Overview
This unit deals with the theoretical principles and practical methodologies associated with mine planning and scheduling. Mine planning is an interactive process that includes elements of design, scheduling and evaluation. As part of the planning process, a range of issues has to be considered including, short and long-term planning, mine optimisation, cut-off grade analysis and mine evaluation. The unit applies mine planning and scheduling techniques to a case-study project in current state-of-the-art software.
