Abstract:In order to promote the protection and rational utilization of mineral resources, the research on basic data of ore deposits and the demonstration of industrial criteria of ore deposits are of vital importance. Using an antimony mine in Yunnan as a case study, the process of establishing industrial criteria is established, including cut-off grade, minimum industrial grade, minimum mining thickness, and waste rock exclusion thickness. The geological scheme method is employed to determine the mining and beneficiation plans for the mine. Through technical and economic comparisons, a comprehensive analysis is conducted to establish reasonable industrial criteria for the deposit. Additionally, the current issues encountered during the industrial criteria evaluation process is addressed and a series of targeted suggestions is proposed. It is of guiding significance for formulating industrial criteria for similar deposits.
