Open Pit Mine Planning and Design, Second Edition (Two Volume Set + CD)

SKU:  

Availability:   Usually ships in 1 business days
 

Building on the success of its predecessor, this second edition of Open Pit Mine Planning and Design was updated and extended into a complete and authoritative account of modern open pit mining. New chapters on reporting mineral resources and ore reserves as well as on responsible mining offer better guidance in asset definition and reinforce the relationship between mining and sustainable development. Additionally, the CSMine software was completely re-written in Windows™ format, seven new drillhole data sets were included, and review questions and exercises were added throughout the book. Volume 1 deals with the fundamental concepts involved in planning and designing open pit mines. It covers mine planning, mining economics, orebody description, geometrical considerations, pit limits, production planning, mineral resources and ore reserves, and responsible mining. Volume 2 introduces CSMine, a user-friendly mine planning and design software-supplied on the CD-ROM-developed specifically to illustrate the practical application of the principles discussed in the first volume. It also comprises the CSMine tutorial, the CSMine user's manual, and eight orebody case examples, including drillhole data sets for performing a complete open pit mine evaluation. The large number of illustrative examples and case studies, the review questions and exercises, and the reference lists included at the end of each chapter provide all the material needed to effectively learn the theory and application of open pit mine planning and design.

4A very useful book   Jul 31, 2008
That what I was looking for for years. It is a very comprehensive introduction to mine planning and organization which gives basics about important tasks as geostatistical analysis applied to orebody characterization, block modeling, pit planning and organization, costs analysis and economical management. I found really useful in particular the enclosed user-friendly software which allows to practice with book contents in a practical environment and is completed by the rich database full of data from real situations. A really useful tool for practicing before coping with more complex (and expensive) mining software programmes.

5A must have  Jul 05, 2006
This review of the first edition is a must have for anyone who is related with open pit mine planning. It is also a great book for mining engineering students. The concepts are clearly presented, and very well organized. The complete process of mine planning from the early stages to the production scheduling is described.
