Geotechnical modeling of the method for mining cobalt deposits at the Bou Azzer Mine, Morocco
Purpose. The Bou Azzer Mine encounters difficulties during cobalt mining. In order to select the optimal mining sequence with the least geotechnical stability problems, one possible variant is the cut and backfill mining method used in the Bou Azzer East area at a depth of 540 m. Methods. This paper presents a methodology for selecting a sequence of the cut and backfill mining method using 2D geotechnical numerical modeling, taking into account the morphological characteristics, geomechanical properties of the ore and the surrounding rocks. Findings. The sequences of mining with rock backfill and rock-cemented backfill show that the high principal stress (Sigma 1) is in the range of 10-153 MPa, and the safety factors are in the range of 0.63-1.89. Therefore, mining sequences with cemented backfill and under cemented backfill have a principal stress (Sigma 1) in the range of 10-112 MPa and acceptable safety factors. Originality. In this study, the bottom-up mining sequence with a cemented backfill is proposed for the case of low-quality serpentine footwall. This mining sequence aims to achieve good cobalt mine production and provides a safe environment for miners. Practical implications. In the mining industry, the choice of mining method using 2D or 3D geotechnical numerical mo-deling is important to ensure the safest and most operational mining sequence in the mine lifetime.
