The PhD study focuses on developing new optimisation models for the open pit mine planning and production scheduling using TopCone Algorithm and mathematical programming techniques. Specifically, TopCone Algorithm is a new block aggregation algorithm formulated to significantly reduce the scale of data fed into downstream mathematical programming-based production scheduling models. In addition, geological uncertainty of mineral deposits is integrated into the optimisation process to minimise its impact on meeting production targets. | en_US |
