Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic mine planning is the process of determining the configuration that will optimise project objectives. These objectives may be value-based, risk-based or based on some other goal, depending on the company and the situation. Current methods for ensuring that objectives are optimised, for a given project configuration, contain a number of limitations. In particular, the strategic mine planning process for a given configuration is often completed by the sequential optimisation of key decisions. This approach does not allow for relationships between decisions to be measured accurately. As such, sub-optimal mine plans are often produced. The ability to model and optimise key decisions simultaneously (for both open pit and underground projects), in attempting to achieve greater value, is investigated in this thesis. The optimisation models created through this research employ mixed integer programming (MIP). The most appealing property of MIP is the guarantee of finding the optimal solution to the optimisation model, subject to computer hardware constraints. Hence, solutions are able to be compared consistently. Some of the areas where advances are made include time cost modelling, cut-off grade and stockpile optimisation for open pit operations, and schedule and cut-off optimisation for underground operations. This thesis describes methods to enable the efficient determination of optimal mine plans for a given project configuration. Case studies show that the methods developed can lead to meaningful increases in value and reductions in risk.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mining complexes are mineral value chains where extracted material from different mines is transformed into sellable products through a set of processing streams. This value chain is governed by uncertainties at different levels, from the geological attributes of the orebody at the mine(s), to the different operational and processing components that lead the sellable products to the market. Stochastic simultaneous optimization formulations for industrial mining complexes have proven to be effective in generating reliable strategic plans that maximize net present value and, at the same time, manage and reduce risk. However, because of the uncertainties governing a mining complex, particularly the ones related to the geological attributes which define the supply of the system, it has become a priority to integrate flexibility mechanisms that allow a mining project to change and adapt as more information becomes available. Within this adaptability, optimizing the investment timing of high-magnitude capital expenditures throughout the life-of-mine is a priority, due to their high impact on the annual cash-flows and on their effects over the physical mining schedule. Additionally, to improve a mining complex's ability to meet production targets and overall performance, advanced mechanisms should be developed to ensure complex blending constraints are met, managing the geometallurgical variables of the deposit.This thesis presents a methodology to embed flexibility into mineral value chains, by allowing the strategic mine plan of a mining complex to dynamically consider possible options and alternatives for reacting and adapting to future changes. For this, first, a study on extraction capacity optimization is presented, followed by the development of a mechanism to deal with complex variables of the deposit to meet blending constraints and production targets. These two components are later integrated into a dynamic optimization model, which optimizes the mining complex's mine plan under geological uncertainty, integrating flexible investment alternatives, as well as operational modes.The dynamic model developed produces a unique initial extraction sequence, while keeping a viable flexible long-term plan for future investment decisions, as may be needed. The flexible long-term plan is obtained through a dynamic optimization which allows making transitioning plans upfront to facilitate change. This method introduces a new adapted multistage stochastic programming model which expands upon the two-stage framework by performing multiple recourse stages that are solved iteratively, allowing parallel designs to be generated in a scenario-tree structure. In this model, dynamic decisions over capital expenditures are made sequentially over time, based on information that becomes available over production time. The above model is subsequently extended to include alternatives over operating modes at different levels of the mineral value chain. More specifically, optimal operating modes are chosen per period, selecting blasting patterns at the mine, and processing relations of throughput and recovery at the plant. The practical implications of the proposed method are demonstrated through an application over a copper-gold mining complex, where the dynamic model presents a 10.5% increase in net present value compared to a traditional two-stage stochastic formulation.The dynamic mining complex formulation proposed is able to include flexibility into the optimization of the strategic plan of a mineral value chain. This enables possible developments within the feasible set of alternatives that can be taken, considering the mining complex's configuration, capacities, and constraints. The proposed model is able to generate feasible, operational schedules, while providing a wider view of the mining complex's performance, easing the transition to possible changes due to the periodic unveiling of uncertainty." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a holistic approach of integrated mine planning and scheduling to optimize mining projects using the discounted cash flow rate of return (DCF-ROR) method. There are nine chapters in the book. Chapter 1 is the Introduction, which provides overviews of mineral assets, minerals in Australia, mineral exploration, mining methods, and significance of valuation, optimization, and integrated mine planning. Chapter 2 is the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Estimation, including grade composition method, inverse distance weighting method, ordinary Kriging method and block model. Chapter 3 is the Feasibility Study that delves into three phased feasibility study, namely scoping, prefeasibility and feasibility studies, data requirements, risk identification and mitigation in the feasibility study, and mining project cost estimation. Chapter 4 is the Valuation of Mineral Projects. It starts with the time value of money; followed by methods to calculate cash flow, discounted cash flow (DCF), net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR) and payback period; valuation methods, including market-, income-, and cost-based approaches; and finally the sensitivity study of key factors influencing the valuation of mining projects. Chapter 5 is the Mine Planning and Open Pit Optimization that covers different types of mine planning, block model valuation, Lerchs-Grossmann and floating cone techniques for pit optimization. Chapter 6 is the Life of Mine Optimization that details a case study of strip mining optimization using the DCF-ROR method and integrated LOM optimization of open pit mining. Chapter 7 is the Production Schedule Optimization of Surface Mining, covering production schedule optimization, equipment availability and utilization, and loading and hauling equipment match optimization. Chapter 8 is the Optimization of Underground Mine Planning and Scheduling that delves to a case study of room and pillar mining optimization using the DCF-ROR method and mathematical programs for underground stope layout and production schedule optimization. Chapter 9 is the Conclusion of the