Degtyarsky mine department

The Degtyarskoye copper-sulphide ore deposit is located 34 kilometers south-west of the city of Yekaterinburg in the valley of the Degtyarki River, on Mount Karaulna (Labaz) on the border of Europe and Asia ^[1] .

Degtyarsky Copper Mine

In 1890, the copper deposit was predicted by Academician A.P. Karpinsky , and from 1907, the Russian-British Joint-Stock Company of Sysertsky Mining District began to conduct exploratory drilling at the deposit. In 1911–1913 exploratory mines were laid, and from September 22, 1914, the London and Petersburg mines were launched. At the same time, the Revda-Degtyarsk railway was laid to the mines, connecting with the Kazan-Perm-Yekaterinburg highway. Mostly Austrian prisoners of war worked at the mine. After the mine was nationalized in 1917, mining was ceased in 1918, and the mine and quarries were flooded ^[1] .

Concession with Lena Goldfields

Since 1922, shipment of harvested ore began. And in November 1925, the mine was transferred to a concession to the English joint-stock company Lena Goldfields (Eng. Lena Goldfields Co., Ltd). Since 1927, the company has pumped water from the flooded mines, built two mines "New York" and "Berlin", replaced the horse gate with electric lifting winches, built a processing plant of flotation enrichment. The number of staff has grown to 745 people. In 1930, the concession agreement on the initiative of the Soviet state was terminated ^[1] .

Prewar time

In 1939–1940, the mines Kapitalnaya No. 1 and Kapitalnaya No. 2 were launched, designed by the institute Sevgiprotsvetmet ( Unipromed ). Productivity of the Degtyarsky copper mine, in thousands of tons of ore: 1915 - 22.8; 1916 - 17.4; 1917 - 35.7; 1918-1927 - 0; 1928 - 54.2; 1929 - 97.8; 1932 - 229.8; 1934-317; 1938 - 732 ^[1] .

During the Great Patriotic War

More than 3,000 people were called up from the mine. Women began to work in the mines. The labor of German and Romanian prisoners of war was used. The director of the mine was Malkin I. M. For selfless labor the mine was repeatedly marked by the passing Red Banner of the State Defense Committee ^[1] .

Post-war time

In 1970, the Degtyarskoye Mine Administration was established, which included the Degtyarsky mine, the Gumeshevsky mine, the Krylatovsky mine, the Pyshminsky mine, lime production, auxiliary shops, two sites for the production of consumer goods and ancillary farm. For the first time in the USSR, together with the Institute of TsNIGRI, a system for automated control and management of mine ventilation was introduced. Ore production declined and went to deeper horizons. Mine "Capital number 1" and "Capital number 2" were closed. Lime production was reconstructed, 6 modern kiln shaft kilns were built with full mechanization of charge loading. Quarry launched at the South-Vyazovskoye field ^[1] .

Ecology

A neutralization plant, sewage treatment plants, dust collectors on kilns, land reclamation were built ^[1] .

Lime quarry

The lime pit mines limestone by drilling and blasting, as in 1990 692 thousand tons were mined, in 1994 - 305 thousand tons, in 1998 - 228 thousand tons. In 1990, she worked in a career - 102 people, in 1999 - 92 people. In the fleet there were two dump trucks BELAZ with a lifting capacity of 30 tons and two excavators with buckets of 4.6 cubic meters. and 5 cubic meters. ^[1] .

Krylatovsky Mine

The Krylatovsky deposit was discovered in 1803 by the factory peasant of the Kurganova village, Andrey Krylatkov, with the assistance of the artisan Balandin. While haymaking in the upper reaches of the Kungurka River, Krylatkov discovered a quartz block shining in the sun. A sample of ore showed a gold content of 419–504 g / t. The head of the Yekaterinburg mining plants, I. F. German, personally went to the Gryaznushka River (a tributary of the Kungurka River) and became convinced of the wealth of the new field. Of the first 16.4 tons of ore, 890 grams of gold was obtained, and a gold plate weighing 2 pounds 27 spools with an engraved year of mine discovery was sent to Alexander I. In 1803–1810, 8 pounds of 2 pounds of 70 gold spools were mined. From 1810, the mine was abandoned ^[2] . In 1901–1913, the Joint-Stock Company of the Sysertsky Mining District conducts exploration wells up to 50 meters and builds several operational mines with a depth of 20-67 meters. For the extraction of gold, two three-runner bowls were launched, and in 1909 a cyan plant, with the runners removed from the efels. In the years 1901-1913, 600 kg of gold was mined. In 1914, work at the Krylatovsky mine was stopped, equipment was removed, and the buildings were sold for scrap ^[2] .

