Preface
Dear Colleagues,
During the past two years we worked with great pride and enthusiasm on the organization
of the Fifth Balkan Congress of Mining in order to leave a mark in the history of the Balkan
Mining.
We tried to include experts from the mining industry to elaborate 130 papers received
from 14 countries and to make the Fifth richest Jubilee Congress in terms of incoming
papers.
At the same time, a lot of companies which are included in the area of mining in
Macedonia and abroad decided to present their products and services at the exhibition
which is organized along with the Congress.
Macedonian pearl, Ohrid, is a place which could provide ideal conditions for working on the
Congress and to welcome all the participants with its beautiful natural environment.
We are grateful to all board members, all participants and all companies which contributed
to organizing of this Congress and leaving a mark in ten years work of Balkan Committee
and BALKANMINE.
We wish a lot of happiness, health and success to all participants and others involved in the
operation of the mining industry in our country and in the world.
Good Luck!

ABSTRACT
The paper is focused on the problem of selecting the most suitable location and the way of
opening the open pit mines, based on the multicriteria risk assessment. In the introductory
section, a presentation of demands regarding the problem of location selection and the way of
opening the open pit mines is given, as well as the risks inherited and generated by the
structure, mutual relationship and spatial and temporal variations of the influential factors
such as geological, hydrogeological, hydrological, geotechnical, technical, technological,
communication, ecological, urbanism, business-economics, market, investment and other
factors.
The idiosyncrasy in decision making process regarding the selection of location and the way of
opening the open pit mines in the design phase reflects in the presence of uncertainty in
defining the causal-consequential relations and changes of influential factors. In this ambience,
the condition of securing the adequate and efficient decision making regarding the location
and the way of opening the open pit mine is to provide a reliable, multicriteria assessment of
the uncertainty and risk for each of the possible alternative solutions. Accordingly, the paper
continues with commented review of mathematical models potentially applicable in solving
The example of the coal open pit mine Coal series floor layer at the Mining and Energy
Combine Bitola, with seven possible ways of opening the open pit mine, served as a
presentation tool for the purpose of displaying the benefits of the multicriteria Promethee

ABSTRACT
The Velenje Coal Mine (VCM) is company with more than 137-year tradition of lignite
mining, solid in the present time and energetically directed towards future. Highly
technological developed mining equipment, qualified employers who manage it putt
Velenje Coal Mine in group of the most modern coalmines in the world.
The entire process is based on the consideration of natural characteristics, provision of
adequate safety and the prediction of impacts on the environment. The Velenje mining
method, which is being performed by caving the hanging wall layers is used in one of the
thickest lignite seams in the world. The first beginnings of longwall faces appeared in 1947,
while an extensive introduction of longwall faces began in 1952.
The basic approach of mining using the Velenje mining method (VMM) is that we extend the
coal extraction area also above the protected area at the face (the tunnel part protected
by hydraulic support system). This includes exploitation of natural forces for breaking and
crushing the seam. The Velenje mining method is an internationally protected patent that
has been proven to be the most effective method for extracting thick coal seams.
Velenje Coal Mine continues to develop and tries to improve the mining method. Namely,
in 2008 Velenje Coal Mine started mining in the 210-m long face. This was done for the first
time in the history of Velenje Coal Mine, and the face was also successfully mined. This was
performed with the use of modern mining equipment, especially the new hydraulic support
system and advanced chain conveyor.
In future, the concept of developing the pits of Velenje Coal Mine will be based on a lower
number of faces (in average two), which will, however, be wider (more than 200 m). Thus,
the economic effects for 4 million tons of annual production may be considerable. It will
not be necessary to build as many roadways and auxiliary facilities, less surveillance will be
required, etc. Such a concept of coal mining must be adequately scientifically studied,
professionally planned and executed using the state-of-the-art technology.
In scope of development strategy number of employees in Velenje Coal Mine is reducing
were number of employees in affiliate companies is increasing. This will assure working
places in future than coalmining will stop.

ABSTRACT
Most of the reactions and processes are getting more rapidly at higher temperatures.
Temperature dependence of the chemical reaction progress at best approximates
Arrhenius law. The reaction rate may also depend on the concentration of reactants. We
note that the Arrhenius equation (1) in the exponent has the following units: activation
energy (Ea), the molar gas constant (R) and temperature (T).
 Ea
k  A  e RT Equation 1
The activation energy is actually required specific energy of chemical reactions, and
through the Arrhenius equation also the measure of progress the chemical reactions. By
the analysis of equation 1, we can see that the following statement is true activation
energy and temperature are inversely proportional units. In the work are made the
experiments of mechanochemical treatment of minerals with a polar organic reagents. On
that way in the ball mill is made its lining. In the above experiments it was observed that
there is a temperature dependence of the progress mechanochemical reaction or coating
process. The idea that made us the law that applies to chemical changes applied to the
adsorption changes that are essentially physical nature araise when we noticed that there
is connection between the temperature and time of coating mineral materia. Specifically,
we found that with increasing temperature the mineral on ma decreases the time required
to carry grain paneling. As a measure of progress mechanochemical reaction we used a
modified Arrhenius equation. Adopted activation energy in mechanochemical treatment is
complete impregnation mixture of mineral grains.

ABSTRACT
Ventilation networks are complex opening, preparation and exploitation works which are
extended horizontally and vertically, having a cumulative length of tens of kilometers.
When an explosion type phenomena occurs, there is formed on one hand the dynamic
wave which develops an overpressure of 1-8 bar in case of methane and 1-11 bar in case of
coal dust, and on the other hand the flame front which generates temperatures over
2500°C.
Due to high pressure generated by explosion in underground mine workings, there occur
high forces which action upon all obstacles encountered on the propagation direction of
the dynamic wave.
These forces exceed by far the resistance breaking to compression, shearing strength, the
tensile strength, resistance to buckling or torsion specific to materials encountered on the
dynamic wave propagation direction.
Therefore, in case of an underground explosion occurrence major disturbances of the
ventilation network occur which are generated by: partial destruction of regulator doors;
partial destruction of insulation doors; complete destruction of regulator doors; complete
destruction of insulation doors; destruction of insulation constructions; cavings which
occur on the mine workings adjacent to the epicenter of the explosion.

DRAG ENERGY CONSUMPTION PERCENTAGE (DECP) CONCEPT

AS A TOOL FOR COMPARISON OF DIGGING DIFFICULTY (DD) AT
DRAGLINE STRIPPING PANELS
Metin OZDOGAN
Ideal Machinery and Consultancy Ltd., Ankara, Turkey
dr.mozdogan@gmail.com
ABSTRACT
Drag Energy Consumption Percentage (DECP) concept for stripping draglines is a new
concept proposed by the author. Full work cycle of walking draglines (WD) consist of
dragging-in, hoisting, swinging, dumping, swinging back and lowering segments. This
comparison criterion proposed is independent of size, model and make of the equipment
(equipment specifications). It is inclusive of digging effort of WD in other words breakout
and bucket fill segments. Therefore, it can be used as a measure of the digging difficulty
encountered by the draglines operating at different surface mine sites. The criterion
indicates the diggability of the overburden in question and/or indicates the degree of
blasting performance (how well the overburden formation is loosened), in addition to the
other concepts proposed as specific drag-in energy (SDIE) and specific bucket fill energy
(SBFE). The paper discusses percentages (DECP) measured at five different mine sites and
WDs and compares DECP with the diggability difficulty observed and with the powder
factors being used; and proposes a diggability classification for WDs foperating at lignite
measure rocks being stripped based on the findings of the survey. It's accordance with
other classification criteria proposed for WD benches of the survey is also discussed. Prime
mover and DC motor specifications and operational specification s of the WDs are also
given. Brief rock properties of the benches are also cited. Energy consumption is measured
by a laboratory type monitor from the control frames of control cabinets of the
equipment. The draglines are equipped with control cabinets that house a series of control
frames for each DC motor. Proper test points on each control frame provide a clean plus
minus 15 VDC signal for both armature voltage and current.

ABSTRACT
Bucket wheel excavator consists of a number of elements and assemblies, as well as
relations between them and their characteristics structured in a way that ensures
performing of predicted actions during operation and carrying out of necessary functions
in time and conditions of exploitation.
Behaviour of the bucket wheel excavator under real conditions of exploitation can not be
predicted by engineering methods during the design phase, employing of methods of
probability theory is necessary as well. Taking that into account, reliability of mechanical
components is a probability that the system will successfully perform its work function
within the allowable deviation range, projected service period and given conditions of
exploitation.
Therefore, only tests performed on structures of the bucket wheel excavator in operating
necessary data for the comparison of quality and assessment of machines and structures,
for the assessment of spatial operation of certain components and elements regarding the
load-carrying capacity, as well as for the defining of joint operation of drive devices and
structures.
Development of reliability concept is fundamentally based on the comparison of certain
values which characterise functions of work capacity.

ABSTRACT
The Tenka deposits (which include Tenka 1, Tenka 2, and Tenka 3 deposits, located in
eastern Serbia) belong to polymetallic deposits and besides the copper they contain lead
and zinc minerals in a certain content. From this perspective, defining optimal ore
processing conditions (due to complex ore characteristics) and obtaining commercial
product with satisfactory technological properties, represents complex task and requires
serious research and examinations.
This paper presents a part of technological investigations performed to determine the
possibility of copper and precious metals valorization from the ore deposit Tenka 3, using a
flotation concentration method. During the experimental procedure, ethoxycarbonyl
thiourea based collector (AERO 5500 promoter) and sodium isopropyl xanthate were used,
while the pH value of flotation pulp varied from 9.9 to 11.6. The results shown that this
combination of reagents affects relatively low recovery of copper and precious metals
(regardless to pH value of pulp).

ABSTRACT
Application of multisectoral models in our country as well as world-wide has so far been
mostly related with the macroeconomic systems, i.e. the business system of a country.
Multisectoral models were mostly used in economy, only to some extent in the mining
industry, without much interest of engineering staff.
The area of multisectoral models utilization in business public enterprises and business
companies has not sufficiently been explored. Results obtained following the example of
Kolubara, TENT and Kostolac show the potential of a realistic review of mutually extremely
complex production-related direct and indirect dependencies and influences within
commercial entities.

