ELABORATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCENARIOS FOR THE EFFECTIVE DEVE LOPMENT OF VALUABLE MINERAL DEPOSITS

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to develop and validate methods of choosing the means of valuable mineral deposits. This paper describes a methodology for assessing deposits from both an economic and an environmental point of view. This article analyses existing methods of optimizing processes in mining. It is necessary to carry out not only economic but also environmental assessment. It was established that the effectiveness of the performance map of valuable mineral deposits is formed by a group of technological, ecological, operational, and environmental assessment which can be represented as a vector of solutions. To find the optimal solution, it was suggested to use network models and graphs. The essence of the technique is to represent the input and output (production level, prime cost) resource
