Choosing the method of excavating vein reserves and mineralized zones on the basis of simulation modeling

Abstract

For the effective involvement of off-balance ores into development, a simulation modeling of gross and selective mining variants at "Kochkar" deposit reserves has been carried out by the Monte Carlo method, provided that a new type of geological resource - mineralized rocks has been involved in mining, and an economic evaluation of competing options has been made.
