Most open-cast mines require the removal of overburden and waste material to access the underlying orebody. This activity is known as 'stripping'. By their nature, all open pits become narrower with depth, and consequently the volume of waste to be stripped is largest on the upper benches that must be mined first. The problem is […]
Look for the expected Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) and Operational Expenditures (OPEX) in the feasibility study to get an idea of the project's costs. Capital expenditures refer to investments made by a mining company in fixed …
In this paper, data of 52 open pit porphyry copper mines have been collected. This study tries to benefit from Support Vector Regression theory to develop a cost estimation model.
The pit shell used for pit design is often selected based on the NPV vs RF curve, with a brief explanation of why the specific shell was selected. Typically it's the RF shell or something near the top of the NPV curve. However the pit optimization algorithm generates more data than just shown in the NPV graph.
· Open pit modelling was carried out using the currently defined JORC (2012) compliant Inferred Resource of 71Mt @ 0.44% Cu and 0.064 g/t Au at a cut-off of 0.3% Cu, as well as additional unclassified resources at ... capital expenditure needed to put the overall project into operation. The shallower drilling targets which
Capital Expenditure (CAPEX): The upfront costs required to build the infrastructure for the mine, including: Plant construction (mills, leach pads, etc.) Mining fleet (haul trucks, excavators, etc.)
Why is cost per ton an important KPI for open pit mining operations? Cost per ton measures the cost efficiency of mining operations by dividing total costs by total tonnage extracted. Monitoring this KPI helps identify areas where savings can be achieved, significantly influencing a …
In this thesis, we study the open-pit design problem, the open-pit mining scheduling problem, and the open-pit design problem with geological and price uncertainty. These problems give rise to (mixed) discrete optimization models that in real-life settings are large scale and computationally challenging. The open-pit design problem is to find ...
Semi-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) systems can help reduce truck haulage in open-pit mines by bringing the crusher closer to the excavation areas. Optimizing a production schedule with semi-mobile IPCC requires integrating extraction sequence, destination policy, crusher relocation, conveyor layout, and truck fleet investment decisions. A mining …

The stripping ratio is the amount of waste material that needs to be mined in an open pit relative to the amount of ore that is mined. So, if you need to remove two tonnes of waste for each tonne of ore, the stripping ratio is 2:1. ... Worldwide …
Truck-Shovel (TS) systems are the most common mining system currently used in large surface mines. They offer high productivity combined with the flexibility to be rapidly relocated and to adjust load/haul capacity and capital expenditure according to market conditions. As the world moves to decarbonise as part of the transition to net zero emission targets, it is …
This paper assesses two methods of cost-modeling for open-pit mining and heap-leaching of copper ores with copper recovery by solvent-extraction and electrowinning (SX/EW). We …
Taken an undisclosed open-pit iron mine as example, the UPL is optimized by considering the PSH benefit. The internalized PSH benefit is calculated to be 6.59 CN¥/t when the installed capacity is 2000 MW, and ore amount within the optimized UPL is increased by 1.4%. The results indicated that the PSH benefit does influence the shape and size ...
The results showed that this model is capable of estimating open pit porphyry copper mine capital expenditure in an acceptable range of error. 1. INTRODUCTION1. Capital costs are …

Pre-feasibility studies are those comprehensive studies of the feasibility of a mining project that has progressed to a stage where the method of extraction, in the case of underground mining, or pit configuration, in the case of open pit mining, as well as an effective method of ore processing, including a financial analysis based on ...
According to Guo et al. (2021), capital cost is one of the essential criteria for assessing the feasibility of underground and open-pit mines, with a heavy influence on the …
Open pit mines (average ∼$21,000,000) yield higher CAPEX than underground mines (average ∼$12,000,000), while the United States and Canada (average ∼$24,000,000) has the highest …

The advanced techniques in mining industry are also the influence methods on MCC as well as NPV of an open-pit mine (Demirel et al., 2018; Mai et al., 2018; Miao et al., 2017; Richmond, 2018; Rimélé et al., 2018; Ristovski et al., 2017). In briefly, MCC is a factor that has a great effect on the success of an open-pit mine project.
