a case study that focuses on the longterm production planning of an openpit iron ore mine in India. The stochastic production scheduling was performed. For stochastic modelling, only the geological uncertainty or risk was considered; however, any other uncertainty can be incorporated with the additional computational burden.
It is common in mining industry that the deposits contain multiple correlated attributes of interest. A typical example is iron ore mining, where up to six variables need to be considered in resource estimation and mine planning, namely iron (Fe), silica (SiO 2), alumina (Al 2 O 3), phosphor (P), loss on ignition (LOI) and Ochreous Goethite (GOL), and they are crosscorrelated.

In openpit mining, in order to extract an ore block, it is necessary to remove all waste blocks with a variable slope angle up to the surface. The final combination of all ore blocks together with all waste blocks necessary to reach them that give maximum economic value is called UPL. Many studies have been carried out to determine UPL.

Therefore, new methods for dump design optimization are of the highest priority in mine planning management. This paper presents a methodology to model and optimize the design of a mine dump by minimizing the total haulage costs. The proposed methodology consists of: (1) formulation of a dump model; (2) solves by using linear programming and ...
INTRODUCTION. In openpit mining, there is a clear trend of excavating mines of increasing depths (Figure 1a).Owing to the increased efficiency of mining equipment and improved exploration techniques and technology, the ore bodies left to be exploited are deeper (Figure 1b).The deeper a mine is, the higher the effect of pitwall steepness on the amount of waste rock to be excavated and ...
The scheduling of openpit mine production is a largescale, mixedinteger linear programming problem that is computationally expensive. The purpose of this study is to create a computationally efficient algorithm for solving openpit production scheduling problems with uncertain geological parameters. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed research, a case study of an Indian iron ...
The open pit mining load and haul system has been a mainstay of the mining industry for many years. While machines have increased in size and scale and automation has become an important development, there have been few innovations to the actual load and haul process itself in recent times. This research highlights some of the potential productivity and safety benefits that the incorporation ...
In the production process of openpit mines, trucks are applied in the production process of openpit mines for transporting ores and rocks. Most openpit mines are equipped with dozens of trucks. It is important to plan the dispatch of trucks in the production process so that the transportation process can be the shortest in distance, the lowest in cost, and the most efficient. At present ...

The longterm planning of open pit mine is a dynamic process and should be reviewed periodically for enhancing the NPV and life of mine. Pit optimization through soft computing can be gainfully applied to resolve a number of important problems that arise in developing suitable planning strategies and man agement of a mine.
Most iron ore mining operations use the 'open pit' method, where miners drill into the rock and blast the orebearing material loose with explosives. Huge excavators are then used to gather the loosened ore. To mine metallurgical coal, which will later be turned into coke, it's usually necessary to sink vertical mine shafts to access coal which is deposited in layers or 'seams ...

Openpit mining technology. Openpit mining clearly offers a number of economic advantages over underground mining, especially now that mineralprocessing technology has advanced to the stage where very lowgrade ores can be treated profitably. 100 to 150 years ago, this was not the case, and mining was still much more selective.
The profit function can also be formulated in unit values (per ton or cubic meter of ore), by assigning a unit profit function L ′ (/h), which is given by (2) L ′ = T U V − M − E R − B − F P. In all these variables, there are two geological characteristics, which have great importance: the stripping ratio R and the grade of ore is therefore essential to determine what their ...
In an open pit mining operation, the heterogeneity of the gradetonnage distribution of the deposit dictates that all available material within the boundaries of an open pit may not be processed.
Presentation Transcript. Explanation: Openpit mining, also known as opencut mining, and strip mining, refers to a method of extracting rock or minerals from the earth by their removal from an open pit. Most of the time, when the mining company is done with it, the pit is used as a landfill. A landfill is used as a dump to get rid of our garbage.
