Most of the algorithms used in the study and evaluation of ore deposits [1,2,3], in the calculation and design of economical pits [4,5], in mine production planning [] and in physical and numerical simulations of ore deposits [7,8,9,10] work with three-dimensional block models.A three-dimensional block model is a database in which each …
Dump design and scheduling are critical elements to effective mine planning, especially if several of them are required in large-scale open pit mines. Infrastructure capital and transportation costs are considerable from an early stage in the mining project, and through the life-of-mine as these dumps gradually become immense structures. Delivered mining …

The open pit mine optimization problem is concerned with the scheduling of mining activities over the life of an open pit mining project. Two variants of the problem commonly solved are (i) the ultimate pit limit problem and (ii) the open pit phase design problem. A closely related problem is the open pit production scheduling problem.

Lane's theory of cutoff grade optimization maximizes the Net Present Value (NPV) of an open pit mining operation with a declining effect as the deposit moves toward exhaustion. This declining effect of NPV defines dynamic cutoff grades, i.e. higher cutoff grades in the early years of mine life and lower cutoff grades in the later years.
An open pit mining operation is a complex system that constitutes several components or processes. An optimal production sequence that defines timing of extraction and a dynamic cut-off grade policy that defines the supply of materials from sources to destinations within the system are crucial to the success of an operation.
