Abstract

 This paper considers the issue of mining non-metallic (rock) products in the context of transition economies. Our studies have shown that interest in non-metallic products is growing every year, as evidenced by the growing volumes of production both around the world and in the group of countries considered in the article. The market analysis for non-metallic minerals has revealed the market development dynamics; however, its high monopolization may lead to some restrictions on free competition in subsoil use. In order to assess such monopolization, we have calculated the Herfindahl-Hirschman index for each non-metallic mineral mined in countries with economies in transition. We have found that the entire product range under consideration is part of a highly concentrated market dominated by the Russian Federation. We have presented some options for designing and introducing various kinds of arrangements to develop the mining potential of non-metallic minerals in order to reduce the dominant component of individual countries or companies and to balance the market. It is proposed to consider a partial transition from the possibility of developing deposits to an underground one — as an alternative option that harms the environmental load on the situation in the mining area. The results of this study will be used to conduct a detailed analysis in each country under review, which will provide the most complete picture of the mining industry in countries with economies in transition.

Abstract

The growing needs of mankind for minerals predetermine a systematic increase in the scope of mining operations. However, it is known that mineral resources are not evenly distributed in the bowels of the earth; therefore, due to their production, some regions of our planet can significantly outstrip other regions in their technical and, as a result, economic development; hence, the constant need to extract more minerals in order to develop the domestic industry and to strengthen the economy. This paper is devoted to the Central Asian states, their internal structure, economic integration into the world economy, and the mining sector development as the basis of a successful model for the development of the country as a whole. The study summarizes and analyzes the political system and socio-economic conditions in the Central Asian states. It presents a brief overview of the scale of mining operations; provides information about the mining industry structure in each country and the proceeds from its sales. Taking the Central Asian states as an example, we demonstrate the importance of the mining sector as an integral part of a country’s domestic economic structure.

Abstract

The volumes of world gold mining were reviewed. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the proportion of placer gold is very insignificant. This is due to the fact that the most easily accessible reserves are substantially depleted, and the development of deposits with complex mining and geological conditions, including those located in the Far North, is economically impractical. To solve this problem, a method was proposed for isolating the dredging open-pit from the effects of negative temperatures by a hangar-type structure. Similar structures used in the mining industry were considered. Calculations of the dimensions of the structure that allow for safe manoeuvring of the dredge were presented. The data on the duration of the dredging season when implementing the proposed solution in the conditions of the Far North were provided. A method of protecting rocks from freezing when using this technology was proposed. The technical and economic indicators confirming the effectiveness of the implementation of the proposed solution were presented.

Abstract

The paper discusses the environmental impact of industrial minerals mining. Research shows that interest in mining of industrial minerals increases year by year, and their demand and consumption will steadily grow. The market conditions are favorable for developing new fields. Both opencast and underground mined minerals are most popular these days. The industrial minerals market analysis indicates its dynamics, but the high monopoly degree of mining of certain minerals causes some restrictions on free competition in subsoil use. At the same time, environmental issues raised at the level of world power governments are not reflected in legislative documents. We raise the possibility of partial transition from opencast mining to underground one-as an alternative that carries environmental improvement of a mining area.

Abstract

The extraction of mineral resources from the bottom of the continental shelf is presently becoming very promising in terms of their current depletion on the continents. However, the development of the mineral resource base of the world ocean requires the creation of specialized equipment and technological schemes for its use. Such equipment should ensure safe, environmentally friendly, trouble-free operation in difficult hydrosphere conditions. One of the innovative ways of such development is the use of autonomous mining vehicles. The most energy-consuming part of the work of these vehicles is the process of lifting the loaded vehicle to the surface. This article discusses the optimization of energy costs for lifting an autonomous mining vehicle from the bottom of the continental shelf with the use of gases formed during the detonation of explosives.

Abstract

Artisanal and small-scale coal mining (ASM) in Africa presents a complex challenge where environmental conservation and socioeconomic development must be carefully balanced. This article explores the intricate dynamics surrounding ASM in the African context, highlighting the multifaceted impacts on the environment and the socioeconomic well-being of local communities. Artisanal and small-scale coal mining is often characterized by low capital investment, limited mechanization, and dependence on manual labor. Despite this, miners face numerous problems due to the unstable socioeconomic situation and weak labor legislation. The article describes the practice of ASM in Africa: provides an overview of the growing significance of ASM in Africa, and sets the stage for understanding the intricate trade-offs faced in managing this sector. The development of ASM in Africa is examined, considering its historical context, drivers, and patterns of growth, emphasizing the need for context-specific approaches to address its complexities. The article delves into the environmental challenges posed by ASM, focusing on deforestation, land degradation, water and air pollution, and the loss of biodiversity. It examines the specific manifestations of these challenges in selected African countries, shedding light on the varied ecological consequences and their ramifications for sustainable development. Additionally, the socioeconomic dimensions of ASM are explored, acknowledging its potential as a livelihood source for many communities while also recognizing the social and economic vulnerabilities associated with it. The article discusses the interplay between ASM and local economies, including job creation, income generation, and the broader implications for poverty alleviation and sustainable development.
