Description
Summary:The article presents data from theoretical and experimental studies related to the search for a solution to an urgent geotechnological problem - selective mining of standard quality ore, substandard and diluted ores, taking into account the peculiarities of their processing by heap leaching. For complex-structural large-scale ore deposits of the stockwork morphological-structural type, multilevel heterogeneity is typical. The morphology and structure of the objects of direct extraction - ore bodies within the production blocks - vary significantly. The expediency of selective mining and separate heap leaching (or heap oxidation and leaching) of gold and copper from conditioned ores of various geological and technological types and grades is justified. In addition, it is advisable to selectively extract and separately process by heap leaching or flux in a controlled manner before it off-balance and diluted ores, as well as mineralized overburden and tailings of high-grade ores.
