Content Summary | For the cement industry the minerals gypsum and anhydrite, due to their similar chemical composition,
are of the same importance. In cement production line, the energy requirements for grinding
anhydrite are different from that of gypsum. Occasionally, the difference in mechanical properties
of the extreme members (anhydride / stiff - gypsum / brittle) can cause problems during grinding procedure.
For these reasons it is necessary to be aware of the spatial distribution of these rocks in an
active open pit. This knowledge, because of its strict connection with the calculation of the reserves
(geological and recoverable), contributes to the direct production planning of the open pit and to the
medium and long term planning as well. In order to approach the spatial distribution of sulphate
rocks in the active gypsum open pit of INTERBETON S.A. in Altsi (Sitia region, Εastern Crete), new
exploration boreholes were drilled. The proposed methodology concerning the determination of the
new borehole locations consists of two steps. In the first step detailed geological mapping of the
surface sulphate rocks is conducted and in the second step a three-dimensional geological model is
constructed. The model’s construction is based on data derived from a past drilling program. Those
data were enriched with the results of geochemical analysis of 100 new surface samples. The surface
samples were taken by means of Wagon Drill accordingly to a predefined grid. Five different
drilling scenarios were proposed, contributing to the determination of the optimal drilling program. | el |
