Item Optimum mine production rate based on price uncertainty.(2019) Souza, Felipe Ribeiro; Câmara, Taís Renata; Torres, Vidal Félix Navarro; Nader, Beck; Galery, RobertoThe production rate of a mining operation has an important effect on the opera- tional cycle and gross profit, which are often evaluated based on engineering practices. Assessment of the economic performance of mine operations in mining engineering is of great importance because an incorrect production rate can result in significant financial losses. The production rate is composed of two bases: the cost estimation and the price scenario. Bureau of Mines studies performed on American mines indicated that processing costs can be estimated through the production rate. This article pro- poses to connect the model presented by the Bureau of Mines and queuing theory to describe the operational costs, which are used to develop a production optimization methodology. The proposed cost composition describes a production system to verify the law of diminishing returns and the economy of scale. Between these regions of the production curve, the optimum point was determined with mathematical precision.Item Direct block scheduling under marketing uncertainties.(2018) Burgarelli, Hudson Rodrigues; Souza, Felipe Ribeiro; Nader, Alizeibek Saleimen; Torres, Vidal Félix Navarro; Câmara, Taís Renata; Arroyo Ortiz, Carlos Enrique; Galery, RobertoMineral projects are composed of geological, operational and market uncertainties, and reducing these uncertainties is one of the objectives of engineering. Most surveys assess the impact of geological and operational uncertainties on the mining planning. The objective of this work is to study the impact of market uncertainty on the mineral activity. The influence of iron ore price simulation on mining sequencing will be evaluated. The price of iron ore has random behavior that is best represented by the Geometric Brownian Movement system. This study analyzed the historical series of iron ore in order to determine the percentage volatility and drift. Traditionally, a constant and deterministic price is used for the ore mined in all periods of a mineral project. The direct block scheduling methodology was adopted because it is able to apply the appropriate financial discount factor to the simulated probabilistic price. The proposed methodology was able to quantify the market uncertainty.
