mining operation, and is the key to the financial aspects of mining ventures. A starting point for optimization in the above context is the representation of a mineral deposit in three-dimensional space through an orebody model and the mining blocks representing it; this is used to optimize designs and production schedules (e.g. [1]).

Optimizing the short-term production schedules independently at each mine fails to capture the benefit of generating schedules for all the mines collaboratively resulting in sub-optimal schedules. In short-term production scheduling, there are fewer blocks and thus fewer binary decision variables as compared to the long-term …
