Analysis the profitability of the copper ore exploitation on the Cerovo Primarno-Drenova deposit for the capacities of flotation ore processing of 6.0 and 12.0 million tons annually

The problem of exploitation planning refers to A criterion used to optimize the open pit. In spite of sophisticated algorithms, the problem of optimization is always an economic problem, within which the procedures for assessment the necessary economic parameters are defined. Every ore body is different, but the main steps in planning an open pit, when the main objective is to make a profit, are developed by the same principle. When planning the copper ore exploitation, the final economic result depends on the overall technological process of copper obtaining copper as a final product.This work present an economic analysis of the copper ore exploitation on the Cerovo Primarno-Drenova deposit for athe nnual capacity of flotation processing of 6.0 and 12.0 million tons, using the software for economic analysis and long-term planning of open pits Whittle surface (Dassault Systèmes-Geovia).
