A new open-pit mine planning optimization method using block aggregation and integer programming

© The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 2018. Mathematical programming has been applied to optimizing open pit mine planning problems since the early 1960s. Nonetheless, it still remains challenging to obtain a life-of-mine plan with current computational hardware and software, mo...
