Geotechnical Assessment and Open Pit Design for Olon Ovoot Gold Mine
In 2007, SRK was appointed by Mongol Gazar to conduct a geotechnical assessment and provide open pit design recommendations for the Olon Ovoot gold mine in Mongolia. The team carried out empirical and numerical analyses to assess appropriate preliminary geotechnical pit slope design parameters. In order to develop and maintain pit wall slopes with an acceptable probability of failure, important considerations and practical recommendations on slope management were also provided.