NEW PERSPECTIVE OPEN PIT MINES

IN KOLUBARA LIGNITE BASIN IN SERBIA
Nenad
Electric Power Industry of Serbia, Belgrade, Serbia
nenad.popovic@eps.rs
ABSTRACT
In 2012, EPS produced a total of 37.6 million tons of lignite in mines located in the
Kolubara and Kostolac basins. The lignite, extracted by the Corporate Enterprise Mining
Basin Kolubara, was used to generate 46.2% of the total electricity produced by EPS,
whilst the lignite mined by TPPs-OCMs KOSTOLAC fuelled 14.4% of EPS power generation.
Lignite output in both the Kolubara and Kostolac basins is expected to increase, since the
Serbian energy development strategy includes the construction of new thermal power
plant. Investments are therefore needed at existing lignite mines and for development of
new lignite deposits. Priority is given to joint projects with strategic partners of EPS,
including projects to construct two new 350 MW lignite-based units near the Kolubara
mine at TPP Kolubara B and the new unit, Nikola Tesla B3 with a capacity of 700 MW.At
the same time, existing lignite fields will be extended and new deposits will be accessed.
Mining basin Kolubara operates four opencast mines, namely Field B in C, Field D, Veliki
Crljeni and Tamnava West Field.The lignite is used to generate heat and power at the
Kolubara thermo power plant (TPP), TPP Nikola Tesla A and B and TPP Morava.
Since the future opencast mine Field E will not capable solely to satisfy fuel supply to
existing TPP capacities, EPS needs to open up new lignite fields at Radljevo,for field D
substitute field E and Field G at Southfields deposit. In accordance with this mining
development strategy, the main issue is to improve resource utilisation and search for
possibilities to maximize lignite extraction, to examine different investigate output
scenarios and finaly sustanable operational costs.
The opencast operation use modern mining equipment, including bucket-wheel
excavaters, belt conveyors and spreaders with an average capacity of 4000 - 6000 cbm/h.
This technology allows continuous extraction and thereby ensures a steady flow of the fuel
to the power stations.

ABSTRACT
The knowledge about characteristics of coal gases is of great importance, especially during
mining. The sources of gas, its transport and accumulation are included. This study focuses
on lignite seam in the Velenje Coal Mine and different sorption capacities of particular
types (lithotypes) of lignite. The progress in laboratory high pressure sorption studies is
presented (up to 100 bar).
The measurements were performed on an updated instrument according to the improved
volumetric gas sampling method. The gas was sampled from the reaction cell during the
sorption simulation. The data quality has been positively affected by the updated
instruments. The performed three sets of measurements led to results that were crucial for
further research. In the experiment, the amount of adsorbed and desorbed gas was
calculated from the pressure difference in the known cell volume.
The obtained amounts of gas could permit the risk assessment of possible coal dust and
gas outbursts. The performed tests shall enable a more exact determination and
understanding of gas effects, possibly add some new knowledge to understanding of the
dangerous phenomena, possibly also their prediction, and lead to better safety in mining.

ABSTRACT
The impact of underground mining excavation in Velenje Coal Mine reflects as surface
subsidence soon after excavation and reaches 90% of its final value of approximately three
months after the excavation is finished. In this paper an extensive surface subsidence
monitoring and computer modelling for predicting the movements on the surface will be
introduced. On the surface of the mining area the measurements of observation networks
are performed for more decades. Before 1990 the measurements of the networks were
made only by a combination of triangulation and trilateration for planar networks and
geometric leveling for the orthometric heights. With the development of satellite
technology and the emergence of GPS system the Velenje Coal Mine began to consider
establishing a monitoring network based on GPS measurements. In 1996 GPS observation
network with 18 measurement points was established. Nowadays, all together over 300
measurement points in the entire Velenje Coal Mine surface area is observed at least once
per year. Due to surface subsid
gives us also an insight into the modifications of the terrain under the lakes.
Further, for predicting the movements of the surface a computer model is used. The basis
of this complex model is consolidation model and statistical analysis of measured
subsidence. Analyses and predictions of surface movements over mining areas on the basis
of geodetic networks observations results and computer subsidence modelling have
proven to be reliable and coincide with subsequent verification based on measured data.
Furthermore, acquired information enables timely and appropriate respond and
preparations to ensure safety, future land works, surface remediation and reclamation for
any defined periods until the end of the planned coal extraction.

The paper presents examples of the loss of structural integrity due to large induced
defects in welded joints occurred during the time of preparation of construction or during
operation, which are not detected in time or not at the time repaired, and can be
attributed to inadequate prevention in system maintenance.
Daily visual inspection should be provided in order to monitor the behavior of structures in
exploitation, and if necessary, NTD method of testing the most loaded parts of the
structure should be applied. This approach may be applied to other types of similar
construction, and its application in preventive maintenance would help extend the life of

The cycle maintenance that goes on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year is of special
importance; it is a hard and expensive task, and the continuity of electrical energy supplies
This paper shows thermovision as an efficient means of tracking the state of a production
system, whose shortcomings, functional errors and problems cause the system to come to
safety and health.

The monitoring system in technical system diagnosis can be fully accomplished by the
application of software-enabled thermovision cameras of the newer generation; the
weak link ,
without interrupting the production process at any cost.
The idea is to extend the scale of preventive maintenance by recording and monitoring the
entire production process with a thermovision camera, with a special attention to distinct
places for which it has been determined that they are potentially prone to catching fire, all
in order to react in a timely manner when maintaing a technical system and dealing with
fire prevention.

ABSTRACT
The paper provided some measurements carried out by seismic shocks caused when
carrying out primary mining and appropriate parameters in terms of safety of the
surrounding buildings. In this paper one of the goals is to analyze and define the criteria for
assessment of shocks in terms of appropriate application for methods of mining, safety
distances, especially for different mining conditions.
With statistical analyses of the values we can determine the criteria for soil oscillation law
depending on reduced distance, seismic intensity of the protected facilities etc.
This gets a final conclusion on the assessment of shocks depending of the parameters of
mining, safety distances when performing the various methods of blasting and the
formation of tabular presentation of evaluation criteria for the shocks and safety
distances.
The calculation or dimensioning of parameters blasting are the step in setting the
technique of drilling and blasting which later, in local conditions, can be modified and yield
the best possible results.

ABSTRACT
The effects of human actions on the environment become more important, and Petroleum
companies are joining with government officials in finding ways to provide for us oil and
gas without damaging the environment. The choices are not always easy ones, especially
for oilfield drilling and production. Diesel-based drilling muds are hazardous to the
environment and water based muds are not compatible with some formations.
Many years the best systems to cure wellbore instability have been oil-base muds because
they provide superior shale inhibition characteristics and lubricity. But synthetic drilling
fluid give the right balance of environmental safety and performance - even under the
toughest drilling conditions. Since first-generation of drilling fluid known simply as
synthetic or pseudo oil-based muds was introduced these products have offered high
performance, low-toxicity alternatives to diesel in oilfield drilling applications.
Through the years, constant research and field testing lead to the introduction of
synthetic muds - with even higher levels of environmental safety and performance. This
product has been successfully used troughout the world as the preferred replacement for
diesel and mineral oils in drilling fluids applications.

ABSTRACT
Following the atomic disaster from Fukushima-Japan, the energy strategies worldwide
have changed.This change of strategy has also been achieved in our country. Fossil raw
materials like coal will still remain the main energy source. For the efficient use of these
raw materials, there have been formed at country level the Oltenia and the Hunedoara
energy complexes which are using lignite from the Oltenia coal field and hard coal from
the jiu Valley coal field.
The profitability of hard coal exploitation in Jiu Valley has been achieved by dividing the
National Hard Coal Company into two companies: National Hard Coal Society Petrosani
(SNH) and the National Society for Mine Closure Jiu Valley (SNIMVJ).
The SNH comprises Lonea, Livezeni, Vulcan and Lupeni mining units and SNIMVJ comprises
Petrila, Paroseni and Uricani mining units. For increasing the safety level in hard coal
exploitation, there are applied for both companies a series of methods for
preventing/combating spontaneous combustions, measures resulting from the research
activities carried out by a team from INCD INSEMEX Petrosani. Of these research activities,
the prevention of spontaneous combustion using inorganic inhibitors of zinc chloride type
has been patented, having the patent no. 126308, and the framework methods for
preventing/fighting against spontaneous combustions and endogenous fires is pending a
patent, having the patent request no. 2011-00357. The methods from the two
patents/patent requests have been implemented in the two companies.

ABSTRACT
Majority of contemporary companies operate in a turbulent environment and plenty of
their decision problems involving risk and uncertainty. This particularly applies to the
mining companies. Namely, mining project managers frequently face important decisions
regarding the best allocation of limited resources among mining projects that are
characterized by substantial financial risk and uncertainty. Thus, the challenge of
sustainable development requires the mining industry to adopt proactive risk management
approaches that recognize, integrate and implement the three pillars of social,
environmental and economic sustainability.
This paper deals with analysis of external risks in the Serbian mining company Kostolac,
which deals with surface mining of coal. Kostolac is a part of the state power utilities
system with the function of supplying power plants with the required fuel.
Since Kostolac is mining company of national interest, the external risks have been
identified as economic, financial, market, regulatory, risks with regards to expropriation,
geopolitical, social and environmental risks. Based on the preliminary list of potential
hazards, risk assessment is carried out using method known as Failure Mode and Effects
Analysis (FMEA). FMEA is a tool originally developed for risk and reliability analysis of
various technical systems, and there is relatively little research on how it can be applied to
non-technical areas. Risk analysis is performed based on current conditions for few
potential scenarios that predict different types of changes in the analyzed period.

ABSTRACT
The blast effect problem of shock waves is growing in the area surrounding blasting
activities. In addition to damage shock waves may cause on buildings and mining site
facilities, they also impact badly human force there, namely the environment. Lately
considerable research in the world has been dedicated to the examination and numeric
modelling of this phenomenon. Specific standards have been established defining the blast
effect margin level of shock waves on facilities and human force there.
Numerous numerical and empirical models have been developed to predict and monitor
them. In Serbia, there are no standards for the assessment of blast effect of shock waves.
This paper deals with the assessment of blast effect of an open pit mine and specific
conclusions that have been drawn.

ABSTRACT
The paper is focused on the problem of selecting the most suitable location and the way of
opening the open pit mines, based on the multicriteria risk assessment.
In the introductory section, a presentation of demands regarding the problem of location
selection and the way of opening the open pit mines is given, as well as the risks inherited
and generated by the structure, mutual relationship and spatial and temporal variations of
the influential factors such as geological, hydrogeological, hydrological, geotechnical,
technical, technological, communication, ecological, urbanism, business-economics,
market, investment and other factors.
The idiosyncrasy in decision making process regarding the selection of location and the
way of opening the open pit mines in the design phase reflects in the presence of
uncertainty in defining the causal-consequential relations and changes of influential
factors.
In this ambience, the condition of securing the adequate and efficient decision making
regarding the location and the way of opening the open pit mine is to provide a reliable,
multicriteria assessment of the uncertainty and risk for each of the possible alternative
solutions.
Accordingly, the paper continues with commented review of mathematical models
The example of the coal open pit mine Coal series floor layer at the Mining and Energy
Combine Bitola, with seven possible ways of opening the open pit mine, served as a
presentation tool for the purpose of displaying the benefits of the multicriteria Promethee
model in risk assessment of selection of the most suitable opening variant.

