Research tasks in the field of subsurface geometry (rock geometry)

Abstract

The geometry of the subsoil (mining geometry) took shape as an independent discipline in the post-October period on the basis of the socialist mining industry, which set the tasks of rational exploration, development and use of the subsoil in a new way. This article, which does not claim to cover the issue in detail, sets itself the goal of characterizing the study of some issues of the geometry of the subsoil and clarifying the content of further research work in this area. It briefly touches on all sections of mining geometry, starting with projections used in solving mining geometry problems and ending with the accounting of the movement of reserves, losses, dilution and production.
