Abstract: The global mining and metals industry faces a rapidly evolving landscape in 2024, marked by an unprecedented convergence of risks and opportunities. The sector is at the heart of the global energy transition, with rising demand for critical minerals such as lithium, nickel, and copper, essential for renewable energy technologies and elect...

The selection of the optimal equipment for discontinuous haulage systems is one of the most important decisions that need to be made when an open-pit mine is designed. There are a number of influencing factors, including natural (geological and environmental), technical, economic, and social. Some of them can be expressed numerically, in certain un...

This paper presents a model for determining the availability of continuous systems at open pits using the neuro-fuzzy system. The concept of availability is divided into partial indicators (synthetic indicators and sub-indicators). The presented model in relation to already existing models for determining availability uses a combination of the adva...

Waste management is an unavoidable technological operation in the process of raw material extraction. The main characteristic of this technological operation is the handling of large quantities of waste material, which can amount to several hundred million cubic metres. At the same time, this operation must comply with all administrative and enviro...

Mining is an industry that deals with different types of risks due to its nature and specificity. Uncertainty in mining can come from different sources and affect different aspects of mining projects. Geological uncertainty stands out as one of the dominant factors. Geological uncertainty plays a key role in mining and can significantly affect reso...

Waste management is an unavoidable technological operation in the process of raw material extraction. The main characteristic of this technological operation is the handling of large quantities of waste material, which can amount to several hundred million cubic metres. Working with this amount of material usually requires high-capacity systems for...

Definisanje dugoročne dinamike razvoja rudarskih radova koja je u potpunosti usaglašena sa strateškim ciljevima Investitora, veoma je zahtevan zadatak, koji vrlo često podrazumeva veliki broj ograničenja. Adekvatno definisana dinamika razvoja rudarskih radova treba da obezbedi dugoročne zahteve u pogledu kapaciteta, kvaliteta i raspodele resursa ne...

Definisanje optimalne završne konture površinskog kopa od suštinskog je značaja za ostvarivanje strateških ciljeva u razvoju rudarskih projekata. Savremeni programski paketi i metode za optimizaciju granica kopa, zasnivaju se na pronalasku završne konture koja obezbeđuje maksimalan profit. U slučaju površinskih kopova uglja, kod kojih osim profita...

The process of creating a geological block model as the basis for a further detailed design and planning of mining operations is a very responsible task. Errors made during this initial process are transferred to all other phases of the mining project. Certainly, one of the most important decisions for the modelling process is the choice of the app...

Proces optimizacije površinskih kopova, kao sastavni deo strateškog planiranja, veoma je važan sa stanovišta ostvarivanja maksimalnih efekata proizvodnje. To je složen zadatak koji vrlo često podleže vrlo strogim geometrijskim i drugim praktičnim rudarskim ograničenjima. Ova ograničenja u posebno su izražena na površinskim kopovima uglja, te u znač...

Today deposits are often, small in size, with poor quality and with complex structure and geometry, which makes them very difficult to mine. For this reasons, taking into account a wide range of parameters is the most important thing for the successful managing of the economically viable project. The problem is that practically, value of every para...

The main goal of coal quality control in lignite mines is to supply coal to power plants within certain quality constraints. Coal properties can affect the efficiency, reliability, and availability of both the boiler and the emission control units. This paper presents a new based integrated mine process simulation approach to in-vestigate the varia...

U ovom radu data je uporedna procena rizika eksploatacije stare i nove deponije pepela i šljake u Kostolcu. Procena rizika je vršena prema FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) metodi u kombinaciji sa matricom rizika, koja podrazumeva detaljnu razradu scenarija potencijalne havarije na deponiji i analizu posledica koje bi ta havarija izazvala....

This paper presents a comparative risk assessment of Coal Combustion Waste Disposal in the old and new landfills in Kostolac. FMEA (Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) method is applied for risk assessment in combination with a risk matrix, which includes a detailed elaboration of potential accident scenario at the landfills and the analysis of acc...

The power plant owner is interested to know in advance the quality of coal to be burnt which should meet maximal efficiency of power plant and the environmental regulations. There is the need to control and to predict the quality of coal at the mine site to meet sulfur emission requirements. Coal quality control between the mine site and the utilit...

In contemporary mining industry is very difficult to achieve production targets and profit without investing effort in detailed excavation planning. It is especially true for deposits with complex geological structure and production technology, as is the case for many coal mines in Serbia. The majority of coal production is used for generation of e...
