1. Geostatistical simulations with heterotopic hard and soft data without modeling the linear model of coregionalization
Abstract Most mining decisions are based on models estimated/simulated given the information obtained from samples. During the exploration stage, samples are commonly taken using diamond drill holes which are accurate and precise. These samples are considered hard data. In the production stage, new samples are added. These last are cheaper and more abundant

2. Comparison between traditional project appraisal methods and uncertainty analysis applied to mining planning
Abstract Long-term mining planning is a complex process which involves a large number of variables and uncertainties. Traditional discount cash flow (DCF) is usually used in the evaluation of mining projects. DCF includes net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and profitability index (PI). A sensitivity analysis is usually carried out to eva

3. Increased power efficiency in mining by using high-fidelity haul truck simulation
Abstract The current economic and political scenario in Brazil has allowed small, medium and large companies to adopt cost cutdown and productivity increase strategies. Diesel fuel consumption by off-highway haul trucks stands for one of the largest costs at the Sossego Mine operational management department. Based on this fact, as well as on the 8% increase

4. Developing a stepwise approach to simulate a hammer mill through the Whiten model - the adherence for a gold ore
Abstract Comminution represents a large portion of the capital and operating cost of a mineral processing plant. In 1983, Cohen estimated that comminution processes could account for 30% to 50% of the power consumption of the mill, and typically represents 50% of the operating costs of a mine. Therefore, its optimization is directly related to reduction of t

5. Grade uncertainty embedded in long term scheduling: stochastic mine planning
Abstract The inclusion of grade uncertainty for multivariate mineral deposits is of great importance for the correct management of subsequent decisions involved in mining planning. Mapping grade uncertainties allows maximization of profit and resource extraction. In this article, the co-simulation turning band algorithm is applied with the aim of predicting

6. Scenario reduction using machine learning techniques applied to conditional geostatistical simulation
Abstract One of the basic factors in mine operational optimization is knowledge regarding mineral deposit features, which allows to predict its behavior. This could be achieved by conditional geostatistical simulation, which allows to evaluate deposit variability (uncertainty band) and its impacts on project economics. However, a large number of realizations

7. Comparing blast-induced ground vibration models using ANN and empirical geomechanical relationships
Abstract Blasting remains as an economical and reliable excavation technique, but there are some environmental shortcomings such as the control of blast-induced vibration. The impacts of vibration over surrounding communities in a blast area have been investigated for decades and researchers have been using a myriad of empirical predictive attenuation equati

8. Exploring the natural chemiome to target interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) cytokines: an atomic scale investigation for novel rheumatoid arthritis drug discovery
ABSTRACT Natural compounds are a gold mine for treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The etiology of this disease is linked to inflammation, where cytokines play an important role. Strategies have been drafted for targeting cytokines as a therapeutic option in patients with RA. Inhibiting cytokines with natural compounds has become a major focus for the develo

9. Incorporation of geological uncertainty in pit optimization with geostatistics simulation
Abstract Risk mapping processes in mine planning and ore recovery are constantly used in the mining industry to increase decision making certainty based on the available information. However, it is not possible to predict the risk behavior in all of the project's boundary conditions and small variations in some of these conditions can cause a great impact on

10. Using multiple random walk simulation in short-term grade models
Abstract Geostatistical simulation comprises a variety of techniques which can help on the decision-making process for uncertainties. They allow the uncertainty assessment of function responses (which depend on the simulated inputs) commonly through a non-linear relationship (net present value, interest tax return, geometallurgical ore recovery...). However,

11. A high-level dynamic analysis approach for studying global process plant availability and production time in the early stages of mining projects
Abstract In the early stage of front-end studies of a Mining Project, the global availability (i.e. number of hours a plant is available for production) and production (number of hours a plant is actually operated with material) time of the process plant are normally assumed based on the experience of the study team. Understanding and defining the availabili

12. Modelling and Simulation of the Santa Rita Mine Milling Circuit
Abstract The Santa Rita Mine, located in the State of Bahia, was the first Mirabela Mineração operation in Brazil. Started in 2009, the nickel sulphide processing plant has undergone constant modifications, aiming to adapt to the changes in the ore. Main modifications included autogenous grinding converted to semi-autogenous, as well as the installation of
