Several types of instabilities can menace the personnel and equipment in the open cast mines. Their kinematicis dependent commonly on the nature, the structure, the fracturing and the strength of the rock mass. A scientific assessment vis-a-vis their equilibrium is suggested. For this task a considerable amount of field work must already carrying out to supply the necessary data ie: geometric, mechanic and geologic parameters. The main purpose of this research is identifying different modes of slope failures that may develop on the career “ENOF” of Jebel Gustar, by a multi-step analysis. For this task, i) a structural analysis; ii) an estimation of the rock mass and discontinuity mechanical properties, iii) a rating of the rock mass quality, iv) and a numerical simulation of the stability are procedurally used. The results matched well with the field observations. They proved the poor stability of the career, showing a typical example of a bad slope-design. The application of such approaches can help stabilizing the mine and ensure the safety and a sustainable production.

The Anini iron ore contains mainly ferriferous hematite rocks with inclusions of quartz and clay. The chemical analysis showed that the average content of iron is 55% while SiO2 and Al2O3 is 26.20% and 12%, respectively. The XRD mineralogical analysis confirmed that the prevailing mineral phase are hematite, quartz, clay and some inclusions of calcite in this matrix. According to the tests, preliminary desliming by washing provides iron 62% is the concentrate while SiO2 decreases from 26.20% to 2.30% and Al2O3from 12% to 3%. The calculated partial basicity index Ip= (CaO/SiO2) was 1.07, meaning that the washed-out ore achieves standards to be used in metallurgy. The by-products remaining after washing (quartz, clay and a small content of iron) can be used in cement production.