ABSTRACT
For a rather long period, coal was non-competitive as an energy product in comparison to
oil and natural gas and because of that less interesting. In the last time it is rising again.
Major reasons for that are: energy price per unit, abundant and geographically dispersed
fossil fuel, and relationship between worldwide supplies and consumption.
Competitive against rivals is development of new coal technologies which are ecologically
friendlier. We called it CCT (Clean Coal Technologies). In spite of higher use of renewable
sources and increasing energy efficiency and new best available technologies (BAT) it will
be possible to keep a considerable share of electrical supply from coal power plants.
CCT will be in future a key submission at assuring sufficient amount of produced electrical
energy worldwide, in European Union, and locally. At Premogovnik Velenje (Coal Mine
Velenje) we are aware that greenhouse gases emissions are a problem. Therefore we
established research project in 2007.
Its target is the use of best technologies that will contribute to rationalization of processes
of production of coal, to assuring of higher safety and humanism, and solving of
environmental problems. This paper presents activities for the cleaner production,
preparation and utilization of coal. In the framework of power generation, these actions
enable the conditions for the transfer of knowledge, research results and technologies into
working practice. Concept of CCT is much wider in its definition. The research project in
Premogovnik Velenje contains three more important round-off components in this phase
of its development: Lignite Degasification; the CO 2 Capture and Storage (CCS); and
Underground Coal Gasification (UCG). We want to reach our targets with realization of
these measures that comprise CCT: improvement of efficiencies and environmental
acceptability of production of lignite, its processing, and utilizing.

ABSTRACT
Velenje coal mine is an underground mine with average annual production around 4 million
tons of lignite coal. Our main conveyance system which brings whole mine production to
the surface is a system of several consecutive belt conveyors. Due to mine development
active production fields are moving to west part of coal deposit and existing conveyance
system became widely spread and distant. In 2009 we started technical and economic
studies for new production shaft equipped with skips. After exploration drilling and
geologic research in 2010, we started with operational activities for shaft sinking in 2011.
In first and second phase of preliminary works we prepared infrastructures for construction
site, we constructed shaft collar and we sank shaft to depth of 37 m, then we assembled
and installed hanging platforms, top cover, temporary headframe and winch hall with nine
winches.
Complete set of shaft sinking equipment was ready in September 2012 when we started
with shaft sinking. In first 100 m we crossed several different geologic layers; we had
difficult geologic conditions, water and mud irruptions, gas outburst, but we manage to
break through. For such complex and difficult underground construction we implemented
extensive geological and geotechnical surveillance.
Constant monitoring gave us very useful information, which were daily used to make
th
decisions for operative activities. At the moment (12 of July 2013) we are at depth of 150
m and shaft sinking is in progress. Final shaft depth will be 505 m and according to our
plan we will finish shaft sinking till March 2015. After equipment assembly and
commissioning we are planning to start with regular skip hoisting in February 2016.

EXCAVATION OF OVERBURDEN IN THE WATERED

WORKING AREA ABOVE THE ROOF OF COAL
IN EASTERN PART OF OPEN PIT DRMNO
Milan
ABSTRACT
Performing the technical mining solutions given in the GRP operative unit of the mine was
faced with two serious technological problems which are particularly shown in the eastern
part of the OPM Drmno. One of the problems is that the current system of deep
dewatering cannot fully bring down the underwater level and prepare the tier for digging,
so then on contact of overburden with the roof there is a certain quantity of water which
makes the pulp material during the excavator operation.
This material is very inconvenient when loading, transportation and disposal at the landfill
and in winter conditions due to low temperatures, the material blocks certain functions of
mechanization and operation of the system. Another problem is that the roof of the coal is
not flat so the excavator cannot track on such a surface without a serious bulldozer work
to make a route.
These problems have forced mining operative unit to try out a number of technical
solutions in order to overcome these problems and allow mechanization to achieve the
planned production. The existing technical solution that is now applied is technologically
acceptable, but there is a disadvantage because the excavators working directly on the
excavation or coal production are being taken from the other systems.
New technical solution is based on correction of the excavation technology and digging of
discharge ducts at the base of the inner side of the slope levels, to prevent the flow of
water in the excavator block during the overburden digging above the coal roof level. The
proposed technical solution provides the ability to excavate a part of overburden with the
designed machinery, or with an excavator SRs 2000 32/5 and it is not necessary to take the
machinery from another system. And if the effect the excavator is reduced by the
proposed solution, the excavation is far more acceptable, cost-effective and efficient than
the existing one.

ABSTRACT
Mining is basic in the process of exploitation of mineral raw materials, whether it is a
surface or underground mines. Separate section is the special blasting which must ensure
strict, advance superiors conditions. Success in performed blasting depends on the applied
method, the rocky massif and quantity of explosives.
To determine the method for blasting and the quantity of explosive in the blast holes, it is
necessary to know the mechanical properties of the ground: direction of foliation, degree
of cracking, Jung modulus of elasticity and other parameters which are used for
mathematical modeling to define the position of the blast holes and the optimal quantity
of explosive in them.
As a proper geophysical method for defining the mechanical properties of the rock
complex is seismic method which gave all relevant parameters for successful blasting.
Seismic method could be useful applied in defining the explosion zones: zone of thermal
influence, internal plastic zone and external plastic zone.
In the paper, briefly, will be presented seismic method and the mechanical parameters
derived from investigation.

ABSTRACT
Republic of Macedonia, according to current knowledge, have alluvial deposits of gold that
were exploited in the past, unfortunately, long time was not addressed on this tip of
deposits. Existence of contemporary geophysical methods, especially high precision
magnetometers, gives relatively easy and very efficient possibility for defining the area of
alluvial terraces, not only on the existing rivers but, also, in the old riverbed.
To define the most prospective areas for detailed research, bearing in mind that the gold
and accompanying heavy precious metals are non-magnetic, which are of exploitation
interest, almost always, paragenetic, magnetite is present with them. Magnetite as a
mineral have the highest magnetic level, according to that is easy detectable.
Department of geology and geophysics owns appropriate equipment for geomagnetic
profiling and software for analyses of measured data. Areas with registered anomalies
should be investigated with schlich method and core drilling in order to define depth of
alluvium.

ABSTRACT
In the immediate vicinity of the open pits of the coal mine RMU , as well as in the
wider area around them, there is a large number of residential buildings which were built in
different ways. The projected development of mining activities is in that direction and it is
realistic to expect pronounced seismic effects of blasting on these objects.
According to the researches the vibration of the structure is larger from 1 to 2.8 times
than input vibration of the ground and the duration of the vibration of the structure is
longer from 1 to 2.2 times than ground motion. The values of these factors, besides
blasting parameters and the properties of mined rocks, depend on constructive systems of
buildings that are exposed to seismic effects.
The aim of this work is to determine the measures to be taken to mitigate the adverse
effects of seismic blasting on the basis of completed seismic measurements.

Macedonia the usage of geophysics researches while determining the geological and
structural characteristics of the working environments is not nearly on the level on which it
should be. For these reasons this paper is going to elaborate the usage and the practicality
of the geophysical examinations in the mining industry.
The example elaborated in this paper is based on data gained from the coal mine
Suvodol . Through examination of the parameters from the boreholes and the geological
map of the coal mine we determinate the layered structure of the ore body that provides
favorable conditions for applying the method of geo-electrical sounding. For this purpose,
we use a measuring composition made of two current and two potential electrodes placed
inline in Schlumberger layout.
Synthetic curves for real electrical resistance can be made while using the processed data
from the boreholes. If the method is solved indirectly from these curves we can determine
the specific electrical resistance of the materials which are present in the examined
environment.
The depth of the examined area that is stimulated by the electrical current directly
depends on the distance of the current electrodes. After every new measuring the current
electrodes are successively drifting away and thereby we gain values for the apparent
electrical resistance for different depths in the examined area. By connecting the values of
the apparent electrical resistance, we create a curve for apparent electrical resistance of
the environment.
A geo-electrical model of the researched environment is created by connecting all
obtained curves. By processing the geo-electrical model using the data gained from the
curves of the real electrical resistance, a geological image for the examined environment
can be made.

When researching a specific environment with applying geophysical methods the number
of the boreholes which are necessary for establishing the geological map can be reduced.
The loss of data that occurs by the reduction of the number of the boreholes is
compensated with the data gained from the geophysical researches and therefore when
researching geologically known or unknown environments with the use of the geophysical
methods the costs can significantly reduce.

ABSTRACT
Opening of a mine is complex procedure dependent on more parameters, but as the most
important are: deposit with sufficient concentration of useful material which can be
extract with appropriate technological process and economic working. Anyway, for
possible opening of a mine, first and necessary factor is determination of deposit area and
defining the space distribution and concentration of mineral raw material.
Intense exploitation of mineral raw materials which were base for future development of
the industry, especially in 20-th century, caused many mines to finish their life. Deposits
which were easy detectible and near to the surface, for a short time were depleted. The
need for metals and non-metals, and especially energetic mineral raw materials increases,
so the investigation from the Earth's surface went deeper in its interior.
If geological explorations were carriers of the discovery of sub - surface deposits of mineral
raw materials, today there is a wide range of geophysical methods that gives possibility to
expand the our knowledge deeper under the Earth's surface. Importance of geophysics
should be underlined in exploration of seas and oceans which covered 3/4 from the Earth's
area.
Geophysical methods are divided into: gravity, geomagnetic, geoelectrical, seismic,
geothermal, radioactivity and radar methods with wide range of radiation.The paper,
briefly presents the basic physical parameters characteristic for given methods.

ABSTRACT
To improve kinetic models, many first - order flotation kinetics models with distributions
of flotation rate constants were redefined so that they could all be represented by the
same set of three model parameters. As a result, the width of the distribution become
independent of its mean, and parameters of the model and the curve fitting errors,
became virtually the same, independent of the chosen distribution function.
In our case, investigations of the chalcopyrite ores are carried out using the existing or
mixed model. According to the experimental results obtained in laboratory, the Classical
model is most appropriate for presentation of kinetic flotation, especially by means of
MATLAB modeling.

ABSTRACT
This article discusses the problems of creation, visualization, control and management of
schedules for various mining activities. Emphasis is placed on MS Project - a software
product designed to create plans, projects and schedules as well as control and
management of their implementation. It is discussed in a practical manner its ability to
analyze the amount of work, the spent finances, the invested time and the risks about
implementation both of a specific activity and all activities performed simultaneously in a
mining company.
The activities performed in the mining sector include large amount of tasks and resources
which have strictly fixed time for their completion.
Here are investigated three typical examples of creating and managing schedules in
different types of mining activities, namely:
- Schedule for driving a new mining working;
- Schedule for introduction of new equipment and technology;
- Schedule for cyclic-recurrent mining activities.
The activities, the resources, the duration and the opportunities for controlling them are
described in a summarized way. The relations between the activities, the resources and the
time for their implementation are defined. The effectiveness of the use of different types
of calendars - standard and continuous - 24 hours that is specific to the continuous mining
activities is evaluated.
The effect from using the resources for adequate managerial decisions in case of critical
situations that MS Project provides is illustrated through the examined examples.

