Determination of «mining unit» rational parameters for the opencast mining conditions of phosphorite ore deposits
A.Yu. Eroshev, S.I. FominThe block model of the deposit makes it possible to determine the optimal boundaries of the quarry and the parameters of the mining units. The article discusses methods for calculating losses and clogging during open-pit mining of phosphorites for the effective design of mining operations.
Modern methods of fastening mining workings
S.S. SargsyanThe problems of deep underground ore mining in extreme conditions are considered. The world experience in strengthening rock masses and securing mine workings is analyzed. The transition to active anchor-shotcrete systems, new composites and intelligent monitoring for reliable mining is justified.

Yuri V. Dmitrak, Natalya A. MiletenkoOn June 6, 2026, David Rodionovich Kaplunov, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor, Doctor of Technical Sciences, passed away. A leading scientist in subsoil development, combined geotechnology, and mining systems design, his loss is profound for Russian science.
An acid-free method for increasing the oxidation-reduction potential of uranium in-situ leaching recycle solution
"R.А. Yusubaliev, Ye.S. Oryngozhin, M.K. Djexenov, Ye.Ye. Oryngozha, N.A. MiletenkoThe article presents an acid-free method for increasing the oxidation-reduction potential of uranium borehole leaching recycled solutions using ultrasound and the results of laboratory experiments confirming the high efficiency of the developed method.
Study of scale effect under uniaxial compression of rocks using the finite-discrete element method in the «PROROCK 2.0» software
A.K. Kirsanov, A.S. Tkachenko, S.A. BogomolovThe results of numerical modeling of the study of the scale effect during uniaxial compression of homogeneous rocks using the specialized software package PROROCK 2.0, which implements the finite-discrete element method, are presented.
Parameters for degassing outburst-prone seams using hydraulic fracturing
N.Yu. TroshkovParameters for degassing outburst-prone seams using hydraulic fracturing are determined. It is proposed that the distance between seam drainage boreholes be determined based on the condition of reducing gas content to safe emission limits and taking into account the filtration properties of the coal
Assessment of gas-dynamic hazard of coal seams depending on the heterogeneity of coal microstructure
I. N. GorshenkovAn approach to additional assessment of the gas-dynamic hazard of coal seams is proposed, based on a quantitative description of the heterogeneity of the microstructure of coal and its comparison with the methane content of coal.
Study of changes in the morphology of the oxidized surface of sulfide ore during its ultrasonic treatment
A.A. Avreitsevich, V.A. IodisChanges in the morphology of the surface of sulfide ore oxidized under atmospheric conditions after ultrasonic exposure have been studied. Studies of changes in the surface morphology of polished sections confirmed that ultrasonic treatment causes the removal of passivating films.
Methodology for digital modeling of transient rock mass failure processes
S.S. Kubrin, I.E. ShipovskiiA methodology for digital modeling of transient processes of destruction of a rock mass is proposed, aimed at describing not only the achievement of the limit state, but also the subsequent spatiotemporal kinetics of localization, fragmentation and transfer of the destroyed mass.
