For The Pushback Aproach To Open Pit Schedulling

The pushback approach to open pit scheduling involves 5 steps: 1) Select potential intermediate pushback shells from nested pit shells based on practical mining constraints. 2) Schedule the selected intermediate shells to verify if production targets can be met with reasonable equipment requirements. 3) Select the final pit shell that generates positive cash flow. 4) Design access ramps and benches for each pushback from the start of operations. 5) Schedule the life of mine following each pushback to maintain access and optimize equipment utilization.

For the pushback aproach to open pit schedulling, the following steps are adopted:

optimize the pit.


1. Select a pit shell as potential intermediate pushback. These are selected
from the nested shells taking into consideration the practical mining
constraint such as minimum bench working width. It is worth noting that
the nested shells are produced as a result of a lower revenue factor so can
be considered as small higher-grade or lower strip ratio open pits. If they
are followed as production stages, they will provide higher grade to the
mill and/ or lower strip ratio.
2. Schedule the cosen intermediate shells or pushback to verify if production
targets can be met with sensible equipment requirements. This is an
iterative process that typically involves 3-4 iterations
3. Select the final pit shell as being the last pushback that generates positive
cash flow from the nested optimize shells. The final pit may be slightly
smaller than in the standard approach.
4. Design tahe acces ramp and benches pushback by pushback from the start
of the operation. Every pushback will have a different ramp design. It
should also be noted the shallow starter pits can sustain steeper slope
angles and this can further reduce waste rock stripping in the early years of
a project
5. Schedule the life of mine following each pushback, making sure that the
schedule is practical and ramp accesses are maintained to provide
sufficient working places. Equipment utilization is kepth high by
allocating equipment that has exposed enough ore for a given period to
commence stripping for the next pushback. Pushback or intermediate pits
can help in better capital phasing for mining equipment purchase,
consistent ore feed to the mill, and improved utilization of the mining
fleet, and secure healthy cash flow in the early periods of project life

Menurut Sabanov, 2015. Untuk pendekatan pushback dalam penjadwalan

open pit, berikut ini langkah-langkah yang diadopsi: mengoptimalkan pit.

1) Pilih pit shell potensi menengah sebagai pushback. Ini dipilih dari nested

shells dengan mempertimbangkan faktor penambangan seperti lebar bangku

kerja minimum. Perlu dicatat bahwa nested shells diproduksi sebagai hasil

dari faktor pendapatan yang lebih rendah sehingga dapat dianggap sebagai

small higher-grade atau lebih rendah nisbah pengupasan open pit. Jika

mereka diikuti sebagai tahap produksi, mereka akan memberikan nilai yang
lebih tinggi untuk pengolahan dan/atau nisbah pengupasan yang lebih

rendah.

2) jadwalkan shell menengah yang dipilih atau pushback untuk memverifikasi

apakah target produksi dapat dipenuhi dengan persyaratan peralatan yang

masuk akal. Ini adalah proses iteratif yang biasanya melibatkan 3-4 iterasi

3) Pilih pit shell terakhir sebagai pushback terakhir yang menghasilkan arus

kas positif dari pengoptimalan pit shell. Pit terakhir mungkin sedikit lebih

kecil dari pada pendekatan standar.

4) Rancang akses jalan dan benches/ bangku pushback oleh pushback dari

awal operasi. Setiap pushback akan memiliki desain jalan yang berbeda.

Juga harus dicatat lubang starter dangkal dapat mempertahankan sudut

lereng curam dan ini dapat mengurangi limbah batu pengupasan di awal

tahun proyek

5) Jadwalkan umur penambangan mengikuti masing-masing pushback,

memastikan bahwa jadwal praktis dan jalan akses dipertahankan untuk

menyediakan tempat kerja yang cukup. Peralatan pemanfaatan disimpan

tinggi dengan mengalokasikan peralatan yang telah terkena bijih cukup

untuk jangka waktu tertentu untuk memulai pengupasan untuk pushback

berikutnya. Pushback atau intermediate pit dapat membantu dalam

pentahapan modal yang lebih baik untuk pembelian peralatan

pertambangan, konsisten pakan bijih ke pabrik, dan peningkatan

pemanfaatan armada pertambangan, dan aman cash flow yang sehat pada

periode awal kehidupan proyek