This paper will analyze the reasons that led to the demolition of balancing natural
formations in the structure, resulting in collapse:
- Reducing Shear zone geological formations, the perimeter of the excavation, during
excavation for construction of embankment above.
- The action of forces on vertical incision from above, during the compression process with
vibration, as in the formations below the embankment, as well as the material that formed
it, during restoration works,
- Change the mode of work and out of formations under (forward) embankment from:
further speculate clay formations with water, groundwater movement, swelling and
freezing processes.
- Passing the plastic lying, the current, soon to become the area where the work, swelling

ABSTRACT
This paper presents the research of several carbonate deposits with seismic measurements
and assessment of their geotechnical parameters on the field and in the laboratory.
The importance of this type of geophysical exploration should be seen by the fact that
these methods cheaper the process of defining the real model of the rock complex and
getting on parameters that are relevant for the whole investigation area.
Geotechnical measurements on the samples conducted in laboratory are very important,
but received data are relevant only for certain point, not for the whole area.
Real model for the area will be made if geophysical data are combined with the data from
the investigative drilling and laboratory geotechnical research.
This paper will have important impact in the interpretation of the carbonate complexes if
velocities of the seismic waves are known and according to them to be defined
geotechnical parameters, without laboratory investigations. Also, vice versa, if
geotechnical parameters are known, the seismic velocities could be defined.

ABSTRACT
In literature, there are several parameters effective on the results of Slake Durability Index
degradability. One of these parameters is the geometrical shapes of the rock chunks used
in test. Although it is offered in the ASTM and ISRM standard that the shapes of rock
chunks should be close to spherical as much as possible, the preparation of the samples
having this geometrical shape is quite hard with the current applied technique of sample
preparation.
In this study, to minimize the difficulties encountered in the preparation of the equivalent
sized spherical samples, a new sample preparation method which is called as Pasha Method
is proposed.
In this method, firstly, samples were cut in the form of cube whose dimensions were
determined according to the density of the rock to be subjected to the slake durability
index test. Secondly, cubic samples were cut in such a special way called as Pasha cut that
the twelve sides and eight corners of cubic samples are cut to obtain the geometrical
shape (pre-spherical form) which is closest to spherical form.
Finally, these samples having pre-spherical form are placed into sphere preparation
instrument in order to obtain the equal-sized spherical test samples.
In order to apply this new sample preparation method, white tuff samples were collected
at the tuff quarry located at the Eskisehir region in Turkey. The collected samples were
brought to rock mechanics laboratory. In the laboratory, white tuff samples were prepared.
Equal-sized spherical samples are prepared according to the new method, Pasha Method.

Then, slake durability index test have been applied to saturated spherical samples. The
index values of saturated spherical samples have been compared with the results of
another study performed on the same tuff samples.
Consequently, the decrease in the slake durability index values were observed as a result of
physical effects of saturation on spherical samples.

ABSTRACT
The paper presents the results of numerical modelling of stress strain state in the rock
mass within designed deep open pits in the Zhelezny mine owned by Kovdorsky GOK JSC
and the Tsentralny mine owned by Apatit JSC on the basis of in situ stress
measurements. Hazardous areas in the wall rock mass have been identified. The conditions
of maintenance of deep pit walls stability with vertical benches have been determined.
For modelling calculations there was applied a method of successive approximations
supposing formation of nested numerical models with different detail level. They range
from small- -scaled
which study stress strain state within separate elements of mining technology. The
calculations were carried out by the finite element method with the software SigmaGT
designed by the Mining Institute KSC RAS.
The research results were applied for development of the regulations for the mining
operations at the apatite-nepheline Plateau Rasvumchorr deposit (the Tsentralny mine)
and the apatite-magnetite-baddeleyite Kovdor deposit (the Zhelezny mine).

ABSTRACT
The open pit slope stability and the stability of separate benches depend on the state of
stress, properties and structural disturbance of the intact rock mass, as well as on a
secondary anthropogenic rock disturbance due to the effective static and dynamic stress
fields in open-pit mining and ore breaking. It is these parameters that are first taken into
account in justification of critical angles of benches and pit slopes in rock masses. The
state of stress of a rock mass is determined by a doorstopper stress-relief technique in
the Zhelezny open-pit benches, the Kovdorsky iron-ore deposit, as well as in the Tsentralny
and Njorkpakhksky apatite-nepheline deposits, the Khibiny massif, outside the disturbed
zone.
Within the open-pit benches, the excavation damaged zone (EDZ) extent was determined
by ultrasonic logging, by coring, and also by the televiewer survey data. It has been
established that, depending on the blasting techniques, rock properties and fracturing, the
EDZ extent ranges from 0 m to 12 m deep into the surrounding rock mass. Outside the
EDZ, determination of stress state of rock masses hosting the open pits said was carried
out, and effective horizontal stresses exceeding 3 to10 times gravitational stresses
resulting from the dead weight of rocks (γ ) have been determined.
Lateral pressure, parallel to pit walls, increases cohesion between blocks in a block
medium, which should be taken into consideration in calculations made in substantiating
the angle of open pit slopes. One of the necessary measures to increase the pit walls
stability is to decrease the depth of the EDZ extent to 1 m in benches by a smooth blasting
technique applied in formation of the final pit outline.

ABSTRACT
This paper describes the methodology for logistics of the design and construction of a
tunnel for ore transportation by belt conveyor from Primary Crushing Unit 3 to Primary
Crushing Unit 2 that are located in the NE part of the mine.
The rock massif in the project area comprises granodiorities of the same lithological type
differing in terms of rate of secondary alterations and disturbance.
2
The transport tunnel is 560 m long, is horseshoe shaped and has 10,6 m light cross
section. It has a north oriented axis and a gradient of 9 in the SN direction. Sections of
the tunnel from 0 to 280 m and from 440 to 560 m cross a natural rock massif. The middle
part of the tunnel crosses a technogenic embankment of highly compacted rock lumps.
The study started with an evaluation of the rock massif stress state in the region of the
Elatzite ore deposit and in the area of the tunnel using diagnostical methods and in situ
measurements.
The mechanical properties of lithologies have been assessed on the basis of laboratory
testing of borehole samples taken from the surface above the area. The evaluation of
geomechanical conditions and behaviour of the hosting massif is based on results obtained
through classifications RMR, Q and GSI method. The results of the above determinations
have been used to create a multi-index database for providing a pro-active logistics of the
project.
On the basis of the database and of the rock mass classes, the project zone was divided
into five sections and a geomechanical model of the Host Massif Transport Tunnel system
was constructed. Numerical investigations of this system were carried out to determine
the efficient methods of construction and support of the tunnel.
Finally, practical recommendations were given.

ABSTRACT
This paper presents comparative results of physicochemical characterization of limestone
Arandjelovac before and after modification of its original minerals calcite stearic
acid. Modification of calcite was carried out with two different procedures and a wet and
dry .
In order to monitor the change of the calcite surface modification that directly affect the
properties of limestone as raw material, following methods were used: the determination
of the degree of coverage achieved hydrophobicity as an indicator minerals, X-ray powder
diffraction analysis (XRPD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and microscopic analysis.
The results showed that the total hydrophobicity is achieved at a concentration of stearic
acid 1.5% in wet process, and 3% for dry with the results microscopic analysis in
accordance with the obtained degree of coating. On the basis of the infrared spectra, it
was concluded that there was no change in the position and intensity of most strip of
modified calcite relative to the base. Also, X-ray powder diffraction analysis showed that
the calcite after modifying stearic acid retains its basic structure.

v.jovanovic@itnms.ac.rs
ABSTRACT
This paper presents results of preliminary investigations of mechanical properties of
briquettes for agricultural purposes (calcification of acid soil) obtained from limestone
in laboratorial roll briquette press. Bentonite in various mass fractions to limestone (1-10%)
was used as the binding agent, while pressure between press rolls as well as other
parameters were constant for all the samples.
Impact resistance, resistance to pressure, abrasion resistance and solubility in water of the
obtained briquettes were investigated. Results presented demonstrate that there is no
need to produce briquettes containing more than 5% of the binding agent since it does
not cause any significant improvement of mechanical properties.

ABSTRACT
Millions of employees in the World are exposed to noise at work. Noise affects humans
both physically and psychologically, whose impacts vary from person to person. Block
cutting machine is one of the most important noise sources in the stone processing
factories. In this study, the assessability of the noise from the block cutting machines in
the stone processing factories using the physico-mechanical rock properties was
investigated.
The noise levels of some block cutting machines were firstly measured during the cutting
of the three different rocks. Then, core samples of the same rocks were cut by an
automatic cutting machine in the laboratory and noise levels were measured. A conversion
factor was obtained by dividing the site noise levels by the laboratory noise levels.
Then, fifty six different rocks were cut by an automatic cutting machine in the laboratory
and noise levels were measured. The physico-mechanical properties of rock samples were
also measured in the laboratory. The rocks properties and the laboratory noise level were
evaluated using the regression analysis.
Strong correlations were found between the laboratory noise level and the physico-
mechanical rock properties. The noise level increases with increasing rock strength, P-wave
velocity, and density. However, increasing porosity decreases the noise level. It was
concluded that the laboratory noise level for a new rock type to be cut can be estimated
using the reliable relations derived. Then, the laboratory noise level can be converted to
the site noise level using the derived conversion factor.

ABSTRACT
This paper presents results of investigations of the possibility of using Volujica -Ulcinj
limestone (Republic Montenegro) as filler in various industry branches. Micronization
methods, granulometric composition, oil and water absorption and degree of whiteness
were investigated, and chemical and thermal analyses (DT/TG) were performed.
Physico-chemical properties of this limestone classify it among high quality carbonate raw
materials with high CaCO3 content of 97.87%, as well as MgO content of 1.04% (2,18%
content of MgCO3) and low silicate content (SiO2 0.40%).
Its quality satisfies requirements of standards on using of calcium carbonate as filler in
industry of paints and coatings; paper industry; rubber and PVC industry; glass industry;
production of mineral fertilizers; foundry industry; sugar industry and metallurgy.
Due to the low degree of whiteness (81.65%) Volujica limestone cannot be used in
pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry. Due to relatively high content of heavy metals, Pb
(55 ppm), Cu (10 ppm), Ni (23ppm) and Cd (5 ppm), Volujica limestone cannot be used, in
production of cattle feed and for neutralization of acidic soils.

