Kursk magnetic anomaly. Kursk region
Kursk Magnetic Anomaly (KMA) - is the world's largest iron ore basin. There are deposits of around 200-210 billion. Tons, accounting for about 50% of iron ore reserves on the planet. Borders stocks extend to 160 sq. M. km. Mikhailovsky deposit KMA developed since 1960 and is one of the leading Russian producer of iron-ore raw materials.
The volume of proven ore reserves of over 11 billion. Tons, which is sufficient for the company entered on the capacity for over 300 years. Mikhailovsky Mining and Processing Plant produces about 20% of domestic iron ore, accounting for 25% of total Russian production of pellets.
Extraction of ore occurs in three pits (South, Central and North) with a total length of about 6 km and a width of about 4 km.
In the initial stages of production are carried out so-called stripping - removal of soil from sedimentary iron ores using draglines. At the next stage the drilling depth of about 10 m in ores, which are laid explosives. Produced blast and blasted ore digger puts on the dump trucks "BelAZ". Dump trucks transporting ore to the warehouse where her ship in trains. Next comes to mine ore, where the processing of raw materials. For an overview of mine formally established observation deck.
At the entrance stands a monument and listed data on volumes of production over the past 50 years.
We came closer, you have to be careful.
With the official viewing platform.
Panorama
The rise of rock produced as BelAZ and by rail.
For trucks roll out excellent tracks here.
Smoke. The opposite side is mine, where the pipe goes from pink smoke.
Oden Rubinar 500 mm poizuchat details.
On loading work draglines, each the size of a five-story building.
Drilling rigs, for blasting.
Cab, larger.
Raking in the bucket.
We drive on the other side of the quarry.
It offers a slightly different look.
There quite shallow (relative Korkino, for example).
You are downloading.
In the middle of the quarry there is a certain "island", which is clearly visible in the photo.
The upper level of the railway line.
Racing BelAZ ...
This took the lead, perfectly passes turns.
This poorly chosen approach path in the rotation, it is still necessary to call to the load.
Upload, the race continues.
Another participant of the races.
Somewhere on top of piles, also carry something.
And that comes down to the load.
A little bit of everything around turns green.
It's time to go on the way back.
