Performance evaluation of a new stochastic network flow approach to optimal open pit mine design - application at a gold mine

The optimal design of production phases and ultimate pit limit foran open pit mining operation may be generated using conventionalor stochastic approaches. Unlike the conventional approach, thestochastic framework accounts for expected variability anduncertainty in metal content by considering a set...
