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.

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.

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.

Production planning decisions in the mining industry are affected by geological, geometallurgical, economic and operational information. However, the traditional approach to address this problem often relies on simplified models that ignore the variability and uncertainty of these parameters. In this paper, two main sources of uncertainty are combined to obtain multiple simulated block models ...

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.

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 India many of the mines are working on with opencast mining and most of the mining operations are performing with drilling and blasting. The opencast working plays a crucial role in mining because of the improved productivity, recovery and safety of mining operation. The topic is OPTIMIZATION OF BLASTING OPERATION.

Selecting reasonable blasting parameters of ore and rock is an important measure to achieve good blasting effect. In the mining process, rock fragmentation is an important index to evaluate the blasting effect, which directly affects the technical scheme, equipment selection, economic effect, and other issues of the mine and even seriously threatens the sustainable safety production of the mine.

Most bauxite, iron, and copper ore is mined by open pit techniques, lead and zinc ore are principally extracted by underground mining methods, and precious metals, particularly gold and most notably in the USA and Australia, tend to be recovered in recent years from lowgrade deposits by surface mining.

Openpit mining Openpit mining is a type of strip mining in which the ore deposit extends very deep in the ground, necessitating the removal of layer upon layer of overburden and ore. In many cases, logging of trees and clearcutting or burning of vegetation above the ore deposit may precede removal of the overburden. The

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.

Blasting performance is influenced by mechanical and structural properties of the rock, on one side, and blast design parameters on the other. This paper describes a new methodology to assess rock mass quality from drillmonitoring data to guide blasting in open pit operations. Principal component analysis has been used to combine measurement while drilling (MWD) information from two drill ...

The mine supply chain usually contains three stages, which is mining, processing, and ore product transportation. This paper tackles the difficulty of variable cutoff grade by establishing a robust optimization model. To solve the robust optimization model, the nonlinear constraints in the model were linearized first.

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.
