Dilution, 3D modeling using geomechanics

Dilution Control: 3D Modeling with Geomechanics at the Suzdal Mine

This presentation focuses on the application of 3D modeling and geomechanical analysis to manage and reduce ore dilution in underground mining operations at the Suzdal mine. It will demonstrate how integrated geological and geomechanical models help predict rock mass behavior, optimize mining parameters, and minimize the inclusion of waste rock in the extracted ore.

The talk will also present practical cases showing how 3D modeling improves mine planning accuracy, reduces dilution and ore losses, and enhances the overall safety and efficiency of mining operations.
