Case Study
- A Iron ore deposit
- Slope angle is 45 degree
- 100 simulated ore body models
- Price simulation was done using SGS algorithm

Conclusions
- Production scheduling was performed by
incorporating price uncertainty incorporating price uncertainty
- The algorithm is computationally fast, so can
handle large orebody model
- No ultimate pit and pushback generation is
- u t
ate p t a d pus bac ge e at o s required in this algorithm
- 5% more NPV can be generated as compared to
