Abstract

A set of geomechanical studies was carried out to justify the angles of stable slopes of the Dzhetygarinsky open-pit mine, including testing the physico-mechanical properties of rocks, studying the structure of adjacent rock mass, determining the values of mining rock mass rating (MRMR) and zoning the open-pit surface according to Professor Laubscher’s classification. The values of slope angles of open-pit benches have been recommended and measures developed to ensure their stability. The factors affecting the adjacent rock mass most negatively were identified in classifying the rocks of open-pit mine surface. It was found that the effect of certain factors can be significantly reduced, which will increase the values of wall control angles while maintaining the proper degree of mining safety.
