Resilient Decision Making in Open Pit Short-term Production Planning in Presence of Geologic Uncertainty
Short-term production plans are the basis for operational mine production schedules. They concentrate on making long-term mine plans operationally feasible. Furthermore, some variables such as ore grade and tonnage govern mine production systems and cause uncertainty in the supply of raw materials to the mills. Due to the quality variation of material, short-term production optimization is an u...
متن کاملA Two-Phase Simulation-Based Optimization of Hauling System in Open-Pit Mine
One of the key issues in mining is the hauling system. Truck and shovels are the most widely used transportation equipment in mines. In this paper, a two-phase simulation-based optimization is presented to maximize utilization of hauling system in the largest Iranian open-pit copper mine. In the first phase, The OptQuest for Arena software package was used to solve the optimization problem to p...
متن کاملA continuous model for open pit mine planning∗
This paper proposes a new mathematical model for the open pit mine planning problem, based on continuous functional analysis. The traditional models for this problem have been constructed by using discrete 0−1 decision variables, giving rise to large-scale combinatorial and Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) problems. Instead, we use a continuous approach which allows for a refined imposition of s...
متن کاملA continuous framework for open pit mine planning
This paper proposes a newmathematical framework for the open pit mine planning problem, based on continuous functional analysis. The main challenge for engineers is to determine a sequence of nested profiles maximizing the net present value of the mining operation. The traditional models for this problem have been constructed by using binary decision variables, giving rise to large-scale combin...
متن کاملOpen Pit Optimization - Strategies for Improving Economics of Mining Projects Through Mine Planning
The open pit design and scheduling problem is a large-scale optimization problem that has attracted considerable attention during the last 40 years The development of the "know-how" to improve economics of open pit mining projects through the use of mathematical optimization techniques goes back to early 1960's. Unfortunately, up until recently, many of these "optimizing algorithms" could not b...
