Abstract >>
Based on numerical modeling of stress–strain state of rocks and the in situ deformation monitoring of rocks mass surrounding underground excavations, the authors determine limit criteria of geomechanical stability of mine structural elements in terms of the Aikhal Mine where mining has been transferred under the worked-out open pit bottom. Using the determined criteria, the stress–strain state and subsidence of the crown pillar are assessed, considering current stage of the water table in the open pit. The article gives predictive estimate of the change in the stress–strain state and subsidence of the crown pillar upon the water level raising.

Stochastic Mine Production Scheduling with Multiple Processes: Application at Escondida Norte, Chile

L. MONTIEL, R. DIMITRAKOPOULOS
McGill University, Montreal, H3A 2A7 Qc, Canada
Keywords: mining complex, simulated annealing, multiple ore processing streams, mine production scheduling

Abstract >>
Mining complexes can contain multiple mines operating simultaneously along with multiple processing streams, stockpiles and products. Stochastic optimization methods developed to date generateonly local optimal solutions in the sense that they do not consider the entire mining complex. This paper presents an extension of a multi-stage method used for generating long-term risk-based mine production schedules, to operations with multiple rock types and processing streams. The developed method uses a simulated annealing based algorithm during the optimization stage, seeking to minimize deviations from production targets for waste and different ore processing streams. The proposed approach is applied at Escondida Norte copper deposit, Chile, in which sulphide, oxide, mixed and waste materials are present with milling, bio-leaching and acid-leaching being the available processing streams. The stochastic schedule generates expected deviations from mill and waste production targets smaller than 5%, which avoid indirect costs associated to idle capacities. A schedule generated conventionally exhibits expected deviations of the order of 20%.
