APPLICATION THE SOFTWARE PACKAGES WHITTLE AND GEM-<<strong>br</strong> />

COM FOR CALCULATION THE BALANCE RESERVES OF COPPER<<strong>br</strong> />

ORE IN THE SOUTH MINING DISTRICT DEPOSIT MAJDANPEK ∗∗∗<<strong>br</strong> />

Abstract<<strong>br</strong> />

Application of software for calculation the reserves in a modern geological and mining science<<strong>br</strong> />

and practice enables the short term look at a number of variants and finding out the best solutions.<<strong>br</strong> />

The obtained results had satisfactory quality and accuracy, and according to the international<<strong>br</strong> />

standards.<<strong>br</strong> />

This paper presents the application of software Whittle and Gemcom for a (Code) of calculation<<strong>br</strong> />

the balance reserves of the deposits South Mining District Majdanpek.<<strong>br</strong> />

Key words: software packages Whittle and Gemcom, deposit, South Mining District Majdanpek,<<strong>br</strong> />

1. INTRODUCTION<<strong>br</strong> />

Balance reserves of solid mineral deposits<<strong>br</strong> />

are deposit parts that can be profitably<<strong>br</strong> />

mined by the existing techniques and<<strong>br</strong> />

technology.<<strong>br</strong> />

Balance of reserves is determined by<<strong>br</strong> />

prescribed techno-economic analysis.<<strong>br</strong> />

It is necessary to adopt previously the<<strong>br</strong> />

appropriate criteria for determining the balance<<strong>br</strong> />

of reserves, i.e. to adopt the limit values<<strong>br</strong> />

of some natural indicators, which relate to<<strong>br</strong> />

the quality of mineral resource and mining–<<strong>br</strong> />

technical conditions of exploitation.<<strong>br</strong> />

In a case of the copper deposits South<<strong>br</strong> />

Mining District, maximum depth of exploitation,<<strong>br</strong> />

maximum allowed value of<<strong>br</strong> />

overburden ratio and minimum, i.e.<<strong>br</strong> />

maximum average content of useful components<<strong>br</strong> />

in deposit are very important for<<strong>br</strong> />

determining the balance of reserves.<<strong>br</strong> />

After previous development the block<<strong>br</strong> />

model of deposit as well as determined<<strong>br</strong> />

initial parameters (costs of exploitation and<<strong>br</strong> />

processing, losses, dilution, investment and<<strong>br</strong> />

price of final products), it is possible to<<strong>br</strong> />
