Q

A 20-t capacity, articulated rear-dump truck hauls ore to the surface. Ore is placed in the truck by a 6.1-m3-capacity remotely
operated loader near the entrance of the stope. The truck hauls the ore 550 m along a nearly level drift, and then it hauls the ore
1,450 m up a 10% gradient to the surface. After reaching the surface, the truck travels another 200 m to the mill, where the ore is
dumped into a crusher feed bin. Find the total travel time of the truck considering the approximate hauling speeds over different
gradients below
- Up a 10% gradient, loaded ≈ 6.4 km/h
- Over a level gradient, loaded ≈ 16.1 km/h
- Over a level gradient, empty ≈ 20.3 km/h
- Down a 10% gradient, empty ≈ 15.8 km/h

Mine the high-grade block together with the surrounding adjacent blocks. c. Refer to the block model for possible grade discrepancies. d. Mine the blocks, but make sure to haul the ore and waste to different dumping areas or stockpiles.
b. Mine the high-grade block together with the surrounding adjacent blocks.

As the grade control shipment engineer, you are tasked to develop a blending strategy for nickel laterite mine to achieve a target nickel grade of 1.5%. Stockpile A has a volume of 1,000,000 tons, 1.0% Ni grade, and a cost of $20/ton. Stockpile B has 500,000 tons of available ore volume, 1.5% Ni grade, and a cost of $25/ton. Lastly, stockpile C has a volume of 300,000 tons of ore, 2.0% Ni, and a cost of $30 per ton. Find the blending ratio that meets the target nickel grade and total ore required of 800,000 tons, with the lowest possible cost while ensuring that at least 100,000 tons of Stockpile C remain unused. a. Stockpile A: 200,000 Tons; Stockpile B: 300,000 Tons; Stockpile C: 300,000 Tons b. Stockpile A: 100,000 Tons; Stockpile B: 400,000 Tons; Stockpile C: 300,000 Tons c. Stockpile A: 200,000 Tons; Stockpile B: 400,000 Tons; Stockpile C: 200,000 Tons d. Stockpile A: 250,000 Tons; Stockpile B: 250,000 Tons; Stockpile C: 300,000 Tons
c. Stockpile A: 200,000 Tons; Stockpile B: 400,000 Tons; Stockpile C: 200,000 Tons
