This review examines the current state-of-the-art in short-term planning for open-pit mines,
with a granularity that spans days, weeks or months, and a horizon of less than one to two …

There is an everlasting distance and interdependence between mines and end-users as it
involves different types of equipment, infrastructure, and facilities, including excavators …

This paper presents a detailed description of a particular class of deterministic single
product Maritime Inventory Routing Problems (MIRPs), which we call deep-sea MIRPs with …

Given a discretized representation of an ore body known as a block model, the open pit
mining production scheduling problem that we consider consists of defining which blocks to …

Long-term open-pit mine planning is a critical stage of a mining project that seeks to
establish the best strategy for extracting mineral resources, based on the assumption of …

Production scheduling is a critical activity for the long-term production planning of open pit
mining operations. It deals with the effective management of resources and maximizes cash …

Uranium, a cornerstone for nuclear energy, facilitates a clean and efficient energy
conversion. In the era of global clean energy initiatives, uranium resources have emerged …

Dexing City is an important mining city in China, abounding in copper ore, lead ore, zinc ore,
and other metal resources, and there are two large open-pit mines in its territory, Dexing …

In order to establish a production plan, an open-pit mine is partitioned into a three-
dimensional array of blocks. The order in which blocks are extracted and processed has a …

The open pit mine production scheduling problem determines a sequence of three-
dimensional, notional block extraction that maximises net present value (NPV) of future cash …
