In open pit mining operation blocks of earth are dug from surface in
order to extract the ore. During mining, land is excavated forming
pits which increase gradually until mining process if over. The final
shape of this pit is determined during planning stage itself. In order
to optimize the ultimate pit to maximize profit whole area is divided
into 3 dimensional blocks of equal size, the drill hole information
regarding the assay value, grade of ore, etc. is ascertained by
various geo-statistical method applied on borehole informations and
ore in each block is estimated. The mining cost, processing cost, and
other miscellaneous costs are taken into account while deciding the
block economic parameter and hence the block economic value. The
optimal pit is designed to maximize the total profit while adhering to
safe working conditions like safe slope angles, and other constraints
like a block can be mined only when blocks on top of it are mined. In
general 45 slope angle is maintained which can be depicted in 3D
view as represented in Figure 2.
