Deposit Type

  • VMS


Summary:

Artemyevsky is an operating underground mine exploiting a larg, high grade, polymetallic, gold and silver-rich VMS deposit. A number of different steeply dipping ore bodies have been identified in the deposit, the most important of which is the Main Orebody, with a strike length of 1,300 m and maximum thickness of 200 m. This is the sole source of ore at the present time, with working on the 7, 8, 9 and 10 Levels. The higher-grade but less continuous Talovskaya Orebody is located 50-150 m in the footwall of the main Orebody, while the Kamishinskaya orebody forms a protective pillar below an old open pit and to protect the underground workings from flooding.

There are further six orebodies that form series sub-parallel lenses gently pitching to the east of the Main and Talovskaya orebodies.

The ore showsa vertical gradation through the individual bodies of polymetallic ores at the top, barite/polymetallic ores, polymetallic ores, copper/zinc ores and copper ores at the base. There are copper rich mineralised zones below these orebodies within the footwall volcanics of the Tavolka formation.


Mining Methods

  • Cut & Fill
  • Blast Hole Stoping


Summary:

Access to the mine is through three vertical shafts and an adit from the mined-out Kamishinskaya Open Pit. Ore production is by drilling and blasting roadways 4 x 4 m or 15 x 10 m stopes with length varying up to 50 m. Monomatic drill from Finland are used for horizontal drilling and Atlas Copco Simba drills for Vertical fan drilling.

Blasted ore is loaded and hauled to an ore pass using TORO LHD with 3.2 m3 buckets. The ore passes are equipped with the grizzley bars and hydraulic rock breakers. The sized ore goes to the underground storage bunkers via a conveyor system and is loaded into 20 t EJC underground dumps trucks and transported to the surface stockpile. Another ore stream goes to the underground crusher for hoisting to the surface via an 8 m dia. shaft. 42 t Belaz trucks haul the ore from the shaft bunkers to an adiacent surface stockpile. From the stockpile ore is transported to the Nikolaevsky Concentrator by trucks. A part of this ore goes to the third party concentrator.

The mine utilizes mechanized blasthole stoping and cut and fill mining methods.

At Artemyevsky, grades and processing volumes will remain at around current levels, until extraction commences from the second ore body, which is expected from 2022.
