Transition from open-pit to underground – using Mixed Integer Programming considering grade uncertainty J UNG1* 2, E. TOPAL and O.ERTEN3 1,2,3Department of Mining Engineering and Metallurgical Engineering –Western Australia School of Mines
· As open pit mining of a mineral deposit deepens, the cost of extraction may increase up to a threshold where transitioning to mining through underground methods is more profitable. This paper provides an approach to determine an optimal depth at which a mine should transition from open pit to underground mining, based on managing technical risk. The …
SRK carried out a scoping study on an existing open pit operation (12 Mtpa) that is soon to be reaching a depth where the mine will need to transition to a large-scale underground mining method. The goal was to provide production continuity at a rate that will still be suitable to maximise use of the existing surface processing facilities.

Underground Only Figure 2: (Transition Zone) The transition zone is an area where it is economically viable to extract material via open pit or underground mining methods. We see the open pit, black, encroaching on the underground mine, gray, in the transition zone.
Differences between open pit and underground mining. -Higher productivity. – Greater concentration of operations and easier management of human and material resources. – High mechanization, there are no limitations for the size of …
The transition from open pit (OP) to underground (UG) operation is one of the challenging mining engineering issues. Mines that have the potential to transition from OP mining to UG mining will eventually come to a ''transition point'' where the decision needs to be taken whether to extend the pit or switch to UG mining.

· An open-pit and underground mine in Kimberley, South Africa, and claimed to be the largest hole excavated by hand. It was open in 1871 and closed in 1914. its 43-year lifetime, the 50,000 workers who used picks and shovels shifted 22.5 million tonnes of earth, yielding almost 3 tonnes of diamonds.
Underground Mining Underground Mining is generally used for areas where the mineral seam is too far underground for open cut mining to be of use. A tunnel, called a decline, is created to allow workers and machinery to reach the location of the minerals. Stope ...

· RENO – Assay results from the first phase of drilling at i-80 Gold Corp.''s Granite Creek property for geotechnical and metallurgical purposes focused on planned open pit mining
· The company said five open pits will be mined over the next ten years from 2022 using conventional drill and blast, load and haul mining methods with electrical and diesel excavators. The underground mine will utilise open stope mining followed by cemented paste backfill, with ore hauling by skip shaft.
· Open pit mining method is one of the surface mining methods that has a traditional cone-shaped excavation and is usually employed to exploit a near-surface, nonselective and low-grade zones deposits. It often results in high productivity and requires large capital investments, low operating costs, and good safety conditions. The main topics that will be discussed in this …
open pit and underground mining transition problems. The model determines an optimized mining strategy for a deposit that is potentially amenable by both open pit and underground mining options. A synthetic copper deposit and a small gold deposit is used as ...
· The combined surface and underground mining method is typically used in an open-pit mine for better production and profits. However, the improved scale of mining operations at the combined mining conditions results in even more intensive strata movement and massive ground damages. This paper assesses the progressive development of the …
Open pit mining started in mid 1995 and over 20 pits were mined until open pit mining ceased in 2008. There are three separate operational underground mines: Barton, Invicta and Gateway (Figure 1). Underground development of the Barton mine
Guidelines for Open Pit Slope Design is a comprehensive account of the open pit slope design process. Created as an outcome of the Large Open Pit (LOP) project, an international research and technology transfer project on rock slope stability in open pit mines, this book provides an up-to-date compendium of knowledge of the slope design processes that should be followed …
Currently, most mine operators schedule the open pit and underground operations independently and then merge the two, creating a myopic solution. We present a methodology to maximize the NPV for an entire metal deposit by determining the spatial expanse and production quantities of both the open pit and underground mines while adhering to operational …
Open pit mines are those mining operations that take place on the surface, unlike the underground mines. This is possible when the reservoir sprouts on the surface or at a very small depth. It began to be realized in the middle of the XVI century and it is used all over the world.

2. The mining options problem A strategic plan is to be developed for a moderate dipping goldsilver-copper orebody- that is amenable to both open pit and underground mining. It is required that in addition to these mining options, a combined case of concurrent
Open pit or underground methods separately are not practicable for the extraction of this kind of deposits; therefore, a combined mining of open pit with one of underground methods is used.

The ore in the Svappavaara field''s active open-pit mine, Leveäniemi, is extracted by mining the ore in descending levels. The thickness of the slabs, known as the bench height, is 15 metres, and the slabs are worked downwards. In the first stage, the ore is extracted at one level before moving down a step (15 metres), after which the ore is ...

It differs from other types of mining processes that may require the digging of underground tunnels a long distance from the surface in order to reach the material. One of the advantages of the open-pit mining system is the fact that it is not as capital or labor intensive as the underground method of mineral or precious metal and stone extraction.

The initial open pit mining operation at Great Western will be underpinned by a maiden Open Pit Ore Reserve of 437,500 tonnes grading 2.5g/t Au for 35,424oz of contained gold. The open pit is expected to be completed over ~13 months, with potential to then access the underground orebody via a portal at the base of the pit.
