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...
