Kursk Magnetic Anomaly (KMA) - the most powerful in the world iron ore basin, the largest reserves of iron district in the world. Currently, about 30 billion explored. M. Of rich ores, promising rich iron ore reserves of the unique basin are many billions of tons. Located within the Kursk, Belgorod and Orel regions.
Mikhailovsky deposit and Mining and Processing Plant (GOK) is located in the Kursk region Zheleznogorsk. MGOK - gradoobrazuschee company Zheleznogorsk, is the second largest after the Lebedinsky GOK, located in the Belgorod region.
Population modern Zheleznogorsk is slightly less than 100 thousand. Man. JSC «Mikhailovsky GOK" produces 70% of the city budget, 30% of the population works in this venture.
MGOK is the second in Russia in terms of production of iron ore. In 2005, produced 18, 3% of commodity iron ore and 24% of iron ore pellets in Russia. The main consumers of products include plant Novolipetsk Steel (NLMK), Oskol Electric Steel Works, Chelyabinsk Electric Factory and others. The main importing countries ore - a country in Eastern Europe. Export geography Lebedinsky GOK wider: in addition to Eastern Europe is Japan and Canada.
Mikhailovsky Mining and Processing Plant.
Mining of Mikhailovsky deposit occurs in three quarries (South, Central and North), with a total length of about 6 km and a width of about 4 km. He began to develop in 1960. In a nutshell cycle of the following: at the initial stage is carried out with the removal of the sedimentary cover of iron ore using draglines. The next step is drilling (depth of about 10 m) in the ores, which lays the explosives. Then produce a series of explosions drilled block (100-150 tons of ore). Later blasted ore excavator (bucket load capacity - about 25 tons) were immersed for dump trucks. Dump trucks carrying ore to rudoskladu where it all loaded into trains. Next comes to mine ore, which is enriched, and from the produce pellets supplied to metallurgical combine.
1. MGOK own persona.
2. Pink smoke - the result of dry iron ore pellets.
Quarry
3. If you look at careers, "down", it appears a big lifeless pit.
4. Benefit olster28 brought with him a good optics ...
5. considered a career job "under the microscope».
6. Walking excavator size of a five-story building. Giant attracted in the initial stages - stripping operations. 25-ton ladle removes sedimentary cover with iron ore.
7. Walking excavators (also called draglines) produced at the Ural Heavy Machinery Plant (Uralmash) in Yekaterinburg.
8. In February 2007, "OMZ" (OMZ) and MC "Metalloinvest" agreed on the creation of a single industrial complex, combining the assets of "Uralmash" by OMZ, and JSC "ORMETO-YuUMZ" on the part of "Metalloinvest", which belongs MGOK.
9.
10. The maximum pit depth is 350 meters away.
12. It is difficult to imagine that at this point in the "pit" employs more than 100 pieces of heavy equipment.
15. All formulations carry ore to the mill.
16. Belaz unload ore, then it spread over the w / d composition. Japanese burly 120-ton Komatsu charted a path towards the minimum working activity
17. ... and seriously, without work on a career nobody will.
18. In a career working as BelAZ and Komatsu.
19. Those that pomassivnee - Japanese Komatsu, Belorussians more elegant and easier.
Hydraulic dump.
Waste mining and enrichment processes arrive in the hydraulic dump.
Hydraulic dump - hydraulic structure designed for the storage of waste rock (overburden, tailings concentrators, etc.). Jetting means. Hydraulic dump consists of levees, creating capacity, including a retention pond, devices for removal of clarified water and facilities for the passage of flood and storm water. Hydraulic dump satisfied in closed pits (goaf career, ravines, dams partitioned), on the plains with ridging dams on four sides, on slopes with the construction of dams on three sides.
Dimensions are striking. Approximate length of the hydraulic dump MGOKa is about 10 km. It is 10 km from the quarry and 4 km from the plant.
22. shaky footing. If some time to stand in one place you can get bogged down.
23. Anthropogenic swamp.
25. The slurry is being driven at high pressure to the distribution manifold, which stretches for many miles around the perimeter of the lake.
26. From this comes the slag.
27. Remains of iron from tailings and further oxidizedup accumulate in puddles.
28. If we talk about anomalies, then olster28 we found one point in the territory of the hydraulic dump, which refracts the voice. Key has a metallic hue. Within the hydraulic dump breathing is difficult, so the distortion in the voice can be attributed to air sickness brain.
31. Anthropogenic soil in the context.
32. Processed tails form a nice pattern.
33. The closer to the water, the more dangerous.
34. A few tens of meters to the lake. Go further somehow uncomfortable.
35. In these places can be found intoxicated and foxes, and hares, and braid. Roe, getting syudya die. The pressure exerted on the ground hooves, too large to be able to get out.
36. It is said that the fishermen come here. That's really, really, Russian peasant - all after what.
