Reconstruction of the northwestern slope of the open pit South Mining District Majdanpek for the purpose of reconstruction the active landslide
Abstract
The exploitation of copper ore in the Majdanpek Copper Mine takes place at the open pit South Mining District. The operation takes place in the complex conditions, and a special feature is that the capital infrastructure facilities: the state road M24, 35 kV transmission line and ri-verbed of the Mali Pek River are located in the northwestern contour of the open pit. Due to the occurrence of landslide in this part of the open pit, the continuity of the ore exploitation process in the mining system of excavation-processing was endangered, as well as the stability of infrastructure facilities. Reconstruction of the northwestern slope of the open pit will eliminate all existing and potential risks and create the conditions for functioning of the mine and town of Majdanpek.
