Open-Pit Mine Production Scheduling and Crusher Location-Relocation Plan under Semi-Mobile IPCC Systems
DownloadFall 2021
In most open-pit mines, material haulage costs can comprise over 50% of the total mining costs. This portion can even increase as the future mining conditions will become more challenging. Although the conventional truck-and-shovel system is adopted by over 95% of existing surface mines, in-pit...

Production Scheduling and Boundary Optimization in Block Caving Mines under Geologic and Material Flow Uncertainty
DownloadFall 2019
Block caving methods have become desirable underground massive mining techniques as close to the surface, high/grade deposits are exhausted, and current open-pit mines reach their final mining limits. Block caving mining is the only method that can rival the economies and production capacity of...
