Abstract: In order to maximize the pit value and achieve final pit design in a safe manner, the Grasberg surface mine initiated the slope optimization program in fourth quarter 2017; this program lasted 15 months before achieving the final pit. The optimization program focused on the Grasberg Intrusive Complex at radial sector 200˚- 360˚ with final Inter-ramp Slope Angle (ISA) up to 60˚.
Optimizing Open-Pit Truck Route Based on Minimization of ...
This paper addresses a special truck routing optimization problem in open-pit mines based on the minimization of time-varying transport energy consumption. A mixed-integer programming model is formulated to clearly describe the engineering problem, and a series of constraints are deduced to strengthen the model. To ensure that the model has time-varying characteristics, a …

Open-pit mining - Wikipedia
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.. This form of mining differs from extractive methods that require tunnelling into the earth, such as long wall mining.Open-pit mines are used when deposits of commercially useful ore or rocks ...
