| Syllabus: | This unit deals with the cascading planning horizons that govern mining operations. It first presents key concepts for strategic mine planning in surface and underground mining operations, emphasising the need to consider mine closure, mine waste dump design and siting, and water management (including AMD risks), as part of long-term planning. The unit then focuses on the application of algorithms and mining software to establish the extent and sequence of production in mining operations. Students will be exposed to the development and implementation of mathematical models for mine planning and will solve mining operations-related problems using authentic data sets. The importance of applying a ‘whole-of-system lens’ to mine planning will be emphasised. Students will also visualise strategic and operational mine plans through the utilisation of advanced technologies. Students will also be required to participate in 2 days of fieldwork activities. |
