RESEARCH OF BAUXITE DEPOSITS FROM UNDERGROUND MINING WORKS
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2018, Vol 33, Issue 3
Abstract
The paper presents a new approach to exploring bauxite deposits from underground mining works in the bauxites area of Bešpelj near Jajce in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the area considered, bauxite deposits are being investigated and exploited over 60 years. Despite the high degree of exploration in the geologically intricate structures of Bešpelj there are numerous up to the unexplored reservoirs. Up to now, they have been mainly investigated by drilling from the surface into the wells net to dictate the legal regulations. Due to the increase in depths on which deposits are located and complex structural relationships, such research has become more and less effective. From the geological point of view, the bauxite deposits are in the horizontal position. But long-lasting geological evolution from the upper Cretaceous to the present, has led to deposits in very different structural positions. That is why we find them in a tilted position, in subvertical and vertical, and often in an inverse position. For further research to become rational and efficient, a new approach to exploring basement from underground mining works will be developed that will serve for exploration and then for the exploitation of bauxite deposits.
