Simultaneous Optimization of Mine Production Rate and Cut-off Grade Using Particle Swarm Optimization

Javad Lotfi Godarzi; Ahmad Reza Sayadi; Amin Mousavi; Micah Nehring

Articles in Press, Accepted Manuscript, Available Online from 24 November 2024

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2024.13943.2601

Abstract
  The production rate and cut-off grade are two critical variables in the design and planning of open-pit mines. Generally, the production rate depends on the reserve amount, which is influenced by the cut-off grade. Additionally, the cut-off grade is affected by the production cost, which is influenced ...  Read More

Highest-Level Implementation of Push–Relabel Algorithm to Solve Ultimate Pit Limit Problem

M. Talaei; A. Mousavi; A. R. Sayadi

Volume 12, Issue 2 , April 2021, , Pages 443-455

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2021.10481.1999

Abstract
  Nowadays due to the existence of the economic and geological uncertainties and the increasing use of scenario-based project evaluation in the design of open-pit mines, it is necessary to find an exact algorithm that can determine the ultimate pit limit in a short period of time. Determining the ultimate ...  Read More

Development of An Integrated Mathematical Model to Optimize Waste Rock dumping Satisfying Environmental Aspects

T. Ramezanalizadeh; M. Monjezi; A. R. Sayadi; A. Mousavinogholi

Volume 11, Issue 2 , April 2020, , Pages 577-586

https://doi.org/10.22044/jme.2020.9293.1829

Abstract
  Waste rock dumping is very important in the production planning of open-pit mines. This subject is more crucial when there is a potential of acid-forming (PAF) by waste rocks. In such a type of mines, to protect the environment, the PAF materials should be encapsulated by non-harmful rocks. Therefore, ...  Read More
