    Planning in mining is an iterative process that varies depending on the stage of the mining project life cycle. The stages include exploration, discovery, assessment, development, production, and closure. Feasibility studies are important for planning and involve determining the optimal mining method, equipment selection, and economic limits. Key factors considered include the strip ratio, cut-off grade, and costs versus revenue.

    BEST PRACTICE IN

    MINE PLANNING

    planning is an iterative process

    planning, an integral part of mining


    stages in life cycle of a mining project include:

    exploration
    discovery
    assessment
    development
    production
    closure

    Evaluation phase
    Operations phase

    purpose of planning varies with each stage

    FEASIBILITY STUDY CHECK LIST

    MINING METHOD
    Mining method

    open pit

    strip mining, conv. open cut, haul back .


    truck and shovel

    underground

    Equipment type

    Loading unit selection and size


    Truck selection and size

    Support equipment

    ECONOMIC PIT LIMITS


    Breakeven or Economic Strip Ratio =
    (Recoverable value/ ore t. - (production cost/ore t. + minimum profit))
    stripping cost / waste t.

    Cut off grade = Cut off grade =


    (treatment cost/ore t. + fixed costs/ ore t.)
    ((sales price per lb - marketing cost per lb) * metal recovery) / 2204.6 lb/t

    variation in accuracy with studies
