Improving the Prospective Design of Mining Based on the Promotion Modern Software and Hardware and Technical Means of Monitoring and Control

New approaches to mining engineering are needed in the context of growing volumes of mining and processing of poor hard-to-recover, poorly studied ores and increasing volumes of mining of overburden massifs that are variable in strength and structural properties. The transition to modern information technologies of mining planning, using block models of deposits, is one of the ways to improve the efficiency of design and planning of mining operations. At the same time, the process of creating and filling a block model with objective data on the structural and strength properties of overburden rock massifs is a big problem for mining companies. As the development of mining technology mapping of rocks on the basis of the advance of modern hardware and software, equipment monitoring and control using intelligent complexes drilling rig - excavator is a source of timely and reliable data, the replenishment of block model fields used in the of mining works design.
