The universal method of deposit management programming in multi-pit lignite opencast mines. Part I Author: Z. Kasztelewicz
The aim of the study is to reveal the need for the methodology of deposit management in multi-pit
mines as well as to elaborate a method of strategic deposit management programming in such plants. The
issue is not widely recognized in the part concerning the methodology of prospective deposit management
programming in multi-pit mines.
A general model of the method described in the work determines the following sequence of solving
the research problems:
1. Elaboration of strategy for fuel-energy sector development.
2. Creation of a multi-pit mine model.
3. Determination of prospective deposits management sequence.
4. Adoption of the exploitation technology and fi nal providing the open cast mines with excavators
and stackers.
The elaborated method of deposit programming in multi-pit lignite mines is a new method applying
the newest tools used for solving decisive problems in opencast mining. The method includes additional
“mechanisms” which enable the fi nal product – long-term strategy of a multi-pit mine – optimization
considering numerous criteria and economic aspects, with a possibility of continuous updating of the
assumptions for research projects.
This universal method is characterized with high utilitarian values for a direct application in multi-pit
mines. The method has enabled the elaboration of the optimal version of long-term exploitation of prospective
deposits in “Konin” opencast lignite mine and can be applied in “Adamow” mine, newly designed
“Legnica” lignite mine and similar opencast mines exploiting other useful minerals all over the world.
