This publication presents the latest advances, technologies, practices and
concerns in strategic mine planning and orebody modelling, thus updating the
developments and applications reported in the remarkably successful 2005
Spectrum Series 14 and its second edition in 2007.
In an ever-changing world of uncertain markets, mismatches between demand and
reserve base growth, new emerging technologies, and new technical problems and
their solutions, this book represents a contribution to both old and new
dimensions of a most intricate, complex, challenging and critically important
technical part of mining ventures and the industry. These and other issues add
complexity and uncertainty to the already challenging domains of orebody
modelling and strategic mine planning, which are arguably the backbone of our
industry.
This volume comprises 43 papers under the following
topics: Modelling and Planning in the New World; Modelling Orebodies and
Applications; Mining Optimisation and Case Studies; Large-Scale Integrated
Applications; Uncertainty Models and Recoverable Reserves; Optimisation is
Moving Underground and The New World and Strategic Innovation.
