In 2007, SRK was appointed by Mongol Gazar to conduct a geotechnical assessment and provide open-pit design recommendations for the Olon Ovoot gold mine in Mongolia. The team carried out empirical and numerical analyses to assess appropriate preliminary geotechnical pit-slope design parameters. In order to develop and maintain pit wall slopes with an acceptable probability of failure, important considerations and practical recommendations on slope management were also provided.
