Calculating ultimate pit limits and determining pushbacks in open-pit

A critical component to any feasibility study of an open-pit mining project is determining the ultimate pit limits and the optimal mining phases (pushbacks). Today, block models are the most commonly used technique for calculating mineral resources and reserves (Krzemień et al., 2016; Riesgo García et al., 2019; Sterba et al., 2020).

Open Pit Mining: A Comprehensive Overview

Open pit mining can be defined as the process of excavating any metallic or non-metallic mineral deposit near the surface by digging or cutting at the surface, using one or more horizontal benches to extract the mineral. While the ore is being extracted, overburden and tailings are dumped at a special disposal site outside the excavation ...
