The design of pushbacks is essential to long-term open pit mine scheduling because it partitions the pit space into individual units, controlling ore and waste production. In this paper, a new model is proposed for the ...

The objective of this study is to integrate the admissible factor of safety (FoS) into the mine planning. The analysis showed, as expected, that a lower net present value (NPV) is obtained with the increase in the admissible ...

This article presents predictive statistical models for fragmentation in open pit mines using drill-and-blast data. The main contribution of this work is the proposing of statistical models to determine the correlations ...

The legacy of mining activities has typically been land 'returned to wildlife', or, at some sites, degraded to such an extent that it is unsuitable for any alternate use. Progress towards sustainability is made when value ...