ABSTRACT
In 1994, however, the construction of the production of geothermal wells Lendava-2g (Le-
2g) in Lendava started to build the geothermal system for heating of residential and
commercial premises. Since then continual upgrading and the extension of the geothermal
system and the geothermal district heating Lendava city has been done.
Thus, Lendava became the first geothermal city in Slovenia where all the major users will
be gradually connected to the geothermal heating system. In 2007 after determining the
optimal location and the construction of relevant projects, a geothermal reinjection well
Le-3g was built in Lendava, the first of this kind and purpose in Slovenia. Project was
finished in 2011.
In Lendava the geothermal heating system for residential and commercial premises is in
2
the construction phase. Currently consumers are connected to the system of 45000 m
total heating. In view of the large energy potential available, at least 50000 MWht/year (in
the Δt - 30°C) gradually new consumers will be connected to the system.
At the same time, with the expansion of the district heating system network, a low
temperature system is being built as well. This will significantly increase the efficiency of
the entire system and thereby improve the economics of exploitation of geothermal
energy.

ABSTRACT
Nikola Tesla B Thermal Power Plant is part of the installed thermal power capacities
operated by Elektroprivreda Srbije. It was built on the right bank of the Sava River, some
50 km upstream from Belgrade. To generate electricity it uses coal, while the water
required for cooling of two installed units (each 625 MW) comes from the Sava River. In
addition to the existing two units, there are plans to build a third one with the capacity of
over 700 MW.
3
/s per thermal power plant
unit gravitationally flows back to the Sava River via overflow chambers.
Substantial water amount and available head of some 5 m provide realistic potentials to
use water power to generate electricity in a small hydropower plant. Installed capacity of
Small hydropower plant is 1,85 MW, and energy production is 16,19 GWh per year. This will
make possible the use of two types of energy, thermal and hydro energy, and achievement
of a common objective - electricity generation.
This paper presents a technical-economic analysis of electricity generated in the above
manner, i.e. by using two types of energy sources, coal and clean water power.

ABSTRACT
This paper deals with loaders-truck equipment selection problem for surface mines. In the
case of surface mine of mineral resources, the economic success of a mining company
depends mostly on the planning and control of transport costs. So far, many methods are
used for finding a compatible set of trucks and loaders such that the overall cost of the
mining companies is minimised.
The aim of this paper is to define an integer linear model for finding optimal solution set of
trucks and loaders. A numerical example is given to illustrate its application to solving the
real problems.

ABSTRACT
Assarel-Medet JSC Mining and Processing Complex is the first, largest and leading
Bulgarian mining company for copper ore mining which provides more than 50% of the
national and about 0.5% of the world production of copper, a metal vital for human
existence and development.
The Assarel-Medet Joint-Stock Company boasts with its 48-year old history. It was created
in 1991 based on the Medet Mining and Processing Complex which started its activity on
December 29, 1964 and was operational until 1994 and the Assarel Mining and Processing
Complex which was commissioned on December 6, 1989.
The strategic aim of our company is to achieve low cost price and high quality per unit of
produced copper, respectively high quality of produced concentrates and associated
products and services - utilizing the available mineral resources to a maximal extent and in
a most efficient manner, ensuring occupationally safe and environmentally friendly
operations.
Guided by this objective, the company is traditionally a pioneer in the country in
implementing state-of-the-art mining equipment and new technologies being a paragon of
high corporate culture.
As a part of the production circuit, technological transportation is a separate unit which
greatly predetermines open pit mining efficiency. This is the most dynamic, energy
consuming and costly technological process in any open pit.

BOOK OF ABSTRACTS
Considering the past experience with the used types of technological transport in open
pits such as trucks, conveyors and cyclic flow conveyors and their advantages and
drawbacks, it was established that a sufficiently high efficiency cannot be achieved for the
entire life of the mine if only one of these transportation types is used.
When reaching a certain depth in the pit, it becomes obvious that applying combined
transportation schemes is most effective. This is most often a combination of trucks and
conveyor transportation which form the basis of the so called Cyclic Flow Conveyor
System (CFCS).
The experience at the Assarel Mine proves that combined cyclic flow conveyor
transportation arranged based on the truck-conveyor technological structure is the most
efficient way to haul mining loads.
The analysis of delays, throughput, availability (Av.) and usability (Us.) during the various
periods of the complex mechanical system operation related to truck transportation and
cyclicl flow conveyor technologies demonstrates a good stability.
The results achieved throughout the 12-year-old operation of the devices provide the best
evaluation of the efficiency of the joint operation of the trucks and the Cyclic Flow
Conveyor System for waste haulage at the Assarel Mine. The decision to continue applying
these technologies in the future are the based on these results.

ABSTRACT
The mining industry in the process of development has been facing to numerous
uncertainties and risks having internal or external features which refer to the new as well
planning of mining production of semi-metal mines for lead and zinc are directly
connected to the amount of money invested, the methodology for making an investment
decision and carrying out the process of the management investing.
The investments as a determinant of the restart of the active mines coincide with the
investment decision. Decision theory makes difference between the independent and risky
of the active mines referring to the conditions of market working is performed by

simulation of activities using the methodology for making an investment decision.
The conceptual model is into a phase of development, it has been being developed by
using our general knowledge as well as built up by the discussions of other experts. The
presented methodology for making an investment decision through realization of business
of the mining companies has recognized developing strategies having long-term success
and overcoming of the risks in an optimal way.
The development of the presented model represents a system of qualitative and
quantitative expression of the conceptual knowledge model by the author, which is
supplemented by other experts opinions referring to the investment area.

ABSTRACT
A new generation of on-belt ash-meters and scales was designed by Analix, Bulgaria.
Accuracy, reliability, and stability are improved by a new high-tech electronics design and
software.
A Coal Quality Management System (CQMS) based on seventeen on-belt ash-analyzers (and
belt scales in same time) BCA-6 was built in the biggest Bulgarian coal open pits - Maritza
East Mines. The on-belt instruments are mounted directly on the twelve coal excavators
and at the end of the all five conveyor lines transporting coal to the three Thermal Power
Plants working in the same area. The analyzers are connected in radio net and information
is transferred on-line to the pit dispatchers and the staff in charge.
The benefits of using the CQMS come from meeting the requirements for a constant
quality of the coal delivered to TPP and from making use of the high ash-content coal.
Anticipated decrease of production costs for 1t of coal is 2-3%.

ABSTRACT
Each investment decision is followed by risks and uncertainties which depend on its complexity.
In particular, when it comes to construction of electricity generation facilities, there is a variety
of relevant factors significantly influencing the price of the generated electricity, as well as the
environment in general. In the case of coal-fired thermal power plants, the problem is even
more complex, especially when, due to lack of space, lack of transportation infrastructure,
unsuitable terrain, water supply issues etc., situating the potential thermal power plant in the
vicinity of the mine is questionable, or even impossible. In such cases, while the construction of
a new power plant near the mine shall result in higher capital costs, possible selection of a more
distant location with already existing infrastructure, shall often lead to increasing operational
costs due to the increased coal transportation costs.
Improved and objective cognition of such complex systems from a risk assessment perspective
is a must, in parallel with the notion to deliver rational and objective decisions regarding
levelized electricity costs and minimized environmental impact, whereby preserving safety and
reliability in-situ.
In the herein presented paper, the main goal is to identify the crucial factors (i.e. attributes) and
the corresponding indicators for delivering decisions relevant for site-screening and optimal
site-selection of a coal-fired thermal power plant. In particular, we focus on the mine specific
factors and their functional interdependence as part of a more generalized multi criteria
decision making (MCDM) concept for enabling selection of optimal alternatives for coal-fired
thermal power plant site selection, with minimized levelized electricity costs, while maintaining
minimal environmental impact.

ABSTRACT
Effective and integrated risk management sits at the heart of true business sustainability.
In the literature more and more papers are related to the synergistic effect of integrating
risk management and quality management while improving the performance of both
systems. The core of the new approach is the consideration of risk management as key
activity, associated to all decisions, the goal being to prevent negative risks and exploit
opportunities at all levels from strategic management and project management, to the
support of basic processes.
Quality is the measure of satisfying the requirements and achieving the goals, whereas risk
measures the weight of undesirable situations, i.e. deviations from the requirements.
Based on these premises, the study presented in the paper has specific objectives to
analyze the current state of the approach of relationship quality ‐ risk and to develop the
methodological framework to integrate the risk management into the quality
management.
Evolution of organizations today is characterized by rough competition, rapid changes and
uncertainty, so they are enforced to apply new concepts in management, where quality
and risk are considered to be key factors, being approached in various ways in all areas.
Management of risk is not only a necessity; it could be a strategic advantage.

ABSTRACT
So far in a series of countries the transformation of the economy was actively followed by
measures of reorganization and restoration of state enterprises, with the central point
being shareholding.
The specificity of the coal industry means great dependence of the work results on natural
conditions, increased dangers of mining production, low profitability and subventions.
Shareholding and privatization in integrated production enterprises of the coal industry
has been gradually introduced in many countries and it has gradually deepened and
expanded on account of appropriate accumulated experiences and reduced resource
support from the state.
Different models of shareholding and privatization which have been applied in former
socialist, developed and countries in development, can be a solid basis for the coal industry
of Serbia which is at the very beginning of the process.

ABSTRACT
In recent years mining designers, along with the challenge of managing mining activities
that are going always deeper and deeper, are faced with the challenge of adapting the
mining technologies with minimal impact to the environmental. Facing these challenges
requires a careful management of mining activities to fulfill the increased demand for
minerals and to achieve a successful mining activity.
This paper gives some opinions about mineral resources management as the only assets of
a mining activity. With some examples taken from our mines noted that the improvement
of parameters of mining recovery and quantity and quality losses is one of the targets to
be aimed for the realization of successful mining activities.

ABSTRACT
Mining economy, and spatially the economy of base metal ore production, is very specific.
Globally, the mining industry is followed by uncertainty, what differs from other industries.
Cannot have in the world, two same mines. Economic parameters for any mine are very specific,
so their quantification and categorization cannot be made easier. Data acquisition and their
processing usually are an expensive process and require in-depth knowledge related to mining
production.
Mining economy should always be the main decision making factor regarding what parts of
orebody should be mined, and what parts should consider temporary like a waste that will
remain in situ, while not changing economic condition in the market.
Economic conditions inside mine are in permanent changes. On the other hand, the mineral
amount inside orebody does not change, but can only change ore quantity with metal content
more than economic grade, defined as cutoff grade . Ore quantity with sufficient economic
value (or, calculated cutoff grade , depends on many factors, which should be considered in
the calculation. Mine production, except that should be over cutoff grade , must realize the
amount of ore which, after sales, would provide monetary income, sufficient to cover total
production costs. This point which determines limiting the level of ore production (at covers the
production costs), is called break-even .
For assessment of mining projects and operating mining economic parameters, actually are
developed several methods. Leading evaluation quantitative indicators are NPV, IRR,
Investment repayment time, Break - Even and qualitative indicator Cutoff-grade. In this paper,
will be treated some of evaluation methods, to contribute on the scientific and professional
approach to the modern underground mining management.

