- Abstract:
- The article discusses the experience of mine surveying support for underground mining of the Maiskoye gold-silver deposit (Magadan Region) using a room-and-pillar system with hardening backfilling of the worked-out space. The methods for determining the parameters of rooms and pillars, the system of mine surveying control of stockpile movement, and the calculation of ore loss and dilution indicators are presented. The geometric parameters of the mining system for various horizons from -40 to -340 m are substantiated. The efficiency of the applied technology was analyzed at a production capacity of 850 thousand tons of ore per year. The results of the study can be used in the design and operation of underground mines with similar mining and geological conditions.
