open pit mining network flow

3 Technologies in Exploration, Mining, and Processing ...

In open-pit mining waste is transported to a disposal site, and the ore is transported to a downstream processing site. This method commonly involves a sequence of benches from the surface to the deposit. As the open pit goes deeper into the ground, all of the benches above are extended outward.

1.1 PHASES OF A MINING PROJECT - ELAW

1.1.3.1 Open-pit mining Open-pit mining is a type of strip mining in which the ore deposit extends very deep in the ground, necessitating the removal of layer upon layer of overburden and ore. In many cases, logging of trees and clear-cutting or burning of vegetation above the ore deposit may precede removal of the overburden. The

This algorithm is used in most commercial software packages for open-pit mining. This paper describes a detailed study of the LG algorithm as compared to the maximum flow "push-relabel" algorithm. We propose here an efficient implementation of the push-relabel algorithm adapted to the features of the open-pit mining problem.

Closure problem - Wikipedia

An open pit mine may be modeled as a set of blocks of material which may be removed by mining it once all the blocks directly above it have been removed. A block has a total value, equal to the value of the minerals that can be extracted from it minus the cost of removal and extraction; in some cases, a block has no extraction value but must ...

Stochastic Open Pit Design with a Network Flow Algorithm ...

In the optimization of open pit mine design, the Lerchs-Grossmann algorithm is the industry standard, although network flow algorithms are also well suited, efficient, and known. The stochastic version of the conventional (deterministic) network flow algorithm is based on the use of multiple simulated realizations of the ore deposit, thus accounting for geological uncertainty.

Optimized open pit mine design, pushbacks and the gap ...

Existing methods of pushback (phase) design are reviewed in the context of "gap" problems, a term used to describe inconsistent sizes between successive pushbacks. Such gap problems lead to suboptimal open pit mining designs in terms of maximizing net present value. Methods such as the Lerchs-Grossman algorithm, network flow techniques, the fundamental tree algorithm, and …

The open-pit mining problem is known in the graph theory literature as the maximum closure problem. The maximum closure problem (and therefore also the open pit mining problem) is known to be solvable by the maximum flow that is constructed on a certain related network, as shown by Picard (1976). This makes the entire repertoire

Open Pit Mining - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

8.2.3.1 Open pit mining. Open pit mining refers to mining directly on the ground surface, thereby producing an open pit. This method is practical and cost-effective when the uranium ore is located near the surface (e.g., within 100 m). Underground mining and ISL methods may be considered for sites that have uranium ores at deeper depths.

Equipment Selection for Surface Mining: A Review

A surface mine contains pits with mineral endowed rock (or ore). We extract ore that lies within the upper layer of the earth, from surface mines (Fricke, 2006) . This ore can include metals such as iron, copper, coal and gold. There are several methods of surface mining, including open-pit, stripping, dredging and mountain-top removal.
