Description
Summary:The relevance of this work is to combine and generalize the experience of open pit and underground mining and the use of modern science-intensive technologies for the cost-effective development of diamondiferous mineral deposits in the Far North of Russia. The analysis carried out in this scientific article allows us to give an objective assessment of the mining industry development in the field of mining operations in diamondiferous mineral deposits and introduction of modern highly efficient technologies for deposits with difficult development conditions in permafrost zones. The main aim of the research is analysis of modern science-intensive technologies for the development of diamondiferous mineral deposits located in permafrost zones. Objects: vertical and subvertical diamondiferous ore bodies located in permafrost zones. Methods: evaluation and analysis of the experience of conducting open and underground mining, located in permafrost zones, synthesis and generalization of materials, sources and data that are in the public domain, as well as modern highly efficient science-intensive technologies for the development of diamondiferous mineral deposits in the climatic regions of the Far North. Results. This article identified the main problems that arise during the mining of kimberlite ore bodies located in permafrost zones. The authors presented and substantiated conclusions on the further effective use of optimal technological schemes for open and underground mining of kimberlite ore bodies, which allow ensuring high security in mining operations, additional economic efficiency and flexibility of production technology when mining kimberlite ore bodies in the Far North.
