Abstract

The article discusses the issues of mining the reserves on the flanks of the Zhezkazgan deposit and the Annensky ore field, where the main ore production is concentrated, to a depth of 500 m in deposits with an angle of inclination from 15° to 35° and over, the study is aimed at providing a rationale for the technology of repeated ore extraction from rooms and pillars with field preparation in complicated mining and technical conditions of collapsed zones with a shift trough based on a ranking indicator. The set objectives were achieved by conducting theoretical and experimental studies on stages and a procedure for mining the reserves and repeated mining of the residual reserves from pillars, using methods for providing a rationale for geomechanical parameters and determining the value of minerals. The studies resulted in providing rational process flow charts of potential repeated mining of residual ore reserves from rooms and pillars with field preparation, and determining the order of inclusion at specific blocks under consideration, in a descending order: firstly, block 54, then blocks 22-23-24, blocks 15 and 15-15 south, in areas, where deposits are overlapped, and then block 7bis of the Annenskaya mine of the East Zhezkazgan Mine in complicated geotechnical conditions of collapsed zones with a shift trough. Based on technical and economic calculations, the extraction of ore reserves from pillars in these blocks is efficient and safe in case of repeated extraction of ores using the existing examples of the deposit in complicated mining, geological and technical conditions, when mineral resources are depleted. Such option of repeated ore extraction from rooms and pillars with field preparation in the collapsed zone with the shift trough may be used in various mining, geological and technical conditions of deposits.
