About this Unit

This unit deals with the cascading planning horizons that govern mining operations. It underlines the importance of systems thinking towards mine planning. It first presents key concepts for strategic mine planning in surface and underground mining operations, emphasising the need to consider sustainability as part of the planning process. The unit then focuses on the application of algorithms and mining software to establish the extent and sequence of production in mining operations. Students will be exposed to the development and implementation of mathematical models for mine planning and will solve mining operations-related problems using authentic data sets. Students will also visualise strategic and operational mine plans through utilisation of advanced technologies. This unit requires participation in 2 days of fieldwork activities.
