METHOD FOR AUTOMATED COMPLEX DEVELOPMENT OF ORE AND NONMETALLIC DEPOSITS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC E21C41/26 

FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: method involves general-purpose robot-aided mobile complexes for production, extraction, preparation and processing of mineral raw material and concentrates, a unit of automated control of operation of a mining mill, a technical system for advancing, current and prompt reception of mining and geological information. Fully automated reception of mining and geological information is performed based on build-up of a digital model using a software, cyclic-flow destruction of hard rocks and half-rocks by means of a safe shallow blast-hole drill-and-fire system and flow-through soft rocks - by means of a mechanical method, adaptive and deep differentiated separate mechanised extraction and loading of mineral and rock mass of different categories, types and grades, through-type separate ore preparation in all technological operations, selective primary benefication of mineral raw material using an adaptive gravitational technology and a physical and chemical combined technology, separate processing of concentrates at the final stage using metallurgical methods.

EFFECT: improving development efficiency of small ore and non-metallic deposits of gold, lead, stannum and other mineral deposits.
