Stochastic stope design optimisation under grade uncertainty and dynamic development costs

Stope design optimisation defines three-dimensional extraction volumes aiming to maximise cashflows, subject to geotechnical and operational constraints. Available stope layout methods are deterministic, failing to account for grade uncertainty and variability that affect stope locations and sizes,...
