In the open-pit mining, one of the first decisions that must be made in production planning stage, after completing the design of final pit limits, is determining of the processing plant cut-off grade. Since this grade has an essential effect on operations, choosing the optimum cut-off grade is of considerable importance. Different goals may be used for determining optimum cut-off grade. One of...

In order to catch up with reality, all the macro-decisions related to long-term mining production planning must be made simultaneously and under uncertain conditions of determinant parameters. By taking advantage of the chance-constrained programming, this paper presents a stochastic model to create an optimal strategy for producing bimetallic deposit open-pit mines under certain and uncertain ...

A vehicle proximity warning collision avoidance system is being developed using GPS and wireless local area networks to improve safety of off-highway trucks in open pit mines. After two an a half years of research, software development, and laboratory testing, field tests were carried out at operating limestone quarries and open pit mining operations to evaluate GPS accuracy and overall system ...

Knowledge Pit (https://knowledgepit.fedcsis.org) is a web platform created to facilitate organization of data mining competitions. Its main aim is to stimulate collaborative research for solving practical problems related to real-life applications of predictive analysis and decision support systems. What makes Knowledge Pit different from other data challenge platforms is the fact that it is a ...
