Transition from open-pit to underground – using Integer Programming considering grade uncertainty

The determination of transition point from open-pit (OP) to underground (UG) is one of the most challenging mining engineering problems. The shallow deposits which vertically extend to considerable depth will have potential to make the transition from OP to UG. In this paper, Mixed Integer Programmi...
