BASIC MEASURES TO ENSURE SAFE MINING OPERATIONS AT THE ZHOMART MINE

https://doi.org/10.48498/minmag.2023.2017.5.003

The implementation of the technology risk management system is one of the basic measures to ensure the safe mining operations at the underground mines. The operating Zhomart underground mine has been studied as a pilot facility to research, implement and test the efficiency of the proposed technology risk management system. Thus, the research and implementation of the technology risk management system is required due to the deep occurrence, the detailed exploration of the physical and mechanical properties of rocks of the ore-bearing strata and the geomechanical processes during the mining operations. This exploration has assessed the existing high technology risks, in particular, the loss of the roof stability and signs of deterioration in the mined-out area such as spalling, distortion bending and displacement of the sides of drilled wells in the pillars, etc. The general regulations of the safe mining operations focused on reducing of the rock pressure have been explored and determined during the dynamic forms of rock pressure. The main actions aimed to the technology improvement of the safe mining operations at the mine have been developed.
