In seeking to maximise NPV (Net Present Value), open pit mining schedules depend on
optimal sequencing of pit progress along with ore-waste segregation. Although extensively …

The need for a sustainable mining waste management/legislation and mineral recovery from
tailings is increasing day by day in the world. There is a need to draw a perspective for …

Reducing the footprint of waste rock dumping would result in cost savings and mitigate the
environmental impacts of mining. This study develops a mixed integer programming model …

This study considered and developed four artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to estimate
mining capital cost (MCC) for open-pit copper mining projects with high accuracy, including …

Mining environmental liabilities (MEL) are of great concern because of potential risks to
ecosystems and human health. In this research, the environmental risk (RI) related to MEL …

Internal (in-pit) dumping is a sustainable waste rock management approach that can
mitigate the potential adverse environmental, social, and economic impacts of conventional …

Abstract Mining Waste Regulation in Türkiye entered into force on 15/07/2015. The
important issues envisaged in the Regulation are as follows: Determination of waste …

Mining complexes are comprised of multiple mines and mineral processing streams, each
governed by internal (mineral deposit, operation) and external (commodity prices) …

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 …

Simultaneous stochastic optimisation manages risk and capitalises on the unique
interactions that occur in a mining complex, where materials are transferred between mines …
