“…The second issue concerns the mine design problem, which can undergo a significant transformation when using these systems. For instance, the pit shell design and production planning in short-and long-term concepts may vary in the context of a mining project that is operated by IPCC systems instead of a Truck-Shovel system [4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Additionally, the potential combinations of the Truck-Shovel and IPCC systems and their effect on the mine design were thoroughly investigated.…”

Backgrounds: The transportation system within any mining project, which is responsible for delivering extracted ore to the crushing units or wastes to the wasting dumps as the destinations, poses a significant challenge in mining processes. On one hand, there are various transportation systems, notably the Truck–Shovel, the traditional method, and relatively newer and less common In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) systems. On the other hand, choosing the most suitable system for a specific mining project depends on various factors, with technical aspects being one of the most critical. While there is extensive research on the Truck–Shovel system from a technical perspective, there is relatively limited research on IPCC systems. Methods: This research aims to carry out a comparative analysis of different transportation systems, encompassing Truck–Shovel, Fixed In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (FIPCC), Semi-Fixed In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (SFIPCC), Semi-Mobile In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (SMIPCC), and Fully Mobile In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (FMIPCC) systems. To achieve this goal, a technical index is introduced, which is based on three elements: the availability and the utilization of the system, as well as the consumption of power. This index will be developed as a system dynamics model, enabling the observation of each system’s performance throughout the operational lifespan of the mine. Results: Ultimately, based on the proposed method, the most effective transportation system based on the defined technical index can be identified at any time of the project. In this research, the Truck–Shovel system generally selected as the most preferred transportation system, except for two different periods. Conclusions: This study could successfully perform the selection among different transportation systems. Nevertheless, it was modeled and performed in a deterministic environment, but still the stochastic nature of the processes can be another topic of research.

Maintaining short-term planning aligned with the ultimate long-term plan is challenging. This requires many details to be modelled on a daily or weekly basis to reach this target. Short-term planning is more challenging than medium- and long-term planning because it deals with uncertainties, which increases the gap between medium- and long-term plans. Short-term mine planning teams are expected to identify and manage potential risks to mitigate them, and eventually achieve the long-term objective of maximizing the Net Present Value (NPV). Very few studies have identified the problems that exist in short-term mine planning and provided technical solutions to overcome them for open-pit mines. One of the complexities associated with short-term planning is the creation of polygons or mining cuts by clustering before optimizing and scheduling the plan to reduce the computational expense of mine planning models. The primary objective of this study is to review the latest papers describing short-term mine planning challenges and technical solutions proposed to optimize mine planning for open-pit mines.
