PROBLEMS
1. Use the economic parameters given to estimate the total costs, total revenues and the economic
block values (EBVs) for extracting waste blocks and extracting and processing ore blocks from each
bench.
[20]
2. Using the floating cone algorithm, obtain the optimized pit layout, the mineable reserves, the
optimized pit value and the associated stripping ratios in tons/ton based on the EBVs created in
problem 1.
[25]
3. a) Create an excel sheet that implements Learch-Grossman (LG) algorithm. The excel file must be
able to take the 2-D sections of this mine and the economic parameters as input and generates the
optimum pit value using the LG algorithm.
b) Use the file created in part-a to obtain the optimized pit layout (using LG algorithm), the
mineable reserves, the optimized pit value and the associated stripping ratios in tons/ton, bank
cubic meters/ton.
[50]
4. Comment on your results in Problem 2 and Problem 4.
