Course Description

This work/process will entail developing the Whittle setup by using a hypothetical mine cost model and our prepared/validated block model in Courses 1 and 2 to run a comprehensive Whittle optimization. Both the qualitative and quantitative results/reports will be analyzed. This will include visualizing the optimal pit shell and exporting the economics to Excel spreadsheet to analyze the value of the optimal pit. Other inferences that can be deduced from these reports will also be discussed.

Course Outcomes

It is expected that the student at the end of the course will be able to:

  1. Setup a Whittle pit optimization
  2. Run the Whittle pit optimization
  3. Export and visualize both the qualitative and quantitative reports to make or come up with the appropriate strategic mine plan appreciate the workflow from the three Courses
