Sustainable Underground Iron Ore Mining in Ukraine with Backfilling Worked-Out Area

The present paper considers aspects of underground iron ore mining in Ukraine, particular the level mine production and reserves basic fields. It analyzes generalizes practice using cemented rockfill under difficult hydrogeological conditions Pivdenno-Bilozerske high-grade field. Belozersky district is only one Ukraine that, without any technological cycle beneficiation, can provide both domestic foreign consumers with high-quality raw as required by world markets. PJSC Zaporizhzhia plant extracts from field an content more than 60% low-waste, environmentally friendly technology backfilling mined-out area a hardening mixture. peculiarities for steep deposit main processes operations terms preparation, transportation, construction backfill mass its stability assessment are explained detail this paper. As result rockfill, rock provided, considerable part industrial waste disposed area, earth’s surface subsidence within prevented (in comparison enterprises other fields).