In 1932, the Sysertskoe mine management of the Uralzoloto trust began work on restoring mine number 2 (depth 67 meters), draining the northern quartz lens, and checking the degree of depletion of the upper horizons. In the years 1932-1934, exploitation was carried out by prospecting from an old mine. The mined ores were processed at the newly built runner factory, but due to the small volumes of mining, the mine was again put on conservation ^[2] .

In 1939–1942, geological exploration was carried out, core drilling was explored to a depth of 120–130 meters, the ore zone was described up to 5 kilometers, a number of new veins were discovered, a full audit of reserves was completed, which were approved in 1941 CCCP. Analysis of ore for molybdenum did not give a positive result. In 1950, the mining of gold ore began. In 1950-1956, mining was carried out through three shafts of mine No. 1 bis, No. 3 and No. 10, 39 thousand tons per year. The shaft of mine No. 10 was reconstructed, an ore sorting, compressor, ore-raising, machine shop, garage, forge and other production facilities were built ^[2] .

In 1950-1961, a large fraction of the ore was shipped to SUMZ as a flux, and the small fraction was processed at the mine factory. In 1961, after the introduction of new technology for smelting copper-sulphide ores, a small fraction was supplied to SUMZ, the runner factory was dismantled, and all the ore after crushing and screening was sent to SUMZ , or to Kirovgrad copper smelting plant , or to the Krasnouralsk smelting plant ^[2] .

According to the project of construction of a new mine from 1963, the gold content (from 2.29 to 3 g / t) and silver (2.03-2.99 g / t) in the gold mine. In 1966, construction began on the Tsentralnaya mine. The rock from the faces was raised with 30LS-2S and 17LS-2C scraper winches equipped with 0.25 cubic meters scrapers, drilling was done with PT-36 rotary drills, and the ZMK-25 pneumatic chargers were charged. The ore to the trunk of the Tsentralnaya mine was supplied by battery electric locomotives in AG-4M cars, and after the ore was discharged and processed at the ore sorting station with 10-12 tonne dump trucks, it was transported to Degtyarsk for shipment in rail cars to SUMZ. In 1967, an automated compressor unit, pumping and ventilation complex was launched. Water drainage was carried out through mine number 10 with three pumps KSM-100. Ventilation of the workings was carried out through the shaft of the Yuzhnaya-Ventiatsionnaya mine (the former Yuzhnaya mine) with a VOKR-1.8 fan, and the exhaust air was discharged through the Severnaya-Ventilation mine (the former Severnaya mine) ^[2] .

In 1970, the Krylatovsky mine became part of the Degtyarskoye mine department, and in 1970–1974, the Severnaya-Ventiyatnaya mine complex, a forest bleeding well complex and HLG, an ABK, a headroom building and a lifting unit of the Tsentralnaya mine, a central boiler house, sewage treatment plants were built. , mine shaft “Yuzhno-Ventilyatsionnaya”, mine workings, TsPP, pumping station of the main drainage system, crushing and screening plant and the Degtyarsk — Krylatovsky mine railroad. In 1980–2001, horizons of 190 m, 250 m, 310 m were mined and a dredging of the shaft of the Severnaya-Ventiatsionnaya mine was carried out to a horizon of 370 m. In 2000, SUMZ abandoned Krylatovsk ore and switched to other raw materials, and in 2006 The mine was closed ^[2] .

In the early 1990s, flux ore was mined by underground mining, 105 tons were mined in 1990, 1994 - 114 tons, 1999 - 120 tons. The number of personnel of the mine in 1990 was 341 people, in 1999 it was 391 people. The Krylatovsky mine was flooded, and a collapse zone formed over the upper workings, which by 2009 was filled with water. To prevent settlement flooding in 2012, a pumping station was installed on the southern trunk, which maintains the permissible groundwater level ^[2] .

Pyshminsky Mine

In 1970, the Pyshminsky mine was subordinated to the Degtyarsky Mine Administration, but in September 1976 the Pyshmy mine was closed, and by 1980, the dismantling of equipment was completed and its wet conservation was started.

Gumeshevsky Mine

In 1970, the Gumeshevsky mine became part of the Degtyarsky mine department. In 1994, the mining of ore was completed. In 1994 - 1997 dismantling and reclamation works were carried out. Since 2004, underground leaching with the use of concentrated sulfuric acid has been carried out at the Gumeshevsky deposit by the forces of OJSC “ Uralgidromed ”.

OJSC “Degtyarskoye Mine Administration” was declared bankrupt by the definition of the Arbitration Court of the Sverdlovsk Region dated November 26, 2010, about which an entry was made in the register on December 17, 2010. The successor of JSC "Degtyarskoye mine department" in part of the lime pit was LLC "Ural quarry"

Over the years, the Degtyarsky Copper Mine, and then the Degtyarsky Mine Management Department, were headed by: Joseph Mikhailovich Malkin, Kuzma Isaevich Kataya, Vladimir Gilelevich Turovsky, Vladimir Mikhailovich Yudin.
