Ellefmo*1, Jo Eidsvik2 1 Department of Geology and Mineral Resources Engineering, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Sem Saelands vei 1, N-7491 Trondheim, Norway 2 Department of Mathematical Sciences, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Alfred Getz vei 1, N-7491 Trondheim, Norway Summary Stability is a key issue in any mining or tunnelling activity. Joint frequency constitutes an important input into stability analyses. Three techniques are used herein to quantify the local- and spatial joint frequency uncertainty, or possible joint frequencies given joint frequency data, at unsampled locations. Rock Quality Designation is estimated from the predicted joint frequencies. The first method is based on kriging with subsequent Poisson sampling. The second method transforms the data to near-Gaussian variables and uses the Turning Band Method to generate a range of possible joint frequencies. Method three assumes that the data are Poisson distributed and models the log-intensity of these data with a spatially smooth Gaussian prior distribution. Intensities are obtained and Poisson variables are generated to examine the expected joint frequency and associated variability. The joint frequency data is from an iron ore in the Northern part of Norway. The methods are tested at unsampled locations and validated at sampled locations. All three methods perform quite well when predicting sampled points. The probability that the joint frequency exceeds five joints per meter is also estimated to illustrate a more realistic utilisation. The obtained probability map highlights zones in the ore where stability problems have occurred. It is therefore concluded that the methods work and that more emphasis should have been put on these kinds of analyses Page: 1 of 35 when the mine was planned. By using simulation instead of estimation, it is possible to get a clear picture of possible joint frequency values or ranges, i.e. the uncertainty.

Introduction Focus on stability is crucial in any type of underground workings like underground mining or tunneling. In mining ore grade and stability are two decisive parameters. If it is not possible to produce ore above cut-off at stable conditions, the ore is sterilized until the mining face is stabilized. Unexpected instability incidents are expensive. They require additional expensive efforts and they are time consuming. In mining it is important to produce according to schedule to avoid loosing too much income. Tunneling projects must often be finalized within a rather strict time frame. Unexpected delays due to instabilities must therefore be avoided. Preliminary investigations in mining and tunneling are in principle similar, but typically very different when it comes to extent. Mining projects need to perform extensive drilling campaigns to characterize and delineate the ore body. If the boreholes are logged also for geotechnical information like joint frequency and joint characteristics, they can, used along with suitable quantification techniques, provide valuable input into stability analyses. Boreholes drilled to characterize the grade distributions in the ore, might not be suitable if one also wants to collect geotechnical data. For example, in order to assess at what rate the joint frequency decline with increasing distance from a fault, it would be best to drill perpendicular to the fault plane. Mining companies have to the authors’ knowledge acknowledged this and perform separate drilling campaigns to collect geotechnical data. Once data is collected these must be processed and analyzed to give meaningful interpretation and decisions. Herein we present techniques based Page: 3 of 35 on geostatistics to predict the expected joint frequency and associated local- and spatial variability (uncertainty) at unsampled locations. The methods are validated by also predicting the joint frequency at sampled locations. The joint frequencies are transformed into Rock Quality Designation (RQD) values. The RQD (Deere and Miller 1966) is a parameter used today in many mining and tunneling projects to describe the degree of jointing in a rock mass. Geostatistics has been used in rock mass characterization. La Pointe (1980) uses geostatistics to indicate the degree of inhomogeneity in the frequencies and orientation of two distinct joint sets. Young (1987) uses indicator kriging to evaluate the local probability distribution of rock joint orientations in geological formations. Hoerger and Young (1987) use local estimates of rock mass conditions obtained through geostatistics as input into geotechnical designs. Yu and Mostyn (1993) review concepts and models used to model the spatial correlation of joint geometric parameters. Syrjänen and Lovén (2003) used geostatistics on estimated Geological Strength Index (Hoek et al. 1995). They conclude that rock mechanical quality parameters from drill cores can be estimated using geostatistical interpolation methods. Einstein (2003) reports the use of geostatistics on RQD values. Liu and Srinivasan (2004) used multiple point statistics to simulate fracture networks. In this paper the joint frequency and its associated variability (uncertainty) is quantified using three different simulation approaches. The simulation approach enables assessment of not only expected RQD-values, but also possible RQD-values, i.e. possible RQD- ranges. As an application, the probability that the joint frequency exceeds five joints per meter is predicted at points covering a part of the Kvannevann Iron Ore in Page: 4 of 35 Northern Norway. In effect this also estimates the probability that the RQD- value is below 90% at unsampled locations. Probability maps are generated to visualize the result. In Chapter 2 the geology, the joint frequency geodata and the Kvannevann Iron Ore mining operation is presented. Chapter 3 presents the objective and previous work performed on the geodata used in this paper. Chapter 4 gives a short introduction to RQD and how it is used in this study. Chapter 5 presents the three techniques applied to quantify the joint frequency and associated variability at unsampled locations. Chapter 6 presents the prediction results and discusses its implications. In Chapter 7 some concluding remarks are made. Two of the simulation approaches are presented in more detail in the Appendix. 2. Background 2.1. Mining operation The applied mining method at the Kvannevann Iron Ore Mine is sublevel stoping. One drill drift is tunnelled in the centre of the planned stope. From this drift production holes of 3 to 4 inches in diameter, are drilled about 30 metres upwards and about 40 metres downwards in vertical fans. Another drift is tunnelled about 70 meter below the drill drift from which the production holes are drilled upwards. Typically, three or four fans are charged and blasted in one round. Blasted ore is loaded onto trucks and transported out to a crusher near the mine entrance. The stopes are about 110 metres high, 40 metres wide and 60 metres long. Figure 1 provides a mine map showing level 250, i.e. 250 meters above sea level. Crushed ore is trammed about 35 kilometres down to Page: 5 of 35 the beneficiation plant. The mine has an annual production at about 1.6 million tonnes of ore. 2.2. Geology The iron ores in Dunderland Valley belong to Rødingfjell Nappe Complex (RNC) which constitutes a part of the uppermost allochthone of the Scandinavian Caledonides. RNC contains rocks of assumed late Pre-Cambrian to Cambrian-Silurian age and consists of the Beiarn Nappe, the Slagfjell Nappe, the Plura Nappe and the Ramnålia Nappe (Søvegjarto et. al., 1989). Two iron-ore-bearing zones are found in Ramnålia Nappe, more specifically in the Dunderland formation. The Dunderland formation consists of dolomite- and calcite marble, mica schist, calcareous mica schist and two iron ore bearing horizons. The economic Kvannevann Iron Ore in the Dunderland formation is a low grade meta-sedimentary iron ore with an average total iron grade around 34%. The ore is highly banded in terms of mineral variations, grain size, grain shape and iron content. Spatially, the ore is steeply dipping. The main minerals in the ore are hematite and magnetite, calcite and dolomite, quartz, garnet, epidote, mica (biotite and muscovite) and amphiboles. 2.3. Joint frequency data A joint is a planar or semi-planar discontinuity in a rock formed through movement perpendicular to the fracture surface (e.g; Park 1989; Braathen and Gabrielsen 2000). There are three joint sets in the area (Nilsen 1979). Table 1 shows the joint strike and the joint dip of these joint sets. The strike angle is given as the Page: 6 of 35 clockwise angle from north and the dip is the angle downwards from the horizontal. Joints represent zones of weakness in the rock mass. Thus, to assess the stability of the rock mass, the spatial joint frequency distribution is an important input. Boreholes from a 1980-drilling campaign have been logged for joint frequency by counting the number of joints pr.

