Due to applications of optimization techniques developed in the early 1960*s, for example, Chuquicamata Open Pit Mine in Chile reevaluated their cutoff grade strategy and improved Net Present Value (NPV) of their '' operations by USS800M.

Abstract The erstwhile Nkroful Mining Limited (NML) had a concession with an approximate area of km2 located at Nkroful in the Nzema East District of the Western Region of Ghana.
Key words: Open pit mining, bench height, multicriteria decision making. INTRODUCTION As a definition in open pit mining, bench height is the vertical distance between crest and toe of the bench (Fourie and Dohm, 1992). Determination of optimum bench height is a major concern in most open pit
A common approach to determining open pit to underground cutover,is to focus on the economic size of the open pit. Consideration of underground mining is secondary and is based on the remaining resource outside this pit. This is the simplest approach. It can be determined using any one of a number of commercially available pit optimization
Optimization of Open Pit Mining under Surpac and Whittle Application to the implementation of various techniques: geological technical economic optimization, etc. In the case of conventional openpit operations, the optimization of the trench, which aims to design a pit allowing both a very good recovery of the
are also widely accepted in the mining industry. Both software are menu driven and combine as a powerful tool for open pit optimisation and design. 2 Materials and Methods Used Surpac and Whittle software are used for pit optimisation and design in this work.

Amankw, H. (2011). Mathematical Optimization Models and Methods for OpenPit Mining. Doctoral dissertation. ISBN . ISSN . Openpit mining is an operation in which blocks from the ground are dug to extract the ore contained in them, and in this process a deeper and deeper pit is formed until the mining operation ends.
A common approach to determining open pit to underground cutover,is to focus on the economic size of the open pit. Consideration of underground mining is secondary and is based on the remaining resource outside this pit. This is the simplest approach.

The applications included in pit optimisation are orebody modelling, orereservation estimation, the design of optimum pits, the determination of optimum blends, the determination of optimal production schedules, optimal operating layouts, the best equipment maintenance and replacement policies as well as a wide range of logistic problems that could occur.
These techniques cannot be applied directly to the underground mining problems, but can be used if all the constraints leaving the slope constraint are embedded in the objective problem itself (Dagdelen and Johnson, 1986). As in open pit problems, every block is moved towards the

This paper demonstrates the application of Surpac and Whittle in open pit optimisation and design. Exploration data on the Tabakoto deposit of AngloGold Ashanti Sadiola Mine (AASM) has established
#0183;#32;The optimization study was based on three scenarios namely: (i) open pit mining only (OP); (ii) open stope mining only (OS); and (iii) concurrent open pit and open stope mining (COPOS). All scenarios were based on a high preproduction capital with corresponding lower operating costs.
#0183;#32;The proposed algorithms are based on network flow method, an effective technique applied in open pit optimization.
The economic viability of the modern day mine is highly dependent upon careful planning and management. Declining trends in average ore grades, increasing mining costs and environmental considerations will ensure that this situation will remain in the foreseeable future. The operation and management of a large open pit mine having a life of several years is an enormous and complex task.
An openpit mine consists of a set of pits, in which horizontal layers of material (benches) are extracted from the top down. Openpit mining is suitable for orebodies located close to the surface, with underground mining techniques typically applied where this is not the case. Metal ores including iron, copper, and gold,
