Push Back Design in Two-element Deposits Incorporating …

Push back design as a complex task, is one of the major steps in the open pit mines planning. Push backs can be generated by varying economic factors such as commodity price, mining cost, processing cost, etc. Another important issue in generating push backs is grade uncertainty, which can cause the problem be more complex. Conventional …

What are pushbacks and why do we really need them in open pit …

Pushbacks play a very crucial role in open pit mine design and optimisation. Production scheduling is based on the underlying set of pushbacks, so the manner and approach in which pushbacks are selected, designed, and scheduled have a remarkable impact mainly on the mine's profitability. I am going to demonstrate the importance of …

ABSTRACT: In open pit mine design, scheduling is normally based on underlying push backs (i.e. incre- mental pits). Many different push back design algorithms have been developed in mining industry since 1960. The majority of push back design algorithms use an economic parameter (i.e. metal price) to find series of pits
