ABSTRACT
Mining operations in open pits depend on making consistent profits. The main goal of open-pit mine design is to safely and reliably extract the most valuable ore. This involves balancing economic needs with safety to guide the design of the pit slopes and ensure a minimum safety factor. The Chadormalu mine is divided into five geotechnical areas. The upper and lower slopes of the northern wall have safety factors of 1. 23 and 1. 07, respectively, and reducing the slope is not an option. Therefore, this area needs careful monitoring due to critical mine facilities. A comprehensive monitoring strategy has been set up to improve safety, and traditional methods identified unstable areas with specific angles. A radar system was essential for monitoring, aiming to manage risks linked to instabilities on the northern wall through a developed monitoring program and TARP system.
