| Description | This study concerns the application of DATAMINE software for planning the extraction of an ornamental granite located in Northeast of Brazil. The necessary input data consists of topography of the quarry and structural features of the rock mass, including joints, dikes, veins, faults, inclusions, and alterations, as well as size of blocks and quarrying method. From the quarry plan it has been possible to calculate the overall recovery of blocks, the volume overburden and waste rock from trimming and fragmentation. The importance of geologic and geotechnical factors for planning ornamental granite quarries is emphasized in the conclusions. This chapter deals with the application of DATAMINE software for planning the extraction of an ornamental granite located in Northeast of Brazil. The necessary input data consists of topography of the quarry and structural features of the rock mass, including joints, dikes, veins, faults, inclusions, and alterations, as well as size of blocks and quarrying method. DATAMINE is a software specialized for mineral engineering, covering exploration, surface and underground mining applications. For general mining planning DATAMINE Release 5 adopts the basic concept of geologic blocks modeling. In the specific case of ornamental rocks blocks modeling should employ specific control parameters, such as: commercial size of blocks, mining method, structural features, including joints, faults, foliation, planes of cleavage, inclusions, mineralogi-cal patterns, release joints, among others. After modeling the rock mass, control parameters related to mining and structural geology of the rock are added to the input data. Book Name: Mine Planning and Equipment Selection 2000 |
