EVALUATION OF THE GEOLOGICAL RELIABILITY OF SURFACE MINING DEPOSIT

The optimal deeision theory and exploitation reliability of large scale mining area have been studied China since the late 1980’s. Researches have been earried out under the thought of mannature - machine system , and eneouraging results have been obtained. The reliability evaluation of mining engineering ineludes the rellability exaluation of natural resources, mining technology and mine economics ete. And the geological reliability of deposit, as a natural condition, is the basis of all other evaiuation works. The paper summarizes the method for evaluating the geological reliaoility of deposit, diseusces the reliability of estimating methods for coal reserves and coai quality, evaiuates the natural resourees rellability of the Pit 1 of Antaibao Surface Coai Mine, Pingsuo, Shanxi Province.which was taken as a case study.
