Abstract
Nowadays, the strategic mine planing is become very crucial for the sustainability of mining investments because of the lack of high grade ore reserves. In this sense, the mine production planing requires solving a complex optimization problem in order to identify the production sequence of the mining blocks which is profitable after mining activities. In this work, a block model with the dimensions of x: 10m, y:10m, z:10m is used. The grades of the blocks are assigned by the krigging method, which is an interpolation method, according to the 3 dimensional semi-variogram analysis. After grade assignment, the economic values of the blocks are calculated. Then with the help of SimSched software which is programmed by mixed integer programing and other heuristic methods, the production plan is simulated while satisfying equipment and process plant capacity constraints, slope constraints, cut-off constraints. Then the optimum production plan is achieved.
