Abstract In an Open-Pit Production Scheduling (OPPS) problem, the aim is to determine the
mining sequence of an orebody as a block model. In common research methods for …

To solve the problem of time-consuming and low precision in updating the open-pit vehicle
transportation network, a high precision road network model construction method for …

Production scheduling plays a pivotal role in successfully executing any open-pit mining
operation. It defines the most profitable extraction sequence of mineralized material from the …

Mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM) is a multi-staged process aiming at delimiting
exploration targets. Experts' knowledge is an indispensable component of MPM, and might …

Open pit mine production scheduling is a computationally expensive large-scale mixed-
integer linear programming problem. This research develops a computationally efficient …

The aim of long-term mine planning (LTMP) is two-fold: to maximize the net present value of
profits (NPV) and determine how ores are sequentially processed over the lifetime. This …

Mineral extraction is a significantly impacted activity. In several countries, this contribution of
mineral extraction is very relevant due to the global scales of mining assets in the soil. Large …

The importance of strategic mine planning to ensure the long-term viability of mining projects
has increased significantly because of the limited availability of high-grade ore deposits …

Given the dwindling number of successful exploration projects, controlling the ever-rising
risk and cost of exploration surveys appears important. Mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM) …
