Prospects of Daschkesan iron ore deposit development

Abstract

The topicality the subject. To meet Azerbaijan's growing demand for ferrous metallurgical raw materials, there are sufficient reserves of iron ore deposits that can be put into industrial operation. These are related to the future development of the mining industry in the Daschkesan iron ore group, including the promising South-Daschkesan and Damirov fields. The re-exploitation of the Daschkesan iron ore group will have a positive impact on the socioeconomic development of the region, as well as strengthen the position of the mining industry and metallurgy in the country's non-oil sector. The resumption of Daschkesan iron ore production will also make an important contribution to the development of a number of by-products, improve employment in the regions, and create new and wider opportunities for local companies. The purpose of the study. In the rich areas of the Daschkesan iron ore deposit, due to the reduction of the amount of iron in the ores, the enrichment is the production of granules for the production of iron by the sponge method. Research methods. Along with the study, research and exploration of ferrous metal ore deposits in the territory of the republic, geophysical research and geological exploration work has been started for the re-commissioning of the Daschkesan iron ore deposit. The first 3-dimensional geological model of the Daschkesan iron ore deposit was developed using special software. The goal is to produce iron ore deposits in a short period of time and meet the demand for quality raw materials for the production of ferrous metallurgy products. Results. Considering that the use of wastes will increase the efficiency of field development, it is necessary to economically evaluate, sort and use metal-bearing wastes discharged into the Goshgarchay River during the enrichment of magnetite ore in the past as a valuable building material such as sand and gravel in Ganja region. It is planned to establish joint ventures with waste from mining enterprises and concentrators, slag from the pipe rolling plant, and waste from the Ganja aluminum plant. Conclusion. The future development of the mining industry in our country can be achieved through the complex use of iron ore deposits of the Daschkesan group, quarry waste, waste from the enrichment of magnetic ores.
