The annual production scheduling of open pit mines determines an optimal sequence for annually extracting the mineralized material from the ground. The objective of the optimization process is usually to maximize the total Net Present Value (NPV) of the operation. Production scheduling is typically a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) type problem containing uncertainty in the geologic input data ...

Openpit mining is a surface mining operation whereby ore, or waste, is excavated from the surface of the land. In the process of digging the surface of the land, a deeper and deeper pit is formed until the mining operation ends. It is usually suitable to determine the final shape of the pit before the mining operation starts.

A serious problem faced by the metal mineral mining industry is the challenge to the sustainable development of resource mining due to the continuous decline of ore geological grade. In the case of producing concentrates of the same quality, compared with using only highgrade raw ore, ore blending is a way to slow down the decline of ore geological grade by combining high and lowgrade raw ...
