Evaluation of Underground Mineable Reserve in Presence of Grade and Commodity Price Uncertainties

M. Shenavar; M. Ataee-pour; M. Rahmanpour

Volume 12, Issue 2 , April 2021, , Pages 385-396

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2021.10301.1974

Abstract
  The uncertainty-based mine evaluation and optimization have been regarded as a critical issue. However, it has received less attention in the underground mines than in the open-pit mines due to the diversity of the underground mining methods, and the underground mining parameters' complexity. The grade ...  Read More

Application of Sequential Gaussian Conditional Simulation to Underground Mine Design Under Grade Uncertainty

F. Sotoudeh; M. Ataei; R. Kakaie; Y. Pourrahimian

Volume 11, Issue 3 , July 2020, , Pages 695-709

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2019.7333.1582

Abstract
  In mining projects, all uncertainties associated with a project must be considered to determine the feasibility study. Grade uncertainty is one of the major components of technical uncertainty that affects the variability of the project. Geostatistical simulation, as a reliable approach, is the most ...  Read More

A Comprehensive Study of Several Meta-Heuristic Algorithms for Open-Pit Mine Production Scheduling Problem Considering Grade Uncertainty

K. Tolouei; E. Moosavi; A.H. Bangian Tabrizi; P. Afzal; A. Aghajani Bazzazi

Volume 11, Issue 3 , July 2020, , Pages 721-736

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2020.9127.1803

Abstract
  It is significant to discover a global optimization in the problems dealing with large dimensional scales to increase the quality of decision-making in the mining operation. It has been broadly confirmed that the long-term production scheduling (LTPS) problem performs a main role in mining projects to ...  Read More

UPL determination of multi-element deposits with grade uncertainty using a new block economic value calculation approach

M. Jamshidi; M. Osanloo

Volume 9, Issue 1 , January 2018, , Pages 61-72

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2017.5763.1387

Abstract
  The block economic value (BEV) of a single-metal deposit is calculated based on the metal content and the related costs. The common methods available for calculating BEV are just based upon the profitable elements, and the effects of undesirable elements on BEV are not considered. However, in multi-element ...  Read More
