Stope boundary optimisation in underground mining based on a heuristic approachStope boundary optimisation in underground mining based on a heuristic approach

Stope optimisation is pivotal to maximisation of NPV of an underground mining project. However, none of the algorithms developed for stope optimisation guarantees optimal stope layout due to the computational complexity of the problem. The research proposes an innovative heuristic based algorithm to...
