Abstract
In underground mining of valuable non-metallic raw materials, non-ferrous and precious metal ores, the problem of overgrinding of raw materials as a result of blasting operations is quite acute. For ores of nonferrous and precious metals, represented by strong rocks, the effect of increased concentration of ore minerals in small classes of ore is characteristic. Due to the process of segregation of the mass in ore drawing, small fractions accumulate in significant quantities on the lying side of the mine goaf and on the roughness of its surface. Such ore is often simply lost. It is rational to create conditions for reducing the yield of small fractions already at the stage of separating the ore from the array. Therefore, the development of technological methods for managing the quality of mining enterprise products and methods for improving the completeness of extracting mineral reserves is an urgent scientific and technical task. To solve this problem, a number of model and full-scale experiments were conducted to identify the dependence of the nature of destruction on the method and parameters of blasting, followed by statistical evaluation of the results. The principles of determining the parameters of the technology for breaking valuable ores that are prone to overgrinding are established.

Summary
In underground mining of valuable non-metallic raw materials, non-ferrous and precious metal ores, the problem of overgrinding of raw materials as a result of blasting operations is quite acute. Overgrinding of valuable non-metallic raw materials leads to an actual decrease in the yield of concentrates or final products, due to sufficiently strict requirements of the mineral processing technology for the pieces conditioned size and structural safety of useful component. Due to the process of segregation [2] of the mass in ore drawing, small fractions accumulate in significant quantities on the lying side of the mine goaf and on the roughness of its surface. Such ore, with an increased content of a useful component, requires additional technological measures for its extraction or is lost. The development of technological methods for managing the quality of mining enterprise products and methods for improving the completeness of extracting mineral reserves in underground mining systems without the presence of people in the open mine goaf is an urgent scientific and technical task
