K.I. Strukov, M.V. Rylnikova, I.L. Nikiforova

The article describes the main principles of a new concept of mine development at the final stage of vein gold deposit mining. The authors prove that decision making on novel geotechnology solutions aimed at re-engineering of auriferous ore mining and processing with the subsequent utilization of wastes in underground mined-out areas has made possible for the Yuzhuralzoloto Group AO to reach a qualitatively new level of production with enhanced productivity, utmost possible safety-in-mining, as well as more complete extraction of the useful component from the earth.

Key words: vein gold deposits, final stage of deposit mining, mine, Yuzhuralzoloto Group AO, concept of development, georesources, restructuring, mining methods, logistics solution, comprehensive development, geotechnology, production capacity, environmentally balanced mineral mining
