Abstract
Well planned research may play an integral part in the life of a mine or project and creates a practical plan of running and developing the mine. These research results for the case study company may be used as a practical strategic mine plan, in the end not only pro-long the life of the mine but achieve targeted value and tonnes for the specific plant. This research provides four different scenarios whereby there are certain constraints applied, and the outcome of the schedules used to make a calculated decision on the best way of mining a specific ore body.
