The decrease in the international demand for the products of mineral mining made the industry to hunt for new methods to enhance operational efficiency and to cut down expenditures. The cyclicaland-continuous technology in open pit mining ensures reduction in the expenditures and gain in the labor productivity as compared with the cyclical technology. The introduction of the cyclicaland-continuous technology will allow Metalloinvest Holding to utilize the recession time for the competency development and will enable increasing capitalization at any stage of economic cycle. For qualitative problem solving, PiterGORproekt company applies its own experience of large plant designing in combination with the modern Western technologies, using SWOT-analysis for technicaland-economic assessment of the project on mining and transportation system efficiency enhancement and optimization at Lebedinsky GOK (Mining and Processing Plant). The executed work shows that the knowledge of key world trends in the area of technology and equipment development and the practical experience of their implementation in fusion with the Western analytical approaches makes it possible to elaborate the most optimal scenario of target development and reconstruction of Ledensky GOK. The innovation approach applied to determining optimal line of the cyclical-and-continuous technology project implementation at Lebedinsky GOK as well as the philosophy of the end-to-end responsibility of the designer – tarting from exploratory design and up to construction design supervision – will allow Metalloinvest Holding to utilize the recession time for the competency development and will enable increasing capitalization at any stage of economic cycle.
