Abstract

Purpose. The main goal of the above study is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current state of man-made iron ore deposits, both bulk and alluvial, and to identify promising technological steps for their integration into the production cycle. The methodology is based on a complex combination of retrospective, descriptive situational, and causal analysis of the state of man-made objects, with scientific justification for the use of multisensor remote sensing to build three-dimensional models of the distribution of the useful component. Findings. To verify the working hypothesis regarding the influence of repeated metasomatism of mineral components in the body of technogenic deposits on their structure, a comprehensive analysis of their condition was conducted. Data on the resource potential of technogenic objects of the largest mining complexes of the region were systematized. Restraining factors for the development of technogenic massifs were identified, among which the key ones are the lack of reliable models of the internal structure and the complexity of enriching finely dispersed oxidized ores. The prospects of implementing remote sensing methods and mobile segregation complexes to ensure selective extraction of richer areas were noted. The originality of the article lies in the comprehensive analysis aimed at determining the current state of the mineral resource base formed by technogenic deposits. The connection between the gravitational differentiation of the material during the alluvial deposits and the rational parameters of the development system during their development has been confirmed. The concept of an “intellectual deposit” in relation to technogenic formations has been further developed, involving data fusion from multisensor systems to build more reliable digital models of arrays with uncertain morphology. Practical implementation. A technical basis has been developed for the design of open-pit mining technological schemes that allow minimizing losses and depletion during the extraction of man-made raw materials. The study's results can be used by mining and processing plants to transform environmental risks into strategic assets.