ABSTRACT
The results of the study of leaching solutions (in the further text: productive solutions)
from BUCIM mine treated with various neutralizing agents and combinations of two or a
number of neutralizing agents are presented in this work.
Leaching of copper with sulfuric acid is forwarded with the leaching of many other
elements which are present in the ores. Among the elements is Fe (III) which abuses the
2+
Cu
Ions in further processing in production of cathode copper. The main objective of the
researches is the elimination of Fe(III) ions from the solutions by precipitation in Fe(OH) 3.
So, this creates the positive effects in the cathode copper production.
With suitably chosen neutralizer, following effects are achieved:
- Raising the pH value to 4.0-4.5; and improving condition on the solutions for
further processing;
- Removal of Fe (III) ions from the solutions to a concentrations of less than 0.1 g/L;
- Economic effects
3+
In doing so, found the optimum pH, which allows maximum precipitation of the iron ions,

ABSTRACT
This paper presents a concept of secondary and tertiary crushing plant for processing of
limestone from Suvo Do deposits. It is based on Main Mining Project of the new plant for
limestone processing and production of limestone rock aggregates from Suvo Do Joint-
Stock Company Jelen Do.
The basic problem which occurred while preparing the project of this plant was separation
of tailings which occur in useful limestone component during excavation. This problem was
solved within primary crushing on the grounds of analyses performed in laboratories of the
ITNMS (Institute for Technology of Nuclear and Other Mineral Raw Materials), and after
that in plant itself.
The paper presents equipment installed into secondary and tertiary crushing plant, as well
as the way to obtain final products of rock aggregates according to size classes.

ABSTRACT
The polymetallic barite ore is technologically very complex raw material from which is
possible to extract more useful components using the complex technological schemes.
This paper presents the technological testing of two samples of the polymetallic sulphide
barite ore, in order to obtain a barite concentrate as well as a collective concentrate of
sulphides. The testing is performed using the gravity and flotation concentration methods.
Gravity concentration was carried out on a shaking table, as a pretreatment of flotation
concentration method. The results have shown that gravity concentration is not suitable
method for the processing of this type of ore. Flotation concentration gave better results,
but additional optimization of technological parameters is still required.

ABSTRACT
Flotation tailing Veliki Krivelj is formed in the vicinity of open pit Veliki Krivelj, near Bor in
Serbia, and it is in function since the begining of open pit exploatation. Field1 of flotation
tailings was formed at first and it matached the required capacity. For water evacuation of
the Krivelj River, a tunnel was built through the rock massif with the route from the left
bank of the original watercourse.
The tunnel has diameter of 3 m, and its length is 1414 m. In 1990 the flotation tailings
expand by building Field 2, as an additional space for dumping, formed in the bed of the
Krivelj River. To regulate the Krivelj river flow in the tailings area, was built the collector
length of 2075 m, which is a continuation of the existing tunnel.
Long years of exploitation affected on state of current collector, which is presented in this
paper. In addition, the appearance and impact of seepage water at dams, have affected
their stability. All this indicates that the constant monitoring of flotation tailings dams and
collector needed because the consequences of flotation tailings dam overflow and
destabilization collector can cause large-scale environmental disasters.
This paper describes the current state of collector under the flotation tailing dump Veliki
Krivelj , and state of flotation tailings dams, based on monitoring program auscultation
between June 2011 and June 2012.

ABSTRACT
Base metals like lead and zinc are the fourth respectively the fifth in the world talking
about their use. In two last years, the relation supply/demand of these metals is obviously
disordered in favor of raising demand, and this has caused an enormous variety of prices
for base metals in the market.
From the other side, the region of Balkan is relatively rich with ore deposits of these
metals. Changes and transitions which happened through 90-ties destroyed the mining
production which still is not erected.
The European Union after year 2000 approved some regulations with which are prescribed
the framework of sustainable development of the mining sector. Besides, in the past there
were built metallurgy capacities for Pb and Zn, which today but also in a certain future will
not easily face with European frameworks, but will also not have sufficient concentrates
for their own processing capacities.
In this paper there has analyzed the actual situation in primary ore and concentrate
production and is estimated the expected perspective of ore and metal production, always
seen from the point of view of European requirements for sustainable development.
The need for a closer cooperation in between ore-processing and metallurgy units in the
region, with the purpose of full rationalization, to effectively solve the environmental
problems and better financial circulation, appears as one of the potential and acceptable
options.

ABSTRACT
In quarries in which exploitation and capitalization of useful mineral resources is carried
out, as in stone quarries, the most used blasting techniques are the ones that use auger
holes or bore holes.
The general concept of a blasting plan or of a blasting monograph has to take into account
several factors regarding the adaptation of the explosive to the type of rock massif,
respectively the development of a maximum number of free surfaces in order to facilitate
the reflexion of shock waves that lead to the fissuring or displacement of the rock massif.
The blasting of an explosive charge located in the drilled hole into the massif has a lot of
productive effects, but others are non-productive.
Before starting the drilling of holes for blasting operations in an open-pit mine, or stone
quarry, the blasting is required to be designed, fact that has to be based on a good
knowledge of the field in which the work shall be carried out.
The quarry exploitation of useful mineral substances deposits by using the power of
explosives has an important negative impact on the environment.
Blastings have a solid impact on the environment, reflected by:
- Air pollution with dust and gases;
- Disposing of material;
- Achievement of an over-pressure in the aerial shock-wave front;
- Seismic effect development;
- Powerful phonic pollution.
Each of these elements has impact on the environment and there have to be developed
specific measures for mitigating the impact, so that the influence parameters to range
between acceptable limits.

ABSTRACT
Arsenic is a toxic element recognized as one of the main contaminants of mine waters and
ultimately can cause deterioration in the quality of groundwater and surface water bodies
in the vicinity and downstream of the mining facilities. Serbia has a long history of mineral
resources exploration and mining. Many of these historical mining sites are affected by the
AMD (Acid Mine Drainage) processes which lead to uncontrolled discharge of the mine
waters enriched with arsenic and other metalloids and heavy metals. In a period 2009-
2012, regional scale sampling campaign was conducted as a part of a Study of possible
negative influence that these waters may have on the environment.
Mine waters from Cu, Pb-Zn, Fe, Au, Sb, Bi, and Mo deposits were sampled at 41 abandoned
mining sites. Total of 60 mine water samples were analyzed. According to the pH values,
60% of mine waters are in range of 6 - 8, while around 40% are acid waters with pH below
5. pH value is significantly correlated with TDS and metal content. In cation composition,
2+ - 2-
dominant are Ca ions, while in anion composition highest content have HCO3 and SO4
ions.
Arsenic concentrations in the analyzed waters cover wide range of values, with 40% of
samples having concentration above 10 µg/l. Highest arsenic concentration (up to 4 200
µg/l) were measured in mine waters tracing from abandoned copper open pit mine.
Analyzing the relation of arsenic with the content of heavy metals and pH value, no
significant correlation can be established. This points that the concentration of this
element is not strictly related to the mining sites affected by AMD, but mainly controlled
by local mineralization paragenesis, especially presence of arsenopyrite, enargite and
other As bearing minerals within the ore body and surrounding rock.

ABSTRACT
Through a small scale of geochemical and geoecological research through the flow of the
river Bregalnica, this paper will present the information about the character of the waters
of the river, the level of presence of hard and toxic metals, nutrients and the amount of
organic contamination.
These researches will define the condition and the presence of Fe, Mn, Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr, Co,
Cu, cyanides, detergents, organic contaminators in separate measurement locations
through the flow of the river Bregalnica.
During the realization of these researches, the first thing was the approach to determine
the required geochemical monitoring through the flow of the river Bregalnica.
When the conditions of the waters of the river Bregalnica are considered from the aspect
of presence of hard and toxic metals, it can be stated that all the measured parameters are
under the allowed concentrations with the exception of Arsenic and Manganum which
showed higher concentrations in separate measurement locations.

ABSTRACT
The paper will show the results of the geochemical tests on composite samples and
samples taken from boreholes made in the last few years.
2
Old inactive waste dumps occupy an area of about 0,39 km and contain about 10 million
tons of sterile mass, the mean depth of these dumps is 9,2 m. While in recent active dumps
are deposited around 4 million tons sterile mass.
The elements show different concentrations in grain - size different parts of the deposited
material. Pb, Zn and Mn show maximum concentrations in sandy part and slightly lower in
the clay part of the old inactive waste dumps Probistip.
Average content of Pb and Zn in sterile mass deposited in tailing dumps of mine Zletovo is
0,37% Pb and 0,32% Zn, so in the not too distant future exploitation could be done the of
these valuable components of this removed material with the proper technique.
The concentration of Fe in all composite samples from the boreholes is high, average Fe
content is 8.32% (from 7.09 to 9.54%). The concentration of Mn in sterile mass is also high,
ranging in the interval from 3.52 to 5.60%.
Also within the sterile mass deposited in the mine tailing dumps Zletovo some
accompanying metals such as Ge, Ga, Cd and In are present, whose application in the
course of history was not known so they were not exploited and concentrated in the sterile
mass.

The exploitation of coal from the Jiu Valley coal field is carried out by seven mining units,
namely: Lonea mining unit, Petrila mining unit, Livezeni mining unit, Vulcan mining unit,
Paroseni mining unit, Lupeni mining unit and Uricani mining unit. The general ventilation
of these mines is provided by the main ventilation stations which are equipped with axial
fans type VOD 3.0, VOD 2.1, VOKD 1.8 made in Russia, respectively with VAD 2.1 fans made
in Romania.
Following the carried out analysis, it is highlighted that the ventilation of each mine is
insufficient ensured, in some instances the main fan operating at maximum inclination
angle of the blades, with low air flows.
This paper work presents in detail the results obtained, as well as the required measures
that have to be applied in order to improve the ventilation of these mines.

ABSTRACT
Mining basin Kolubara is the largest coal producer in Serbia, with coal being mainly used
for electricity production in thermal power plants. Surface mining operations on coal
extraction degrade vast areas of land by open pit development, waste dumps and
infrastructural facilities.
Specificity of the remediation lies in the future use of op en pit cavity for various material
disposals. Available space will be used for overburden disposal, regional communal waste
dump, ash from the power plant disposal and disposal of excess gypsum from the process
of desulphurization of flue gasses from the power plant.
Since the open pit cavity is the disposal location for various materials remediation must be
adequate.

