Estandarización de los controles geológicos como soporte de la producción en la mina de oro Corihuarmi

Abstract

In the mining industry geologist estimate evaluates and assesses the resources and mineral reserves, however, it is unusually frequent presence geologist at the exploitation stage, although this paradigm has been changing in recent times by the complex context of the geological model , contrasting the results of the daily life of the mining operation with the overall estimate of the deposit, in which no estimate calculation so be it conservative or overestimated, may suggest the scale of the operation the presence or discontinuities of mineralized levels of mineralogical complexity, changes of their physical-chemical parameters of the rock (alterations, density, rock type, etc.) and / or variabilities of quality tonnage and grade of ore as a result of inadequate operational processes, involving us to suggest follow work procedures to efficiently control the selectivity of mineral and thus minimize dilution. In short, this thesis is to propose geological controls to support production in the different processes of mining, from sampling and geological mapping of banks and drills production scheduling drills long to test new resources and targets extraction in the explosion or fragmentation of the mineral, discrimination mineral_ clearance to finally optimize the loading and hauling until his discharge in cells leaching, so, these geological controls constitute important tools for mine planning and your geometric constraint of exploitation, conditioned by the larger scale of the initial geological model can be dynamically updated over time with new geological information generated short-term models close to reality the process of exploitation, so the mineral is extracted safety, quality, caring for the environment and at the lowest possible cost.
