There is an everlasting distance and interdependence between mines and end-users as it
involves different types of equipment, infrastructure, and facilities, including excavators …

Global optimization for mining complexes aims to generate a production schedule for the
various mines and processing streams that maximizes the economic value of the enterprise …

Recent developments in modelling and optimization approaches for the production of
mineral and energy resources have resulted in new simultaneous stochastic optimization …

This study presents a comprehensive mathematical formulation model for a short-term open-
pit mine block sequencing problem, which considers nearly all relevant technical aspects in …

We consider the multiple-time-period, short-term production scheduling problem for a
network of multiple open-pit mines and ports. Ore produced at each mine, in each period, is …

Industrial mining complexes can be optimized using simultaneous stochastic optimization
(SSO), which manages the risks associated with meeting production targets while …

Mining is an important economic activity and a highly complex industry. As such, it demands
a complex supply chain to connect mines to clients, often involving railways, ports and long …

A serious problem faced by the metal mineral mining industry is the challenge to the
sustainable development of resource mining due to the continuous decline of ore geological …

We consider the short-term production scheduling problem for a network of multiple open-pit
mines and ports. Ore produced at each mine is transported by rail to a set of ports and …

A critical component in a coal export supply chain is the stockyard at a terminal, as this is
where coal from different mines is “mixed” in a stockpile before being loaded onto vessels …
