Method for optimizing the shell of open pit mines based on parallel computing

Abstract

One of the main stages in design of mineral development process is solution of finding optimal open pit problem. It is necessary to take into account the spatial distribution of mineral components and the allowable slope angles of the sides during solving this problem. The basis for performing calculations to optimize the extraction of reserves is a digital block model of the mineral deposit. The larger and more accurate block model of the ore deposit requires more computationally complex calculation process. In this regard, using of parallel computing in this area is very relevant. The importance of solving this problem determined by the need to have an accurate model of the open pit at various stages of its development
