Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper reports on research in which pit designs using the Lerchs-Grossman and Moving Cone Algorithms were individually compared with those of the Dynamic Cone Algorithm. The comparisons wore on the basis of total final pit economic values. Details of the study are described and the results obtained discussed. The results showed that each algorithm in the pairs tested, gave several higher final pit economic values than the other. It is concluded that a correct approach to open pit optimization is to use several different algorithms and then select the beat valued pit from among the resulting designs.