book. The book can benefit students and professionals in multiple ways. Firstly, divisions and confusions may arise from different contexts of technical frameworks, taxation, and relevant legislations in literature. Having quality contents in one book will improve the efficiency of study. Secondly, the inclusion of plentiful hands-on examples and calculation tables underscores the practical application of the concepts, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world scenarios. Thirdly, the book adopts an integrated approach to evaluate and optimize mineral projects, utilizing methodologies such as DCF-ROR for optimization, ordinary Kriging for ore reserve estimation, and multi-level optimization including strategic planning, pit optimization, life of mine optimization, and production schedule optimization. Finally, the content is fully aligned with internationally recognized standards such as the VALMIN and JORC codes, ensuring compliance with industry best practices and guidelines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mine planning and optimization affect efficiency, profitability and productivity of operations significantly. Low commodity prices, high resource degredation maintenance costs and high fixed infrastructure costs necessitate the use of optimal decision making tools for mining companies to make profit. All mines have different characteristics and planning phases. In this research, different optimization problems that suit various mining techniques and planning stages are studied. In essential, there are two types of mining: surface mining and underground mining. Surface mining operations are generally long-term because overburden must be removed to access the profitable orebody. This requires strategic long-term planning at the feasibility stage. The first publication in the scope of this research focuses on long-term surface mine planning with environmental considerations. The provided solution optimizes the problem using mixed integer linear programming (MILP). When operation starts and bench sectors are mined on a daily basis, the need for short term planning arises. The second publication addresses the dig-limit optimization problem, which is an important part of short-term planning. With the proposed MILP optimization method, the ore-waste boundaries are delineated with the equipment size constraints. Although underground mining also starts with exploration and resource estimation/simulation stages, the problems that need to be addressed are very different from surface mining techniques and it has its own unique challenges. Special focus is given to the sublevel stoping underground mining technique. Stope optimization is a complex problem, comprised of two sub-problems: stope layout optimization and stope sequencing. MILP formulations of stope layout optimization are impractical because of the large size of the problem. In the third and fourth manuscripts, two different heuristic stope layout optimization algorithms are presented where the former uses a clustering heuristic to identify stopes with high grade concentration and the latter uses a greedy heuristic based on dynamic programming to solve the sub-problems and explore the promising stope combinations. Fifth manuscript tailors the greedy heuristic algorithm to poly-metallic mines with pillars. Both heuristic approaches are shown to be near-optimal through comparing with developed novel MILP formulations case studies in smaller problem instances. When the stope layout is finalized, the sequence can be optimized to yield the optimal project value. In the sixth and final manuscript within the scope of this research, the stope sequencing problem is formulated in MILP. To account for risk emerging from geological uncertainties, chance constrained programming is implemented. This approach maximizes the expected net present value of the operation while minimizing the deviations from the expected value due to ore grade uncertainty. It focuses the search on a unique direction based on the specified desired project risk level." --

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oracle system performance inefficiencies often go undetected for months or even years--even under intense scrutiny--because traditional Oracle performance analysis methods and tools are fundamentally flawed. They're unreliable and inefficient. Oracle DBAs and developers are all too familiar with the outlay of time and resources, blown budgets, missed deadlines, and marginally effective performance fiddling that is commonplace with traditional methods of Oracle performance tuning. In this crucial book, Cary Millsap, former VP of Oracle's System Performance Group, clearly and concisely explains how to use Oracle's response time statistics to diagnose and repair performance problems. Cary also shows how "queueing theory" can be applied to response time statistics to predict the impact of upgrades and other system changes. Optimizing Oracle Performance eliminates the time-consuming, trial-and-error guesswork inherent in most conventional approaches to tuning. You can determine exactly where a system's performance problem is, and with equal importance, where it is not, in just a few minutes--even if the problem is several years old. Optimizing Oracle Performance cuts a path through the complexity of current tuning methods, and streamlines an approach that focuses on optimization techniques that any DBA can use quickly and successfully to make noticeable--even dramatic--improvements. For example, the one thing database users care most about is response time. Naturally, DBAs focus much of their time and effort towards improving response time. But it is entirely too easy to spend hundreds of hours to improve important system metrics such as hit ratios, average latencies, and wait times, only to find users are unable to perceive the difference. And an expensive hardware upgrade may not help either. It doesn't have to be that way. Technological advances have added impact, efficiency, measurability, predictive capacity, reliability, speed, and practicality to the science of Oracle performance optimization. Optimizing Oracle Performance shows you how to slash the frustration and expense associated with unraveling the true root cause of any type of performance problem, and reliably predict future performance. The price of this essential book will be paid back in hours saved the first time its methods are used.

Book excerpt: Optimization techniques have been widely adopted to implement various data mining algorithms. In addition to well-known Support Vector Machines (SVMs) (which are based on quadratic programming), different versions of Multiple Criteria Programming (MCP) have been extensively used in data separations. Since optimization based data mining methods differ from statistics, decision tree induction, and neural networks, their theoretical inspiration has attracted many researchers who are interested in algorithm development of data mining. Optimization based Data Mining: Theory and Applications, mainly focuses on MCP and SVM especially their recent theoretical progress and real-life applications in various fields. These include finance, web services, bio-informatics and petroleum engineering, which has triggered the interest of practitioners who look for new methods to improve the results of data mining for knowledge discovery. Most of the material in this book is directly from the research and application activities that the authors’ research group has conducted over the last ten years. Aimed at practitioners and graduates who have a fundamental knowledge in data mining, it demonstrates the basic concepts and foundations on how to use optimization techniques to deal with data mining problems.
