1. Multi-stage dumping sequence - a feasible waste management alternative for open pit mining
Abstract Waste management and environmental aspects are progressively gathering attention in the mining industry. Mine planners must deal with increasingly complex tasks to balance between ore block schedules, waste disposal, operational cost and environmental reclamation. The mine incomes are generally related to mining and processing of the ore, thus most

2. Analysis of the impacts of slope angle variation on slope stability and NPV via two different final pit definition techniques
Abstract The traditionally and widely used Lerchs-Grossmann algorithm presents well-known limitations that newer propositions attempt to overcome. The direct block schedule (DBS) methodology, which has gained relevance with computational advances, obtains the final pit as a natural result of production sequencing, different from Lerchs-Grossmann-based algori

3. A decision-making method to assess the benefits of a semi-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying alternative during the early stages of a mining project
Abstract A significant cost in the operating budget of most mining operations arises from purchasing and maintaining haulage trucks. Recently, in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) has been subject to research because of its potential to reduce haulage costs. The objective of this study is to identify early on in a project, by means of a decision-making metho

4. Avaliação química, ecotoxicológica e genotoxicológica de águas de cavas de mineração a céu aberto
RESUMO Lagos artificiais formados em áreas de mineração a céu aberto são unidades complexas e se constituem em passivos ambientais emergentes advindos da indústria da mineração. Embora estejam aumentando em número em várias partes do globo, são um problema ambiental recente e ainda pouco estudado, especialmente no tocante à qualidade e à toxicid

5. Using UAV for automatic lithological classification of open pit mining front
Abstract Mine planning is dependent on the natural lithologic features and on the definition of their limits. The geological model is constantly updated during the life of the mine, based on all the information collected so far, plus the knowledge developed from the exploration stage up to the mine closure. As the mine progresses, the amount of available dat

6. The impact of payload truck factor use in mine performance reports for an open pit copper mine in Brazil
Abstract This article aims to evaluate the use of a truck factor for off-highway trucks in open pit mine operations, thus reducing error on material movement and mine production data entry. This method is current for a copper mine located in South East Pará, Brazil. With a dispatch system, the truck factor is calculated using three data inputs called measur

7. Topographic modelling using UAVs compared with traditional survey methods in mining
Abstract The current developments with unmanned aerial vehicles (‘UAVs’) are revolutionizing many fields in civil applications, such as agriculture, environmental and visual inspections. The mining industry can also benefit from UAVs in many aspects, and the reconciliation through topographic control is an example. In comparison with traditional topograp

8. The use of RPAS - Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems in the topographic mapping for mining
Abstract In the light of the technological transformations that have been occurring in the field of Remote Sensing, the objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and the quality of the results that could be achieved in the topographic modeling of the terrain with a Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) survey in open-pit mines. The mining ac

9. Contamination and Soil Biological Properties in the Serra Pelada Mine - Amazonia, Brazil
ABSTRACT Discovered in 1980 and unleashed an utter gold rush of the modern era, Serra Pelada was the largest open-air mine in Brazil. About 80,000 gold prospectors worked there until 1984, when the gold pits were flooded. The environmental impact caused by mining inflicted irreversible damage to the ecosystem, with the formation of a large lake and piles of

10. Quantifying dilution caused by execution efficiency
Abstract In open pit mining, dilution is not always a factor systematically analyzed and calculated. Often it is only an adjusted number, for example, calculated or even empirically determined for a certain operational condition perpetuating along time in the form of a constant applied to calculating reserves or mine planning in attendance of audit requireme

11. Mine surveying works for the purpose of excavating the remaining reserves of bauxite in the deposit of "Podbracan"
Mining projects for mineral resource mining contain in certain cases specific technical and technological solutions, these being the result of the mine’s characteristic spatial position and the geometry of the ore deposit, existing mining works, structures, and terrain relief etc. For the purpose of completion of the mining project, it is necessary to carr

12. Evidences of the influence of the detonation sequence in rock fragmentation by blasting – Part I
Drilling and blasting are fundamental operations in the mining cycle and consti tute an important component of the mining costs. Rock fragmentation can in principle be managed by means of two options: by increasing or reducing the specific consumption of explosives, or by modifying the drilling pattern. The choice of one or other type of control depends on t