ABSTRACT
Flotation tailing dams affect the environment through the soil, water and air, and in that
way they affect the plants and the animals as well as the people.
This paper shows the quality of the soil according to the concentration of heavy metals in
the surroundings of Sasa mine, more precisely, the Kocani valley which uses water from the
dam Kalimanci. The dam receives water from the tailing dam of the Sasa mine.
The results indicate the occurrence of two geochemical associations: association As, Cd,
Cu, Mn, Pb, Zn, which is directly related to anthropogenic impact that comes with
problems associated with the exploitation of Pb-Zn polymetallic ore, which are exploited
in the area of Sasa - Makedonska Kamenica and in the region of Zletovo, and association
and Ni, Co, Cr, which is basically defined by the lithology or present geological formations
in this area.
From the examination of soils taken from the Kocani valley, it can be concluded that the
increased concentration of heavy metals in the western parts of the investigated area,
near the Zletovica, is not a consequence from the water from Lake Kalimanci but it is the
result of the influence thru Zletovo lead and zinc mine have on the surface and
underground water system Zletovica.
It can be concluded that the water of Lake Kalimanci are still not contaminated to the
extent that may endanger the soil system in the region of Kocani valley.

ABSTRACT
The flying ash and bottom ash from thermal power plants in the coal basin Kostolac is
disposed of at the Middle island of Kostolac location (further on MIK) on right side of the
bank of the Danube, near the town of Kostolac. In an area of 200 ha, three cassettes were
built (A, B and C) for flying ash and bottom ash disposal. The surface of the levee along the
rim of MIK is 59 ha.
According to the project, upon cessation of flying ash and bottom ash disposal, the area of
MIK is to be reclaimed. Multiple stages of reclamation are foreseen, the first stage being
the reclamation of the cassette A followed by reclamation of the remaining two. In this
paper the reclamation technology with implementation of an impermeable foil and
placement of fertile soil is displayed as preparation for biological reclamation.

ABSTRACT
Fly ash is a potentially important raw material which can be extensively utilized. Numerous
studies have been performed in order to find out application areas for the waste fly ash. In
all of them highlight the widespread use of fly ash as raw material for production of
ceramic tiles, glass industries, as additive in cement construction, in composite materials
and sintered material, in acidic spoil and coalrefuse revegetation, as a soil amendment etc.
Every year in Macedonia 900 000 1 100 000 t of coal fly ash are produced. Only 10% of
coal fly ash is used in cement products which are far below the global utilization. The restis
disposed into ash dumps or landfill which is an inconvenient solution both from the
environmental and economical point of view. The use of fly ash contributes to preserve the
natural resources and saves environment.

ABSTRACT
The abandoned areas, in chrome mine of Bulqiza in Albania, are created as result of an
underground exploitation of more than 60 years by open stopping mining exploitation methods
(Sublevel Open Stopping). During the prior underground exploitations in the area of Bulqiza
chrome mine, the abandoned areas are considered as technological waste, mainly in relation
with the need to abandon pillars of ore in order to guarantee the stability of entire
underground structure or as result of low content of Cr2O3. Another reason was the
impossibility of exploitation of such areas as result of difficult geological and mining
conditions. The identification is realized by the mapping of the entire area by the mine survey
of the Bulqiza mine, mainly in scales 1:200 and 1:500.
The resumption of mining of abandoned areas is related to the better conjuncture concerning
the price of chrome ore in the international market. In these conditions, it was necessary to
verify the existing graphical documentation and development works and to prepare the new
project of mining exploitation taking into accounts not only the existing underground
infrastructure, but also the possibilities offered by the application of new technologies. The
solution of problems encountered requires the commitment of technical and engineering staff
in an attentive study of all the factors influencing the resumption of the exploitation in order to
design more rational projects for the exploitation of the remaining ore reserves.
In reference to an experience of 4 to 5 years of use of these methods in the Bulqiza mine, in this
paper we intend to present the current situation and the recommendations for future
improvements.

All the tunnels are made of a limestone stone blocks. Before the reconstruction and
reengineering work started in September 2009 in all tunnels we had a lot of problems with
a trickle of the water. Because of that during the winter we had a lot of ice from the roof
and the side of the tunnels which mean high maintain cost. Oldness of the tunnels was the
reason of unsteady of the stone blocks who in the past fell out. The rock movement around
the tunnels in the past was the reason of many damage on the primary support.
The Slovenian Railway Company invests in reconstruction of that railway tunnels. The RGP
company made this reengineering works. The first part of the project finished in December
2010 the second part finished in 2012.
This paper resume the main reconstruction works in the tunnels, special is a use of new
waterproofing material masterseal 345 who was use the first time in Slovenia. The main
aim was the prevention of dripping water on the rails or overhead wires. The requirement
of the client was a solution with a minimum reduction of the free space inside. As solution
the above described sandwich construction consisting of:
- a smoothening layer of shotcrete
- masterseal 345
- thin layer of fibre reinforced shotcrete was applied. This measures where only
used in the roof area down to the vertical sidewalls.

In a rehabilitation context, flexibility and versatility often represent decisive factors for the
feasibility of a project. This system for rehabilitation involves the use of relatively thin
layers of high performance elements like durable and mechanically contributing sprayed
concrete combined with a spray-applied membrane. The quality of the workmanship and
quality control measures are therefore of significant importance.

ABSTRACT
The Mining Wastes are managed on the basis of European Parliament&Council Directive
2006/21/EU, of the date 15 March 2006, for management of extractive industries wastes.
General Objective of the Directive is to predict or diminuish, as much as possible, every
possible nega
consequence of mining wastes management.
consequence of accidents due to the waste tailings de

(deposing structures), (as in Aberfan (Wales 1966), Stava (Italy, 1985), Aznalcollar (Spain,
1988), Baia Mare and Baia Borsa (Romania, 2000), etj.). In Stava, Trento, by cracking
(subsidence) of thickening basin for fluorite tailings, were poured about 200 000 m3 waste
rocks. The accident caused 268 dead persons and breaking of several buildings. In Baia
Mare, breaking (cracking) of a thickening basin enabled that 100 000 m3 discharged waters
containing up to 120 tons cyanides and heavy metals to be poured in the River Lapus and
after to be passed in the Rivers Some and Tisa in Hungary, before entering in the River
Danube. In the Baia Borsa 20 000 ton wastes were poured in the Novat. The heaviest
accident in the history of Great Britain happenned in the Aberfan (Wales), at 1966, as
consequence of collapsing of wastes stockpiles extracted from a coal mine (colliery),
causing the dead of 144 persons, in most part of them children.
Second Reason is connected with ascertaining of an insufficiency in the control of
environmental hazards due to the mining wastes management in the member countries.
One of the great disquieties belongs to the future extension of EU by the canditate
countries of Eastern Europe (where makes part also Albania) where are met a great number
of mining zones where is lacking a proper environmental protection.
According to the European Environment Agency is calculated that such wastes constitute
about 29% of the total amount of wastes produced yearly in the EU countries (about 400
million tons per year).

ABSTRACT
Turkish mining sector produces more than 50 different types of minerals and some of them
are found in considerable amounts in the
economy has always been in restricted level. The mining law of 2010, numbered 5995 was
enacted to promote accerelated mineral exploration and development for local and export
markets with a commitment to attract foreign and private investment into Turkish mining
sector.
In Turkey, the State both acts through its own exploration and production establishments
and as a regulatory body to grant the permissions to explore and exploit minerals and to
supervise the activities in this field.
The new mining law, contains a number of improvements with respect to the
internationally accepted requirements for a modern mining law. It minimizes the duration,
simplifies the procedure of obtaining licences and provides additional supports for the
investors.
The Law No. 5995 amending Mining Law and Certain Laws, came into force in 2010 and
brought legislation unity to the mining sector, secured mining licenses, removed
preliminary operating license period and also removed certain obstacles and restrictions of
other legislations on the mining operations.
In this paper; the important aspects of the recently enacted pieces of mining legislation,
especially, mining law numbered 5995 will be discussed.

ABSTRACT
The Modern way of exploitation of dimension stone is offering possibilities, technologies
and methods for economical and high effective production of the final product into quarry
with surface exploitations. It is very important during projecting of mine for exploitation of
dimension stone to determine parameters of machines and technologies which may be
used for final definition which technology is going to be used.
Until now known methods for exploitation of dimension stone are offering many varieties
for making choice of technology and machines which can be used for exploitation of
dimension stone. Technical characteristics of the chosen machines given by the
manufacturers, but also and experience data from using those machines in other mines are
offering possibilities during determining of technology and machines for exploitation of
dimension stone.
During the process of deciding which technology is going to be used, there is appropriate
usage of multi criteria methods for optimization.

ABSTRACT
Power production in Macedonia is largely dependent on coal. Thereby, discovering new
coal resources is not only a state necessity but a crucial ingredient in the process of power
production in MPC Bitola . In that respect, a viable example of system which will provide
coal reserves for future exploitation is the Drainage System of 19 wells equipped with
submersible pumps and 9 wide-area subterranean water measuring stations located at the
coal mine Suvodol , which is a part of the Mining Power Complex Bitola .
It has been noticed that the existing remote aspect of such a system has been making
difficulties in its continual exploitation and troubleshooting. Therefore, a custom made
automation system has been made for remote control and monitoring of the drainage
system (SCADA).
In order to fully satisfy the new requirements, a complex electronic system for control and
monitoring on each of the well stations has been installed consisting of frequency inverters
for variable speed control of the pumps, programmable logic controllers, wireless
communication devices and process instrumentation: ultrasonic clamp-on flow-meter,
water level transmitter and water quality analyzer.
The technology of lowering the sub-terrain water level imposes applying a cascade PID
regulation which provides the needed flow and constant sub-terrain water level for a
longer period; by means of constant adaptations of the pump-motor frequency.
The water level monitoring on the whole radius of influence of the well stations is made by
9 piezometer stations equipped with wireless device, PLC and water level transmitters.
All of the important signals which give information for the actual state of well stations and
the water level in the surrounding area are being transmitted to the main dispatching
center in the coal mine by means of wireless link at a 5 GHz band.

BOOK OF ABSTRACTS
The SCADA system is custom made and purposely developed for the need of this system.
The drawings represent the actual geologic profiles depicted in proportion of the terrain
which is subject of drainage and its coal layers position underground. The pictures are
dynamic and change in real-time. All of the states, as technology events, real-time
measurements, warnings and critical alarm states are displayed to operators, which is of a
great advantage in the continuous well exploitation.
This system as a whole is of great significance for the future lifespan and exploitation
period of the coal mine Suvodol .

ABSTRACT
According to valid legal regulations, during closing of a surface excavation, the owner is
obligated to prepare a project on surface excavation closure, i.e., arrangement of the
terrain and change of its purpose. The design solution depends on the location of the
excavation, the extent of degradation as well as the natural geomorphological and
climatic conditions. The purpose of the terrain also depends on the age and social map of
potential users of the re-cultivated area.
The paper contains a few original solutions for the quarry location on Frushka gora. The
abandoned quarry is situated within a national park. Each solution is original according to
design, paths and plant material. During the arrangement of the terrain, care for the
proper use of design of structures, construction and plant material and their fitting into
the landscape was not always taken.
A comparative analysis provides general criteria for the arrangement of the surface
excavation of non-metal mineral raw materials. The specific criteria refer to surface
excavations in the national park Frushka gora and application of landscape arrangement.

