Description: Presented by Roussos Dimitrakopoulos, Professor, McGill University, Montreal, Canada - At a time of technological disruption for the mining industry, this webinar presents a new generation of applied digital technologies that take mine planning and production scheduling optimization, and asset valuation to a new level: The simultaneous optimization of mining complexes - mineral value chains with uncertainty. A mining complex is an integrated business starting from the extraction of materials to a set of sellable products delivered to various customers and/or spot market and it is optimized holistically in the presence of uncertainty in material supply (material types and grades) and demand uncertainty (markets) as part of strategic risk management, as well as dealing with new sensor information in optimizing short-term production scheduling and operational uncertainties. Major conceptual changes in both strategic mine planning and short-term production scheduling are outlined to inform the webinar participants of a major step change in the field.
