Schemes of cleaning-up deep iron ore deposits using open pit mining method from mining-capital operations and land saving perspective are analyzed. It was established that the cleaning-up of border reserves with a pit side separation is expedient in the operation of shallow open pit mines. Cleaning-up of open pit mines with an increase in the resulting angle of slope of the side at the partial abandonment of transport communications is expedient at the transition stage from the auto truck-rail transport to the aut...

A dynamic method has been developed for optimizing reload horizon of a cyclic and continuous technology complex (CCTC) with a combined road-conveyor-rail type of transport for round open pit fields, providing a rational depth of rail transport installation together with economically viable horizons for the location of the concentration horizon and reload from steeply inclined conveyors into the inner mine railway transport. Mining in border and deep zones of open pit mines is conducted in constrained conditions. C...
