Open Pit Mining Equipment Planning

A hierarchy of planning activities take place over the life of an open-pit mine { from operational or day-to-day decision-making on the positioning of equipment, truck dispatch, and control of crusher feed characteristics or quality; to long-term and strategic decision-making on the timing of

Jan 09, 2016 Scrapers are sometimes used in special situations. Large bucket-wheel excavators of the kind used in European coal mines have not been applied to metal mining, because this equipment is best adapted to softer bedded, relatively flat-lying strata. Many factors govern the size and shape of an open pit. These must be properly understood and used in the planning of any open pit operation

Abstract. Determination of ultimate pit limit, and sequence of blocks extraction through the mine life is referred as mine design and planning. The aim of mine design and planning is to develop a yearly extraction plan which guides the mining operation to the highest Net Present Value (NPV). Future mines are going to be giant mines that exploit low grade material

Open pit mining refers to mining directly on the ground surface, thereby producing an open pit. This method is practical and cost-effective when the uranium ore is located near the surface (e.g., within 100 m). Underground mining and ISL methods may be considered for sites that have uranium ores at
