Current concerns related to the research and exploitation of useful mineral deposits

Abstract

The profitable exploitation and beneficiation of the useful mineral deposits, under the economic circumstances existing worldwide require the attraction of most modern working methods and technologies in mining field. As a result, the present work presents the current preoccupations in the field of the deposit investigation and their exploitation and beneficiation. The focus is on the necessity to use more the geophysical working techniques for the deposit investigations and on the modernization and efficiency of the working methods and basic operations to be carried out within the mining industry: extraction of useful rocks and mineral from the massif, their loading, transport and stockpiling. There are also presented the current concerns and trends in the field of useful mineral processing. A suitable importance has been granted to the mechanization, automation and mining machine construction. The final part of work deals with the presentation of some conclusions regarding the possibility of modernizing the mining technologies.
