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.

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.

Small changes in the overall pit slope angle have large consequences on the overall economy of the mining operation. A case in particular is the Aitik open pit mine in northern Sweden, which currently faces the design of ...

WhatsApp: +86 18203695377The 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.
WhatsApp: +86 18203695377In 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.

At one mine, it may be desirable to plan for blending variations in the ore so as to maintain, as nearly as possible, a uniform feed to the mill. At another operation it may be desirable to completely separate two kinds of ...

Surface mining operations can be classified into open pit, opencast, strip, alluvial and insitu mining, depending on method of mining being considered (Hartman, 1987). Openpit mining is a method of developing and exploiting the deposit by making a void in the surface, also known as pit and developing it sequentially to extract the ores.

In openpit mining, there is a clear trend of excavating mines of increasing depths (Figure 1a).Owing to the increased efficiency of mining equipment and improved exploration techniques and technology, the ore bodies left to be exploited are deeper (Figure 1b).The deeper a mine is, the higher the effect of pitwall steepness on the amount of waste rock to be excavated and ...
