Strategic mining options optimization: Open pit mining ...

2016-11-1  Abstract. Near-surface deposits that extend to considerable depths are often amenable to both open pit mining and/or underground mining. This paper investigates the strategy of mining options for an orebody using a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) optimization framework. The MILP formulation maximizes the Net Present Value (NPV) of the ...

Ground-Water Problems in Open-Pit and Underground

Ground water constitutes a significant operational problem and potential hazard in open-pit and underground mining. The pressure of ground water in geologic discontinuities adversely affects the safety of height and slope angles of open-pit mines, justifying measures to reduce ground-water pressures in their vicinity. The principal hazard in underground mining and tunneling arises from massive ...
