English abstract

At present, new iron ore deposits with much more favorable mining and geological conditions than in Ukraine are being commissioned abroad. Factors that currently complicate the operation of iron ore pits in Ukraine are the significant amount ofstripping operations and the need to alienate large areas of agricultural land to place waste dumps. The purpose of this study was to determine the parameters of the most typical iron ore deposits, surface mining of which is possible in the future. The geometric dimensions and depositional conditions of iron ore deposits largely determine the main parameters of the open pit, its production capacity, development system, the method of opening-up and the key performance indicators. It was found that the stratified deposits are 82.5% of reserves of ferruginous quartzite and 83.3% of the total number of deposits, synclinal deposits - 3.3% of reserves and 8.3% of deposits, anticlinal - about 14% of the balance reserves and 8.3% of the number of deposits. 50% of ferruginous quartzite reserves are represented by deposits with a horizontal thickness of over 200 m. The performed mining and geometric analysis of iron ore deposits is the basis for the development of new surface mining technologies, which will ensure the costefficient development of ferruginous quartzite deposits with complex mining and geological conditions.
