Substantiation of uranium mining by ISL based on a geotechnological modeling

Abstract

This article focuses on the use of geo-technological modeling techniques for mine planning and optimizing the extraction of uranium reserves. In the course of the research, there is calculated a time to achieve 80% of the extraction of uranium from each predictive block within an ore-body. These results of uranium mining are analyzed for the entire field based on an annual uranium extraction from each settlement block, taking into account a target total production, the productivity of factory for the enrichment of productive solutions and requirements for the concentration of uranium in working solutions.
