- Abstract
In Suichang gold mine, the altered rock type gold deposits were cut by faults and joint fissures, leading to complex resource endowment characteristics, large changes in occurrence, a serious complex of ore vein branches and great difficulty in mining. In order to select a suitable mining method for such a difficult and complicated orebody, a multi-factor and multi-index comprehensive evaluation system involving benefits, costs, safety and other aspects was constructed by using the Pythagorean fuzzy sets and TOPSIS method. Taking Suichang gold mine as an example, the weighted aggregation evaluation matrix was constructed, the closeness index of the four mining schemes were 0.8436, 0.3370, 0.4296 and 0.4334, and the mechanized upward horizontal layering method was determined as the optimal scheme. This method overcame the fuzzy comparison of economic and technical indicators directly, but converted them into corresponding fuzzy numbers to obtain accurate closeness index for optimization. The application of this method not only ensured a safe, efficient and environment-friendly mining effect, but also provided a reference for the optimization of the mining scheme of the severely branched composite orebody.