    Institutt for geovitenskap Strukturell kontroll av stratiform jernmalm ved Kvannevann øst, Dunderlandsdalen, Nordland Fredrik Lie Masteroppgave i geologi, GEO-3900, Mai 2019 i Sammendrag Stratiform jernmalm av verdensklasse fremgår i Dunderlandsdalen, der de prinsipielle malmmineralene består av hematitt og magnetitt. Jernmalmen tilhører Dunderlandsformasjonen, som er del av Ramnålidekket innenfor Rødingsfjell dekkekompleks i det øverste allokton av den kaledonske fjellkjeden. Sidebergartene til jernmalmen består av godt folierte glimmerskifere, metapsammitter og tykke lagpakker av dolomittisk og kalsittisk marmor, som har gjennomgått metamorfose i amfibolitt fase. Sekvensen med bergarter som jernmalmen inngår i, ble avsatt i neoproterozoikum. Bergartene ble deformert gjennom flere faser (D1-D3) under den kaledonske fjellkjededannelsen. D1 omfatter F1 folder som er resultat av Ø-V strykende makro- til meso og mikro-skala isoklinale skjærfolder av antatt primærsedimentære lag, som har medført repetisjoner av stratigrafien, og samtidig utviklet en gjennomgående akseplanfoliasjon (S1). Foliasjonen er i dag subvertikal og inneholder blant annet strekningslineasjoner og mylonittiske skjærsoner med interne, disharmoniske F1-folder og komplekst transponerte foldehengsler. D2 førte til refolding av S1 og tilhørende intrafoliale strukturelementer gjennom asymmetriske og svakt overbikkede tett til moderat åpne folder (F2), koaksialt til F1 folder, og sannsynligvis var årsaken til vertikalstilling av lagrekken. Det siste duktile deformasjonsstadiet foregikk gjennom refolding av hele dekkesekvensen i makro skala. Mikroteksturelle studier av hematitt- og magnetittmalm har påvist tidlig hematitt langs rytmiske lag/bånd sammen med kompetente kvartsrike lag. Større tabulær hematitt (spekularitt) er utviklet parallelt med S1 i forbindelse med den første påviste foldefasen, og en enda senere generasjon langs F2 akseplan. Magnetitt utgjør større anhedrale korn som har vokst over hematitt og indikerer en senere dannelse.

