Abstract
Relevance. End-to-end optimization of the mining enterprise's multi-element transport system, taking into account the specified stability and quality of the ore flow from the face to the finished product (enriched ore), will increase its overall efficiency, as well as provide reserves to increase the completeness of a deposit development due to the released economic resources. Such a paradigm requires, among other things, careful consideration of the choice and strategy of using in-pit transport. One of the options for mainline in-pit transport in the development of deep-lying deposits with limited dimensions (for example, diamond ore, gold ore, etc.) is a quarry inclined rope lifting unit (QIRL), characterized by the small size of the loading area, a high angle of inclination of the lift to the horizon, which allows it to be placed at the shortest distance to the surface, as well as a significant saving operational costs. Modern technology makes it possible to provide the QIRL with a lifting capacity of up to 240 tons, based on both the skip and the lifting of the dump truck with the specified load. However, the use of QIRL is limited due to its features, which impose restrictions on mining operations. Results. The article considers the development of a rational strategy for the deposit development using combined transport: assembly vehicles with the QIRL. The parameters characteristic of diamond ore and some powerful deep-lying gold deposits are accepted as mining and geological conditions. The research was carried out on the basis of a mining and geometric analysis of mining reduction options followed by an integrated technical and economic assessment. A development option using motor transport was adopted as the basic one.
