Planning an Iron Ore Mine: From Exploration Data to Informed Mining Decisions
The process of developing an iron ore mine from exploration data through to informed mining decisions provides an example of a Complex Adaptive System. The detailed composition of an ore body (expressed as a “block model” of regularly spaced rectangular blocks) has to be estimated from initially sparse exploration data, based upon a limited number of drill holes. As planning proceeds, the data ...
متن کاملSimulation Modeling of an Iron Ore Operation to Enable Informed Planning
An iron ore mining company, operating in Western Australia, trucks ore from three geographically isolated sources to a crusher, where it is blended before and during crushing. The company prides itself on its key performance indicator: the relatively low inter-shipment grade variability of its products. The company has been considering alternative production process designs for all stages from ...
متن کاملAnalyzing the effect of ore grade uncertainty in open pit mine planning; A case study of Rezvan iron mine, Iran
Due to uncertain nature of grade in ore deposits, considering uncertainty is inevitable in geological modelling of resources and mine planning. In other words, uncertainty in grade of mineralized materials, is one of the most significant parameters need attention in mine planning. In this paper, a comparative procedure utilizing Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) and traditional Ordinary Krig...
متن کاملScheduling in iron ore open-pit mining
During the last few years, most production-based businesses have been under enormous pressure to improve their top-line growth and bottom-line savings. As a result, many companies are turning to systems and technologies that can help optimise their supply chain activities. In this paper, we discuss a real-world application of scheduling in the mining industry. This is a highly constrained probl...
متن کاملA risk assessment for exposure to grunerite asbestos (amosite) in an iron ore mine.
The potential for health risks to humans exposed to the asbestos minerals continues to be a public health concern. Although the production and use of the commercial amphibole asbestos minerals-grunerite (amosite) and riebeckite (crocidolite)-have been almost completely eliminated from world commerce, special opportunities for potentially significant exposures remain. Commercially viable deposit...
