Incorporation of ore grade uncertainty into the push …

There may be many alternative push back sequences for an open pit, which can result in obtaining different NPV from a mining project. Since the 1960s many push back design algorithms have been developed. Two strategies were followed through the previous push back design algorithms: 1. Determining the push backs with the assumption that the best ...

Uncertainty Based Push-Back Design Algorithm In Open Pit …

In open pit mine planning and design, push back mine sequencing is widely used for long-term production planning. In push back design, a series of nested pits is generated and then considered as possible push backs with regard to the minimum push back width requirements. These nested pits are produced by parameterizing on one economic parameters like …

mining push backs and final pit limit. The process of devel­ oping geology plan maps is illustrated in Fig. 2. Cross-section maps are developed in a similar manner. Rock Fabric Data Collection To develop an understanding of minor geologic features, such as joint sets or foliation, mapping must provide a sys­ tematic and consistent measurement.

(PDF) Working Slope Angles and Open-Pit Mining …

The revised slope design has factors of safety in the range of 1.0 to 1.2, probabilities of failure of ten to 38 per cent, and increased slope angles of between 3° and 5° with respect to the original design. The pit deepening with these design slopes will deliver an extra two million tonnes of ore which will have a significant positive impact ...

Optimizing the number of open pit mine push backs

Push backs used in the production planning of open pit mines play an integral role in generating annual cash flow. ... different algorithms have been implemented for the push back design of a cross section of a copper deposit and the results discussed. Moreover, the optimum number of push backs has been determined using analytical and multiple ...

Currently, planning and design software have the aim to determine the limits of the ultimate pit using algorithms as published by (Lerchs & Grossmann 1965). Additionally, by varying the price of the metal, several push backs of the ultimate pit are created, generating nested pits with the purpose of establishing a mining sequence.

An Alternative Approach to Push-Back Design

To create push-backs not exceeding a fixed overall tonnage and ore tonnage we developed an integer optimization model. Iteratively solving the model yields a series of push-backs. Due to the large data volume encountered in mining the model cannot be solved exactly in reasonable time.
