      We present a methodology for long-term mine planning based on a general capacitated multicommodity network flow formulation. It considers underground and open-pit ore deposits sharing multiple downstream processing plants ...
    • Pascual Jiménez, Rodrigo; Godoy, D.; Figueroa, H. (John Wiley & Sons, 2013)
      When a company decides to outsource a service, the most important reasons for doing so usually are to focus on core business, to be able to access high-quality services at lower costs, or to benefit from risk sharing. ...
    • Saavedra Rosas, J.; Jelvez, E.; Amaya, J.; Morales, N. (Southern African Inst Mining Metallurgy, 2016-07)
      A crucial problem in the open pit mining industry is to determine the optimal block scheduling, defining how the orebody will be sequenced for exploitation. An orebody is often comprised of several thousand or million ...

    • Estay, Humberto; Gim-Krumm, Minghai; Seriche, Gabriel; Quilaqueo, Michelle; Barros, Lorena; Ruby Figueroa, René; Romero, Julio; Troncoso, Elizabeth (Elsevier, 2020)
      The SART (Sulfidization, Acidification, Recycling and Thickening) process has been successfully installed to recover cyanide and copper in seven worldwide gold cyanidation plants in the last 15 years. This technology has ...
    • Yarmuch Guzmán, Juan; Brazil, Marcus; Rubinstein, Hyam; Thomas, Doreen A. (Elsevier, 2020)
      The problem studied in this paper is that of designing the optimal open pit haulage ramp that, for a given ramp width and a maximum ramp gradient, connects two points of the mine, minimising construction and operational ...
    • Smoljanovic Muñoz, Milivoj Antonio (Universidad de Chile, 2012)
      Currently, mine plans are optimized by using many criteria, such as profit, life of mine, concentration of some pollutants, mining costs, confidence level or mineral resources, while attending constraints related to ...
    • Schwartz, Daniel; Keenan, Elizabeth A.; Imas, Alex; Gneezy, Ayelet (Academic Press Inc., 2019)
      The design of effective incentive schemes that are both successful in motivating employees and keeping down costs is of critical importance. Research has demonstrated that prosocial incentives, where individuals’ effort ...

      Context. Detecting and characterizing substellar companions for which the luminosity, mass, and age can be determined independently is of utter importance to test and calibrate the evolutionary models due to uncertainties ...
    • Méndez Bussard, René Alejandro; Claveria, Ruben M.; Orchard Concha, Marcos; Silva, Jorge F. (IOP Publishing Ltd., 2017)
      We present orbital elements and mass sums for 18 visual binary stars of spectral types B to K (five of which are new orbits) with periods ranging from 20 to more than 500 yr. For two double-line spectroscopic binaries with ...