ABSTRACT
Kozjak by the regional road Velenje-Slovenj Gradec. The location of the quarry does not
represent a major disruption to the surrounding area with the impact of mining. The
largest negative impacts on the environment are dust, noise and vibration. These negative
impacts from mineral excavation in the quarry Paka we successfully minimized with the
use the best drilling and mining machinery, use of appropriate types of explosives and
sophisticated means of initial NONEL.
Mineral extraction in the quarry Paka is carried out by massive blasting. The exploitation
solid mineral we transport with a trucks to filling the bunker of primary crusher at the
processing plant. The total extraction area is divided into 12 terraces of excavation. Basic
plateau is located at the altitude of +460, the highest point is on the bench +625. Overall
height is 180m. Ranges of terraces are between 15 and 20 meters.
The basic activity of the Paka quarry is the acquisition of stone aggregates for the
production of all types of concrete and mortar (even the most demanding), ballast gravels
in road construction for high loads and stone for coatings in acquatic buildings or other
construction works. The main services comprise: acquisition of stone aggregates from 0 to
1000mm, deep drilling and blasting, demolition and recycling of waste building materials.
This paper resume an exploitation works of solid mineral resources in Paka quarry.

ABSTRACT
world are climbing
up by steep trend line. It is the tax we pay to live normal life in a world where everything is
dependent and rely on some sort of energy source, and on every step of the way there are
more and more consumers of energy. In order to meet the requirements of this tendency
of increased energy requirements, especially of electrical energy, opening new capacities
for generating the most needed energy is a must.
In Macedonia, it is well known fact that the production of electric energy, in percentage
approximately 80% comes from incineration of the coal within the thermal power plants
from the mines in active exploitation, which are coming to an end of their coal resources.
As a solution to this problem comes into view the opening of new coal mines. One such a
solution is offered by opening the underground coal mine Mariovo , in the region of
Mariovo, some 40 km southeast of Prilep, which is planned with annual capacity of
2.000.000 t of coal, and life cycle of approximately 33 years (30 years of active
exploitation).

ABSTRACT
Opening and building up of the new coal mines, construction of the new thermo blocks is a
big investment project and represents an imperative and turn over in the development of
Electric power industry of Serbia.The condition for the maintenance of the present level of
coal production and capacity enlargement of the new thermo blocks is opening and
building up open cast mines Veliki Crljeni, Field E, South Field and Radljevo.
The future open cast mines will have considerably bigger and more complex problems for
opening and building up in comparison to all the other open pit mines which have been
opened in Kolubara open mines up to now. First of all, bed separation of coal seams series,
great depth of occurrence, significant hydro geologic ground water,with the important
infrastructure object which occupy the area, are the only basic parameters which show the
real problems of new open pit mines. Open pit mine South Field itself with all the problems
it comprises, is the biggest challenge for the designers and the executors of work.
The limitation of open pit mine South Field has been carried out based on the
consideration of the complete coal layer ( geological f
Tamnava East Field ), and also based on the position of the important infrastructure
objects and coal quantities required for the supplying of electric power plant.
By analyzing of the front development on the overburden and coal, as well as stockpile
capacity for waste in two variants of vertical division, it has been is decided to excavate
only overlaying and coal groundmass, while the substratum is not going to be dug out. The
main reason for defining of the open pit boundary depth in such a way is the lack of
stockpile capacity for overburden dumping.

ABSTRACT
The Kosmaj-Babe ore field area lies within the Vardar Zone of Neogene carbonate-
replacement and epithermal Pb-Zn-Ag and porphyry Cu mineralization.
Host rocks comprise Upper Jurassic to Lower Cretaceous sandstone, siltstone, marl and
limestone overlain by an Upper Cretaceous flysch sequence. Sedimentary rocks are
intruded in the north by granitic stocks and dykes and in the south by rhyolitic to quartz
latite dykes and sills.
Historical works within this area dates back to Roman times and is recognised at surface by
shallow, circular pits and slag deposits. A numerous (5,000) ancient mining shafts are
recognised within the area.
The mineralization occurs as veins and stratabound replacement of the Cretaceous
carbonates and is spatially associated with intrusive quartz-latite dykes and dacitic
volcanic breccias. The mineralization proximal to the breccias is enriched in gold, and
marked by arsenopyrite and intense silicification of the host marls and limestones.
Lead and zinc sulphides together with pyrite occur distally from the intrusive contact, but
are also associated with intense silicification of the host carbonates. The ore mineralogy
includes argentiferous galena, sphalerite and pyrite with accessory chalcopyrite,
arsenopyrite, tetrahedrite, marcasite and gold.
Remodelling of the historic drilling data and validation drill holes indicate that the
tonnage and grade of the historic resource are about 6Mt (with 4% Pb, 2% Zn, 0.2% Cu,
131g/t Ag and 0.15g/t Au). These data show the potentiality of this area for future
exploration and discovery of new deposits.

ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of the geological and chemical research of Diatomaceous
earth in the deposit Veshje near by Negotino.
The deposit - Veshje belongs to Tikvesh basin which is situated in the central part of Vardar
zone. This rich and numerical representation of diatomaceous flora and conditions that
were present in the upper lake basin during Pliocene are actually the major factors for the
formation of productive layer of Diatomaceous earth.
Productive diatomaceous horizon appears in a form of a layer, with a length of 1-2 km and
a thickness of 0,6 - 1,25 m, tending to form a spike towards the peripheral parts of the
basin. Immediate layers above and below of the productive horizon are the andesite tuffs
and agglomerations.
Based on chemical analyzes made done on Diatomaceous earth from Veshje, it resulted in
the following content: SiO2 - 78.40%, Al2O3 - 6.40% CaO - 2.20% and Fe2O3 - 2.60%. Under
this structure, Diatomaceous earth is a quality mineral resource which can be applied for
filtration, thermal insulation and many other uses in industry and construction.

ABSTRACT
The drilling of the wells and the results obtained as well as the results that will be obtained
in the future by drawing water from the wells will serve as a basis for the development of a
Drainage Design at the surface excavation of Suvodol, REK Bitola. Especially important are
the results obtained from the individual and group testing of the well, which helped us get
data on the yield of the wells, based on which corresponding submersible pumps were
chosen and later installed in all of the wells.
Based on the capacity of the wells, the future Designer is recommended to take into
consideration and analyze the possibility for drilling of drainage wells with somewhat
smaller technical performance compared to the already drilled ones.
This study will present the hydro geologic characteristics of the formed aquifers, the scope
of the on-site work, the well drilling methodology and a corresponding conclusion.

ABSTRACT
Differential behaviour of Pb-Zn-Cu ore in milling and consequent of these minerals are
confirmed in this work. The characterization of textural properties of minerals is closely
related to the process of their respective liberation. Relative milling properties of minerals
in the given ore are determined during the comminution, and the optimum liberation
degree is established for each mineral.
The result of tests aimed to improve the recovery and the grade of galena, marmatite and
chalcopyrite concentrate in flotation plant Rudnik are presented in this paper. The
Rudnik deposit is made of the complex Pb-Zn-(Cu-Fe) ore that becomes poorer and of
more and more complex texture depth of exploitation increase.
The methods of ore microscopic analysis were used during the realization of technological
(and laboratory) tests. The data collected from certain processing phases in the flotation
plant served as an explanation for the causes of certain behaviour patterns.
By using the method presented, the assumption that the chemical analysis as a tool for
raw material monitoring during the flotation concentration is simply not sufficient was
confirmed, especially for very complex texture and poor sulphide-oxide ores.

ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of the detailed field and laboratory investigations of gabbro
from the locality Pantelej. These investigations are conducted in order to determine the
mineralogical-petrographic and technical characteristics of gabrro in order to use as
construction stone.
The main minerals that build rock are plagioclase and pyroxene.
Pyroxene is the dominant mineral in this sample, and it is represented by about 80%. In
most pirochsene crystals are occupied with the process of metamorphosis - uralitisation
where they transform to amfibol type: actinolite- tremolit and uralit.
Plagioclase in terms of pyroxene is present in smaller quantities and represented
approximately 20%. It occurs like allotriomorphic to hypidiomorphic crystal belongs to
basic plagioclase.
For the determination of the possibilities for the exploitation of this gabbro as
constructing- technical stones, were carried out mineralogical - petrographic and chemical
research, as well as, determine the physical - mechanical characteristics of the samples of
these rocks. These performance show that they be able to find wide application in the
construction as crushed stone for constructing for making of all types of concrete and
asphalt.

ABSTRACT
At the surface dig site Klenovnik in the coal basin Kostolac mining operations are being
shut down.
The projected solution of reclamation, revitalization and landscaping of the area degraded
through exploitation, plans for natural function restoration - agriculture and foresting. As
a part of this complex a mining museum is planned in the northwestern area on a surface
oh 4.4 ha. According to the concept solution, the museum complex encompasses three
set-ups: in the open, in the pavilion and underground set-up.
Estimates are that the museum will be very attractive for visitors not only for its contents,
but also for its proximity to the archeological-museum complex Viminacijum , an
excellent geogr
of Danube. This paper displays the concept solution of the museum.

ABSTRACT
The dynamic changes in the society and the complexity of the problems which the
employees face every day are causing changes in the knowledge, the skills and the
competencies of the employees and the professionals, that necessarily reflects in the
vocational education and training. The development of the society and the economy
requires educational system that will provide knowledge, skills and competencies that are
needed or required on the labor market.
The work in this paper pays special attention to the specific knowledge and skills that the
students in the high school vocational education will gain, specifically the students
studying the mining geology and metallurgy vocation. Until now, the high school
vocational education was working with teaching programs that were 20 years old, and
were mainly focusing on educating the teachers how to convey the teaching material for
the students to gain the necessary education as a main priority.
This paper is an addition to the old teaching programs and the main priority in the
elaborated reforms are the students and what they should learn at the end of each class.
The studying results from the teaching programs are defined and they are clear record of
the knowledge, the skills and the professional values which the student must possess and
acquire for successful completion of the teaching program for the specific subject.
The elaborated reforms represent the transformation towards more modern educational
system. In this paper they are presented through several major concepts [2]:
- Changes in the concept of knowledge that is defined as a complicated structure
from theoretical knowledge (declarative and metacognitive), skills, procedural
knowledge and human attitudes;
- Changes in the concept of learning where more important is the development of
the knowledge at the student instead of the way that the teacher conveys the
teaching material;
- Emphasizes the active role of the student;
- Introduction of the mentoring role of the teacher;

- Inserting tasks including solving problems, project works etc.;

By using funds from the twinning project Support to the modernization of the vocational
education and training system in cooperation with the Slovenian partner, the reforms in
the high school vocational education have started. A total of 13 vocations for the second
and third degree of education are covered with a total of 47 profiles. Using the reforms
elaborated in this paper new curriculums have been developed for the profile mining
machines operator.
