Optimizing the contours of open pit mining with the use of mining and geological information systems and technologies

This article studies optimization of open pit mining using and geological information systems technologies. The aim the study is to develop an algorithm optimizing contour a system. Lerch-Grossman has been applied Whittle program. Justification for changing based on opening scheme, geometric characteristics special technical economic parameters blocks proposed. proposal provides increasing production efficiency reducing capital operating costs during development deposit. authors have come conclusion that functionality updated helps take into account market conditions when designing main make right decision at stage preparing deposit while existing contour.
