line is about 3 times higher (up to 35 mm) than in other areas. This is caused by immediate proximity of this zone to the Norilsk-Kharaelakh Fault. Assessment of the bump hazard level of this rock mass with the help of the Prognoz-2 instrument that was performed by the rock-bump forecasting and control teams of the mine and the Norilskshakhtstroy company, showed the 'Not Hazardous' category in all cases. However, the progress of mining operations towards the Norilsk-Kharaelakh Fault may lead to deterioration in the condition of mine workings. This can be manifested through rock exfoliation from the walls of the advance workings of the safety layer in highly and extremely faulted rocks. In addition, permanent workings, which are one of the most critical structures of the production level and which will be used until the development of the deposit area adjacent to the Norilsk-Kharaelakh Fault is completed, will be maintained in increasingly difficult conditions. The article describes recommendations for mining operations in the fault area with account for the current mining and geomechanical situation and the potential for its change.

Geological Conditions

The results of the scientific and research work devoted to modeling the stress-strain state of the mining system of an underground mine using the finite element method in the FLAC3D software are presented in the article. The possibility of using room-and-pillar mining with backfill with the abandonment of chain pillars is justified. The results are presented concerning the research results of the quantitative assessment of the mass using the von Mises equation and Norton' power law of creep to estimate the contour stress. It becomes possible to determine the sequence of mining of the deposit area and the stage-by-stage filling of the stopes at the stage of mining design due to the high accuracy of modeling the stress-strain state of the mass near mining operations using FLAC3D software. The proposed approach is possible when evaluating the geotechnical state of the rock mass when using the mining systems with various methods of support of the mined-out area: natural; artificial; with the collapse of ores and enclosing rocks, as well as when calculating the combined method of deposit development. A differentiated approach to assessing the state of the mass is possible considering difficult mining and geological conditions, conditions of increased rock pressure, abundant water influx, increased fracturing of rocks by introducing additional conditions into the model depending on its geotechnical state. Variant of the comprehensive exploitation of mineral resources was proposed considering the total value of natural and man-made geo-resources of the area being mined. The possibility of rational use of the mined-out space with the use of various positive qualities of geo-resources at their manmade transformation is also considered. An assessment of the mineral and raw materials potential of the mined area is given with a proposal for the prospects of increasing the integrated approach of excavation, increasing the life of the mining enterprise and the complexity of developing this area.

Seepage Channel

Mining disturbance will induce further weakening of faults and rock bridges, improve rock mass permeability and, in serious cases, conduct surface rivers to cause disasters. A numerical calculation model of river-fault in the mining area is established. Based on the fluid-solid coupling theory of rock mass, the influence of mining disturbance on the development and evolution process of rock bridge rupture and river-fault-stope potential seepage channel is simulated and calculated. Research studies show that under the disturbance of ore body mining, it is possible to form a channel from the river to fault to seepage and drainage in the stope. The disturbance of ore body mining has no great adverse effect on the stability of the rock mass at the top of F2 fault. The rock mass damage caused by mining is only distributed in local areas, and the rock bridge between the river, fault, and stope is not completely connected. The fracture of mining rock mass leads to the increase in permeability of rock mass, and seepage tends to spread in the direction of the fault, but there is no obvious through drainage channel from surface water to the stope. The results of research provide technical guidance for the mine to use the filling mining method after the river does not change the road safety and reliability certification and can also provide reference for similar mines.
