Strategic Open Pit Mine Introduction Optimization

The open pit mine optimization problem is con-cerned with the scheduling of mining activities over the life of an open pit mining project. Two variants of the problem commonly solved are (i) the ultimate pit limit problem and (ii) the open pit phase design problem. A closely related problem is the open pit production scheduling problem.
