model. Equation 5 defines the slope requirements and equation 6, makes sure that the profit of the pit is more than the minimum required. Max ORE b T (4) Subject to: i j ij ij Figure 2.

BEV ij is the block value of and P L is the minimum required profit. By changing the amount of P L , it is possible to determine a pit limit that provides the maximum amount of ore with the given amount of profit. One must first determine the UPL of the mine with the objective of profit maximization (This pit is called UPL1). Then setting P L equal to zero, one could define a pit with the maximum ore content and a profit of approximately zero. Then the amount of P L is set equal to profit of the UPL with the highest profit (This pit is called UPLn). Solving the model, one could determine the pits with highest profit and with the highest amount of ore content and a profit of approximately zero (figure 4). Afterward, by increasing the amount of P L in 5% steps (5% of the maximum profit), it is possible to determine a set of intermediate pits. The description of the intermediate pits such as mine life and ore content of each pit is depicted in figure 5. Applying the model in equations 4-6, one could reach for 9 distinct UPL. UPL1 is the one with highest profit, and UPLn or UPL9 is the one with the highest amount of ore content and a profit of approximately zero. 108

Description of intermediate pits Table 2 provides the amount of indicators for each pit. using equation 1 and 2 one could calculate the amount of indicators for each case. Then, the decision maker must provide the weight of importance of each indicator. This is a case dependent process and it also depend on the decision makers priorities. Using equation 3, one could determine the final score of the pits. Figure 6 shows the Figure 6. Final score of the pits Considering the final scores, it is obvious that UPL5 is the one with highest score, therefore UPL5 is selected as the final pit (figure 7). UPL5 is between the pit with the highest profit and the pit with the highest ore content. Table 2.
