Research on correlate and cost optimization of the down stream mining operations with rock blasting results

To address the issue of high cost associated with open-pit mining, a cost optimization model was established and an open model was developed to visualize these costs by comprehensively considering the entire open-pit-mining process and linking the effects of mine blasting to the various processes involved in open-pit mining. The established model optimized the open-pit mining cost by 10%. Among all the parameters considered, drill diameter exerted the greatest influence on the mining cost, with a sensitivity of 0.653. The study results demonstrated that the established model effectively optimized open-pit mining costs and could serve as a reference for controlling the costs associated with mining operations.
