This work is concerned with the real-time truck dispatching problem in open-pit mining operations. The proposed methodology is built on a multi-stage dispatching approach to optimize the truck-shovel material handling systems. The procedure consists of two main stages: allocation planning and dynamic allocation. At first, a scenario-based …
Open-pit mining, also known as open-cast or open cut mining, is a surface mining technique of extracting rock or minerals from the earth by their removal from an open-air pit, sometimes known as a borrow. Open-pit mines are used when deposits of commercially useful ore or rocks are found near the surface. The mined material is …
mining-engineering conditions for open-pit mining of steeply dipping deposits require changes in technologies and methods of subsurface use. As the depth of the quarries increases, the current stripping ratio increases. In the course of lowering mining operations, the overburden amount increases and reaches a maximum at the time
Open-pit mining is commonly used to extract metallic ores like aluminum, bauxite, copper, gold, copper, and iron as well as non-metallic ores like coal, uranium, and phosphate. Open-pit mining is ...
Miners can unearth surface material through strip mining, quarrying, and open-pit mining. In addition, those different mining methods bring various mining equipment into the enclosed environment of underground work, such as massive earth-moving trucks and rotary drill rigs. Surface and blast mining often go hand-in-hand …
In an operating open-pit mine, improving the productivity of heavy mining equipment (HME) enables the unit cost of production to be reduced. To optimize HME productivity, the Kolomela open-pit ...
This paper reviews the current state of digital early warning platforms for open-pit mines using a Web of Science database search for pertinent literature. The …
Maintenance. The maintenance program is vital to the success of any open pit mining operation. Repair and maintenance can be expected to account for 40 to 50 percent of direct mining costs. The need for careful initial planning often goes unrecognized, and this leads to underestimation of personnel and facility requirements.
While application of such technologies can be limited at operations such as open-pit mining, there are opportunities to implement mitigation technologies in underground mining to reduce GHG ...
Bazzazi et al. [28] assessed a combination of the AHP and TOPSIS techniques to select optimal loading-haulage equipment for the Sungun open pit mine in Iran. Bascetin [29] recommended a decision ...
Open-pit mining, or opencast mining, is a surface mining technique used for large-scale operations. It involves extracting minerals from a pit by removing waste rock …
Coal seam that is thinner than a certain value is defined as thin coal seams (TCS). It commonly occurs in China as it covers 84.2% of the mining area. This situation is even severe in China's large surface coal mines, in which TCS accounts for 10–50% of the total reserve. Most TCS cannot be feasibly mined due to the working conditions of …
Shovel-truck systems are most common in open pit mining. Two available techniques to analyse these systems, linear programming and queuing models, are used and compared in this study. The most important factor in every operation is profitability. Productivity of equipment used is an important factor of profitability.

to other open-pit mining operations. Keywords open-pit mining, productivity, heavy mining equipment, short-term mine planning. Introduction One of the major objectives of mining companies is to minimize the unit cost of production at their operations. Lumley and McKee (2014) indicated that mining companies adopt one of two operational
This paper discusses the exploitation of economies of scale in open pit mining through the use of increasingly larger equipment. It presents a method adopted to evaluate the impact of increased scale on operational performance factors. The work identifies equipment size sensitive variables (ESSVs) in the mine design process that …
Abstract Over the past century, open pit mines have steadily increased their production rate. Larger equipment and new technologies make it possible to mine larger batches of materials in a shorter time. Low commodity prices have forced companies to decrease their unit cost, by using new technologies and improving productivity. In the …
