Development of a computer-aided application using Lane's algorithm to optimize cut-off grade.

Githiria, J.; Musingwini, C.; Muriuki, J. (The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy., 2016-11)

The maximization of net present value (NPV) is a primary objective in open pit mine planning processes. In an attempt to meet this objective, cut-off grades are considered in all the stages of mining. There are three stages ...
Modelling open pit shovel-truck systems using the Machine Repair Model.

Krause, A.; Musingwini, C. (The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy., 2007-08)

Shovel-truck systems for loading and hauling material in open pit mines are now routinely analysed using simulation models or off-the-shelf simulation software packages, which can be very expensive for once-off or occasional ...
Presidential address: Optimization in underground mine planning-developments and opportunities.

Musingwini, C. (The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy., 2016-09)

The application of mining-specific and generic optimization techniques in the mining industry is deeply rooted in the discipline of operations research (OR). OR has its origins in the British Royal Air Force and Army around ...
Techno-economic optimization of level and raise spacing in Bushveld Complex platinum reef conventional breast mining.

Musingwini, C. (The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy., 2010-08)

The Bushveld Complex is economically significant and strategically important to South Africa, thus it is imperative that optimal extraction of platinum group metal (PGM) resources on the Bushveld Complex is achieved. Optimal ...
