USE OF ECONOMIC INDICATORS IN METHODOLOGY OF MEDIUM- TERM PLANNING OF MOUNTAIN WORKS IN THE MICROMINE MINING-GEOLOGICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM

Abstract

The use of mining and geology information system is becoming more common in modern mining companies; therefore, the competent use of the functionality of software packages and development of  appropriated methodologies is a very important and urgent problem.  In this paper described method of middle-term planning in mining and geology information system Micromine for underground mining on an example of copper ore deposit with pillar- and-room system. Particular attention was paid to the consideration  of economic indicators in determining the sequence of mining. A list  of the necessary data for the implementation of this methodologies  in the scheduling of underground mining in the software product  Micromine is presented. Using of this method allow on planning stage to determine main technical and economic indicators,  as well as to estimate efficiency of selected direction of  mining. In this paper is provided example of reports and illustrations  of results of working of this method in mining and geology information system Micromine.
