Download or read book Economic Assessment and Mine Production Optimization of an Open pit Gold Mine Operation in Peru Based on the Iterative Cutoff Grade Analysis Approach written by Bruno Muncher Ricketts and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surface mining operations involve high levels of complexity and uncertainty that last for many years and require huge capital investment and risk. Each open-pit mine is unique, based on the physical characteristics of the ore deposit and on the operational parameters of the extraction method; therefore, the most profitable way to exploit a mineral deposit requires considerable evaluation and planning. However, all operations share the same priorities, the maximization of the return on the investment and the maximization of the recovery of the resource. Both are linked to the optimization of profits, which in mineral operations is done by optimizing the ore cutoff grade, considering the block model geometry. The Coriorcco Gold Project refers to an open-pit mining operation at pre-feasibility stage located at about 4100 meters above sea level in the Peruvian Andes. This mining project is currently owned by the company Management Environmental Solutions (MESSA) and is intended to begin operations before the year 2019. To have a better understanding of the project, a general description and a technical overview of the main parameters related to the development will be addressed, including, but not limited to: the open-pit design, production rate, tailing facility construction, haul road construction, blasting design, and material handling equipment selection. The present study is intended to develop the economic assessment and mine production optimization of the Coriorcco Gold Project, based on the iterative cutoff grade analysis approach. This approach represents a win-win situation for all major players in the mining industry. The company benefits from better economic results due to a 40.79% higher Net Present Value (NPV) and 24.5 % higher Internal Rate of Return (IRR). The government and nearby communities benefit from a smaller environmental and social impact, as an optimized cutoff grade reduces the mine life from 23.25 to 15.73 years, and therefore, the presence of the company in the region. Furthermore, the economic viability of the project will be thoroughly analyzed in distinct operational and economic scenarios. Three different sensitivity analysis regarding alternative values of processing capacities, gold prices and dilution rates will be evaluated. Finally, results will be analyzed and discussed, revealing the advantages and disadvantages of the optimization method, as well as the economic impact that a change in these variables could cause.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Document from the year 2018 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: 1.5, , language: English, abstract: This book provides insight for practitioners to prepare configurations for those surface mining business impacting attributes in a meaningful representation. The contribution of this book lies in giving a direction to those think tanks of mining industry dealing with attributes impacting business they are working in. Based on their survey within their company, attributes can be explored and coded either on colour codes or any other method as they find suitable. The academics can help practitioners find out different latent attributes impacting business in surface mines which can be integrated in a holistic approach for the people working in this particular challenging environment. The book is an attempt to explore and interpret attributes influencing business of Indian surface mining industry in a managerial technique popular in other fields. The study further introduces a colour coding system resulting in prioritizing business influencing attributes of Indian surface mines in a meaningful way. Implementation or use of this approach can transform operational strategies of mining operators in enriching mining productivity issues. The book shows priorities can be fixed on different attributes influencing business of this basic industry struggling with range of issues. The technique of attending those niggling issues in a colour coding system will show a new direction to operational strategy in tackling business issues. Attribute prioritizing and subsequent clustering will lead to eradication of confusion in attending any attribute. High impacting attribute will get preference in addressing than lower ones. Moreover, a clear cut approach in tackling issues will have instructive signals on industry’s implementing level of management people. At last, we recommend implementation of this strategy at various struggling industries other than surface mining. Efforts on higher impacting attributes will get due attention, tagging a colour coding system.

This book was released on 2020-11-05 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book broadly explains the requirement to focus on core components in a business and provides a case study of open-pit mining operations throughout the book to understand the management perspective of large organizations. With globalized approaches of large businesses and the rising requirement of understanding the needs of modern organizations, it is necessary to focus on key areas of businesses to ensure sustainability of operations. Organizations look into achieving a high return on investments and short-term measures in increasing sales or revenue is considered unsuitable. It is a necessity to look for sustainability and continuous methods of innovation to boost efficiency. This book provides a case study based on large organizations and uses qualitative methodologies where data was collected using in-depth interviews of respondents from various mining companies in the top and middle-level management from different parts of the world, detailing the state of the art of information systems currently used in large scale open-pit miming (LSOPM). This book provides a sound knowledge of cutting-edge factors to the reader for managing the business to attain operational excellence and long-term sustainability, and caters to a broad spectrum of management and technical readers.

Download or read book Coal written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2007-12-21 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coal will continue to provide a major portion of energy requirements in the United States for at least the next several decades. It is imperative that accurate information describing the amount, location, and quality of the coal resources and reserves be available to fulfill energy needs. It is also important that the United States extract its coal resources efficiently, safely, and in an environmentally responsible manner. A renewed focus on federal support for coal-related research, coordinated across agencies and with the active participation of the states and industrial sector, is a critical element for each of these requirements. Coal focuses on the research and development needs and priorities in the areas of coal resource and reserve assessments, coal mining and processing, transportation of coal and coal products, and coal utilization.
