Analysis of the Geomechanical Conditions at the Kalmakir Porphyry Copper Ore Deposit (Uzbekistan)

The parameters of the open-pit mining of the Almalyk deposit of porphyry copper ores of the Kalmakir open-cast are analyzed. Three-dimensional model of the quarry is constructed by means of modern geoinformation modeling method. Basic factors affecting the deformation processes of the rock mass are identified. The zones of potential deformations of the quarry-sides with the depth increase are determined, recommendations for effective deformation processes monitoring to provide safe mining operation process are developed © 2022 Institute of Physics Publishing.
