The purpose of these guidelines is to provide guidance on the preparation of Mine Closure Plans (or referred to as “the Plans”) to meet Western Australian regulatory requirements.
Consistent with industry leading practice, the guidelines are based on the principle that planning for mine closure should be an integral part of mine development and operations planning and should start “up front” as part of mine feasibility studies, before mining begins.

В книге систематизированы исследования по вопросам оперативного планирования и управления горно-транспортными работами на карьерах. Приведены общие принципы и особенности научного подхода к функционированию систем оперативного планирования и управления, а также методические основы формализации задач оптимальной работы горнотранспортных комплексов.

One of the first things discussed in an Introduction to Mining course and one which students must commit to memory is the definition of ‘ore’. One of the more common definitions (USBM, 1967) is given below:
Ore: A metalliferous mineral, or an aggregate of metalliferous minerals, more or less mixed with gangue which from the standpoint of the miner can be mined at a profit or, from the standpoint of a metallurgist can be treated at a profit.
