“…A more comprehensive approach to integrate long-term plans with FMIPCC conveyor locations was proposed by Samavati et al (2020). Their research proposes a mathematical model that simultaneously generates long-term mine planning with optimum crusher and conveyor locations for IPCC with an objective to maximise net profit over the life of mine.…”

“…The objective of this study is to maximise the NPV of an open pit mine, considering SMIPCC, TS capital and operating cost, and find the optimum locations and relocation time of crushers constrained by mining and processing capacity, blending requirements, etc. Unlike Samavati et al (2020), this model does not consider the location and relocation of the conveyors. The case study in a copper mine shows that while the capital is $74M higher for SMIPCC than the traditional TS system, it generates 70% higher NPV over the mine life.…”

In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) has gained momentum in recent years to replace trucks partially or fully in large open pit mines because of the shovel-truck system's increasing fuel and labour costs and conveyor systems' low operating costs and less greenhouse gas emissions. This article reviews the most recent literature since 2010 on short-term planning, based on different formulation and solution approaches, and IPCC, based on primary objectives such as optimum crusher location, economic/environmental comparison etc., to find the research gaps and future research opportunities in short-term planning with IPCC. The review reveals that hardly any short-term planning model can generate mine extraction sequences with IPCC integration. Therefore, a short-term planning methodology considering the IPCC system would be a pioneering step in the mine planning literature. Hence, the authors propose a theoretical short-term planning framework with IPCC as a future research direction.

In-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) systems have drawn attention to the modern mining industry due to the numerous benefits than conventional truck-and-shovel systems. However, the implementation of the IPCC system can reduce mining flexibility and introduce additional mining sequence requirements. This paper investigates the long-term production scheduling and the crusher relocation plan of open-pit mines using a semi-mobile IPCC system and high-angle conveyor. A series of candidate high-angle conveyor locations is generated around the pit limit, with a crusher located along each conveyor line. Each conveyor location is solved independently by an integer linear programming model for making production scheduling and crushing station decisions, aiming to maximize the net present value (NPV) considering the material handling and crushing station relocation costs. The production schedule with the highest NPV and the associated conveyor and crusher location is considered the optimum or near-optimum solution.

“…While there are considerable studies in the field of operational research in open-pit mining [13,14,16,17], the literature for the problem of blending optimisation in mining supply chains is narrow. These existing studies mainly focus on maximisation of net present value for a single open-pit mine instead of considering the blending targets in an entire supply chain.…”