  • Numerical Modelling of the High Rock Stress Challenges at Rana Mine, Norway

Kuhn2 1SINTEF AS, Infrastructure, Rock and Soil Mechanics, Norway 2Rana Gruber AS, Norway Rana Gruber AS is an iron mining company in the north of Norway, and operates the Kvannevann mine 30 km east of Mo i Rana. The Kvannevann mine is located in a foliated gneiss host rock, with an ore body about 70 m wide and more than 300 m deep. During the history of the mine, it has been in operation for many years using an open-pit mining method, which was later it converted to sublevel-stoping. After thorough planning and preparation, the sub-level cave mining method was put in operation in 2012. Experience from past mining activities and in the preparation of infrastructure for the new mining method indicates that the mine is located in a hard, brittle rock mass with high horizontal stresses. Stress measurements have been made from time to time. The measurement results indicate a major principal stress of approximately 20 MPa perpendicular to the strike of the ore, and a minor principal stress of approximately 10 MPa parallel to the strike of the ore, which is 10–15 times higher than the theoretical vertical stress caused by gravity at the measured location. This paper presents some challenges related to high stress during development and operation of the mine. The paper also presents a comprehensive rock mechanics program, applying a combination of stress measurements, numerical modelling, and monitoring, to deal with the situation.

  • An Alternative Mining Method at the Kvannevann Mine, Northern Norway
    Caving 2010 — Y. Potvin (ed) © 2010 Australian Centre for Geomechanics, Perth, ISBN 978-0-9806154-1-8 doi:10.36487/ACG_rep/1002_17_NaevermoSand An alternative mining method at the Kvannevann Mine, northern Norway S. Nævermo Sand Rana Gruber AS, Norway Abstract After more than 30 years of open pit mining, in 2000 Rana Gruber AS started underground mining using the sublevel open stoping method at the Kvannevann Mine, located in northern Norway. The mining has been continuously improved and further developed to suit the difficult rock conditions in the area and to reduce operating costs. A combination of low grade iron ore (with on average 33% iron (Fe)) and significant rock mechanics challenges (large horizontal stresses) has made mining in the Kvannevann Mine extraordinary. Because of the last year’s increase of production due to the demand for iron ore, Rana Gruber AS investigated methods to increase the mining capacity and resources. This resulted in an evaluation of alternative mining methods. The investigation resulted in the decision to change over from sublevel open stoping to sublevel caving. Key arguments were: a) mineable reserves; b) cost and benefit with respect to investment; c) extraction values show an optimistic and satisfactory result; and d) estimations and field tests indicating a satisfactory caving of the deposit. 1 Introduction The Kvannevann Mine is one of several iron ore mines operated and owned by Rana Gruber AS in the Dunderland Valley. The Kvannevann Mine is the only underground mine in the region. The deposit is located in the northern part of Norway, approximately 50 km south of the Arctic Circle.

  • The Coastal Road (State Highway 17) from Holandsfjorden to Nesna
    The coastal road (state highway 17) from Holandsfjorden to Nesna 93 Locality 39 - Blokktinden, Tjong On the road to Tjong and onwards to Reppa there is a good view towards Blokktinden and its very large avalanche cone. Blokktinden is carved in granitic gneiss and belongs to one of the Precambrian basement windows. Strong vertical jointing in the bedrock is one of the reasons for the large quantities of scree material which have accumulated here. The main shore line forms a break in the avalanche slope and can be seen as a horizontal line. Here it represents the marine limit and is clearly developed in the fallen material. This means that most of the cone is a little older than the last part of the Younger Dryas. Probably most of the stoneblocks fell from the mountain wall a little after the mountain emerged from the ice masses 12,000-11,000 years ago. The climate during the first part of Younger Dryas time was very cold which enhanced fracturing of the rock walls and initiated stone-block production. Blokktinden with its 400 m avalanche cone, looking south from Tjong. Photo: Terje H. Bargel. 94 Locality 40 - Nordværnes On a branch road, about 15 km from Straumsvika and only a few hundred metres from Nordværnes, is a body of peridotite (olivine/pyroxene rock). It is easily seen because of ifs reddish yellow alteration colour. Parts of this body, particularly the marginal zone and intersecting veins, are very special. In a groundmass which consists mostly of orthopyroxene there are olivine crystals 5 cm to 1 m in length and randomly orientated.
