ABSTRACT

Purpose. To substantiate the reasoning that before establishing temporary conditions of mineral raw materials for the Verbynsky molybdenum ore occurrence.

Research methodology. The study was carried out using general scientific and special research methods – theoretical (analysis, explanation, generalization, comparison), technical and economic assessment and the brute forcemethod.

Research results. The conducted research allowed to determine the optimal system of deposit development by a system of mining operations according to technical and economic considerations based on geological information from previous research periods and to establish the most influential modern factors of an ecological, legal and economic nature. The exceptional industrial importance of the mineral raw materials of the Verbynsky ore occurrence and the lack of alternatives to the complex mining of the deposit were substantiated. The radiation-hazardous location of the Verbynsky site was effectively included in the development system.The development system reflects a healthy mind and a careful, pragmatic approach.

The originality. For the first time, a development system has been substantiated for establishing conditions on a complex ore occurrence of a complex geological structure, the mountain massif of which has signs of endemicity.Patterns have been established behind which targets have been found in the ore massif that represent promising locations. It has been established that the targets for certain purposes will be achieved.

Practical value. The data will be taken away to support the renewal of mining operations at the Verbynsky molybdenum ore occurrence after the long time stoped. The establishment of temporary conditions at this site will allow similar work to be carried out on other sites in the geological region. Proposals regarding the establishment of temporary conditions for complex bark digging in Ukraine are extremely rare, so the assessment of practical significance is considered to be more than average.
