Analyzing the effect of ore grade uncertainty in open pit mine planning; A case study of Rezvan iron mine, Iran
Due to uncertain nature of grade in ore deposits, considering uncertainty is inevitable in geological modelling of resources and mine planning. In other words, uncertainty in grade of mineralized materials, is one of the most significant parameters need attention in mine planning. In this paper, a comparative procedure utilizing Sequential Gaussian Simulation (SGS) and traditional Ordinary Krig...
متن کاملJoint stochastic optimisation of short and long term mine production planning: method and application in a large operating gold mine
A new multistage stochastic mine production scheduling approach is developed and tested in a large operating gold mine. The approach takes short scale orebody information in the form of grade control data into account. As simulated orebodies used in stochastic long term mine planning are based on sparse exploration data while grade control data are unavailable at the time of production scheduli...
متن کاملLong Term Cost Effective Preventive Maintenance Scheduling
Preventive maintenance scheduling of generating units is addressed as a long-term scheduling in power system studies aiming to increase the reliability incorporating cost reduction. It consists of knowing which generating units should be shut down for regular safety inspection. In this paper, a new formulation of preventive maintenance scheduling associated with cost reduction index (CRI) is pr...
متن کاملMine Valuation in the Presence of a Stochastic Ore-Grade Uncertainty
Mining companies world-wide are faced with the problem of how to accurately value and plan extraction projects subject to uncertainty in both future price and ore grade. Whilst the methodology of modelling price uncertainty is reasonably well understood, modelling ore-grade uncertainty is a much harder problem to formulate, and when attempts have been made the solutions take unfeasibly long tim...
متن کاملA Comprehensive Study of Several Meta-Heuristic Algorithms for Open-Pit Mine Production Scheduling Problem Considering Grade Uncertainty
It is significant to discover a global optimization in the problems dealing with large dimensional scales to increase the quality of decision-making in the mining operation. It has been broadly confirmed that the long-term production scheduling (LTPS) problem performs a main role in mining projects to develop the performance regarding the obtainability of constraints, while maximizing the whole...
