Ultimate Pit Limit Design
In open pit mine planning, the design of the most profitable ultimate pit limit is a prerequisite to developing a feasible mining sequence. Presently, the design of an ultimate pit is achieved through a computer program in most of the mining companies. 3-D block model is commonly applied to represent geologic and economic information of an orebody. Once the deposit is divided into rectangular ...
Determination of Ultimate Pit Limits in Open Mines Using ...
Abstract: Planning and design procedure of an open pit mining project just can be started after ultimate pit determination. In the carried out study in this stone it was shown that the most important factor in ultimate pit determination and in consequence in the whole planning and design procedure of an open pit mine is the metal price. Metal price fluctuations in recent years were exaggerated ...
Mathematical relationship between ultimate pit …
Ultimate pit limit is an important aspect of open pit mining. The optimal ultimate outline determines the tonnage of extractable ore, the volume of waste to be removed, the location of the subsidiary facilities, the location of ore and waste stockpiles, the life time of the mine and the estimated net present value (NPV) of the entire mining operation.

tambang: Ultimate Pit Definition
The ultimate pit limit will represent the maximum boundary of all material meeting these criteria. The material contained in the pit will meet two objectives. A block will not be mined unless it can pay all costs for its mining, processing, and marketing and for stripping the waste above the block. For conservation of resources, any block meeting the first objective will be included in the pit ...
The Advantages of Open Pit Mining | Sciencing
Open pit mining does offer some advantages over traditional deep shaft mining. Pit mining is more cost effective than shaft mining because more ore can be extracted and more quickly. The working conditions are safer for the miners because there is no risk of cave …
Stripping ratio and pit limit - Basic Mining …
The units for stripping ratios can vary and usually depends on the geological properties of the deposit and the commodity mined. It can be expressed in tonnes (t), or cubic meters (m 3).Usually for coal, cubic meters (m 3) or tonnes (t) are used.However, for hard rock mines where the geology is usually complex with the presence of various rock types, tonnage (t) is usually preferred.
A technique for assessing ultimate open-pit mine limits in ...
This thesis describes a computer-based technique for assessing ultimate open-pit mine limits. The method accounts for uncertainties in the economic conditions that affect ultimate pit limits including mining and processing costs and mineral prices. The proposed technique is called the …
Basics of an open pit mine - Mine Engineer.Com
Open pit mines can be used in coal mining, and they are used extensively in "hard rock" mining for ores such as metal ores, copper, gold, iron, aluminum, and many minerals. In a open pit coal mine, the pit bottom would be the bottom mined coal seam elevation, since it is usually feasible to extract multiple seams when surface mining coal. In a hard rock mine, the bottom of the pit would be the ...

Study of Slope Stability (Open Pit Mining, Algeria ...
12.07.2017 · As the mining method is turning from open pit mining to sag by mining, the vertical height of open-pit mine slope continues to increase, the slope deformation and failure mode has close relationship with regional geological structure characteristics and the rock mass structure feature, the stability is influenced largely by rock mass, joints and fissures, and blasting vibration (Qiao and Li 2004).
Production phase and ultimate pit limit design …
Open pit mine design optimization under uncertainty is one of the most critical and challenging tasks in the mine planning process. This stone describes the implementation of a minimum cut network flow algorithm for the optimal production phase and ultimate pit …
