A section of a copper porphyry ore body is as shown.
Determine the most profitable final pit outline using
Lerchs-Grossman 2D given that the cut-off grade of 0.45% Cu. 1
block has dimensions of 16m x 16m x 16m (HxLxW). The cost of mining
a block waste is $50 and that a value of a block of ore is
approximated to be $100 x (grade expressed in %). Keep the pit
angle at 45 degrees.
