METHODS OF GEOINFORMATION MODELING IN SOLVING PROBLEMS OF INTEGRATED USE OF MINERAL RESOURCES

Abstract

Deterioration of mining and geological conditions of mining, stricter requirements for the content of useful and harmful components, for purity of products obtained from mineral raw materials, reduces the efficiency of mining. To increase the economic efficiency of mining production, it is necessary to have a clear understanding of the spatial distribution of natural types and varieties of minerals. The article presents a technique of geoinformation modeling, which makes it possible to identify technological types and natural varieties of minerals in order to increase the efficiency of extracting valuable components and to more integrated use of the subsoil. The methodology bases on the analysis of detailed exploration data and on frame and block modeling. After receiving the models, the software processing of the constructed models takes place, which allows identifying the predominant type of ore on the site. The proposed methodology intends for automated planning of mining operations in the mode of raw material quality management and allows determining the predominant technological variety or natural type in certain areas of the studied deposit.
