Strategic planning of open pit mining operations using the Micromine Beyond Optimiser
V International Conference “ESSAYS OF MINING SCIENCE AND PRACTICE” 8-10 November 2023
Modern software products allow to determine the quantity and quality of ore at any point of the deposit and, accordingly, to identify the optimal pit shell using specialized
algorithms. Such algorithms make it possible to create the final open pit shell even with a broken bottom for several neighboring ore bodies. Currently, optimization solutions in the mining industry require the determination of the maximum present value of profit or the minimum stated costs. It allows to make strategic planning decisions. Strategic planning of open-pit mining operations in the development of mineral deposits in Ukraine can be implemented using the Micromine Beyond Pit Optimiser. The authors considered the parameters that affect the boundaries of the pit field and the optimization criteria.
