An Improved Approach to Production Planning in Oil Sands Mining Through Detailed Analysis and Simulation of Cycle Times
DownloadFall 2018
The objective of this thesis is to develop, implement and verify a theoretical framework based on detailed analyses and simulation of truck and shovel cycle times in open pit mining, placing an emphasis on the hauling component of the cycle. The goal is to improve the generation of accurate and...

Incorporation of 3-D Mixing in Long-term Production Scheduling Optimization for Block Caving Mines
DownloadFall 2018
As open-pit mines go deeper, because of the massive amount of waste removal which is required to extract the ore as well as high operational costs per tonne, underground mining has become more attractive. Block caving is the only underground mining method that its production rates and...
