How to calculate the production capacity of open pit mines

1 Open pit production capacity can be estimated according to the following formula

Where: T — reasonable service life of the mine ( a );
A — mine production capacity ( t / a );
Q — Design of recoverable reserves within the mining boundary ( t )
2 The calculation of the production capacity of open pit mines shall comply with the following provisions:
(1) It shall be checked according to the number of excavators and the capacity of a single excavator that may be arranged on the mining steps working at the same time;
(2) It should be checked at the annual rate of decline;
(3) Reconstruction, expansion or large-scale open pit mines shall verify the passing capacity of the throat section of the transport line.
3 The production capacity of open pit mines shall be checked according to the number of excavators and the capacity of a single excavator that may be arranged on the mining steps at the same time. The inspection of open-pit production capacity shall comply with the following formula:




Where: A P — open pit production capacity ( t / a );
N —the number of excavators that can be placed in a single mining step;
L P - the length of the mining work line ( m ) that can be placed in a single mining step ;
L o — the length of the working line occupied by a single excavator ( m );
Q P - average production capacity of a single excavator ( t/a );
m — number of steps in the simultaneous mining.
4 The annual production capacity of each bucket of single bucket excavator should be selected according to the provisions of Table 1 .
Table 1
  Annual production capacity per cubic meter of single bucket excavator ( 10 4 m 3 /m 3 .a )
Mode of transport Rock category
Hard rock Medium hard rock Topsoil or rock without blasting
Car transport 15~18 18~21 21~24
Railway transportation 12~15 15~18 18~21
Note: The mechanical drive single bucket excavator (electric shovel) should take a low value, and the hydraulic excavator should take a high value.

5 When verifying the production capacity of open pits according to the annual decline rate, the annual decline rate should meet the requirements of Table 7.2.5 . Mines that use steep mining, staged mining, or early stage production with little reduction in mines can determine the rate of decline at a new level of preparation time.
Table
2 annual decline rate ( m/a )
Mode of transport category The rate of decline
Car transport Hillside open pit mine 24 to 36
Sag open pit mine 18 to 30
Rail transport Hillside open pit mine 12 to 15
Sag open pit mine 8 to 12
Note: When the stripping process is simple, the amount of pioneering work is small, or horizontal mining or short trench development is adopted, a large value can be obtained.
