The goal of this study was to elaborate a methodology of sustainability assessment for developing advanced mining technologies. Last year sustainability assessment methods were conducted for Estonian deposits of dolostone and limestone. The elaborated sustainability assessment methods have shown that a three - level risk matrix monitoring scale gives a structured analysis results. The paper introduces with comparison of new Module Analysis (three - level risk matrix) and earlier used Module Analysis (simplest risk scale).
The global importance of and demand for oil shale are currently rapidly growing. Deposits of oil shale are widespread around the world. All this necessitates assessment of the sustainability of existing open-pit and underground mining technologies to improve oil shale mining management.The aim of the present study is to elaborate a method for assessment of the sustainability of oil shale mining to develop advanced mining technologies on this basis. Sustainability assessment has earlier been applied to two exploited Estonian carbonate rock deposits -dolostone and limestone. It was shown that a three-level matrix monitoring scale gives structured results. This paper considers the applicability of a sustainability assessment matrix to Estonian oil shale mining.
-Importance and demand of high qualified mining material (carbonate rocks, oil shale) are growing nowadays. Deposits are widespread around the world. Is it possible to create the sustainability paradigm, that helps to manage quarries adequately to improve overall effectiveness of the company in total? This study focuses especially on the mining industry. This paper will introduce modern systems and a new one, that allows to make an indexation of the company by mining sustainability index and gradation of the company by its wellness; also brings several benefits for future sustainable development.
