Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: Meeting production targets in terms of ore quantity and quality is critical for a successful mining operation. In-situ grade uncertainty causes both deviations from production targets and general financial deficits. A new stochastic optimization algorithm based on ant colony optimization (ACO) approach is developed herein to integrate geological uncertainty described through a series of the simulated ore bodies. Two different strategies re developed based on a single predefined probability value ( P r o b ) and multiple probability values ( P r o b n t ) , respectively in order to improve the initial solutions that created by deterministic ACO procedure. Application at the Sungun copper mine in the northst of Iran demonstrate the abilities of the stochastic approach to create a single schedule and control the risk of deviating from production targets over time and also increase the project value. A comparison beten two strategies and traditional approach illustrates that the multiple probability strategy is able to produce better schedules, hover, the single predefined probability is more practical in projects requiring of high flexibility degree. A new stochastic optimization algorithm based on ACO is proposed to open pit mine production planning.Geological uncertainty is considered.Two different strategies named SRB-ACO and MRB-ACO re developed.The approach was applied at the Sungun copper mine in the northst of Iran.Results demonstrate the abilities of approach to create a single schedule which diminishes the overall project risk and also increase the project value.
