Abstract

  When deposit is composed of few ore bodies it is necessary to interconnect them into one integrated system. Suppose the deposit characteristics indicate that decline development system is preferred one. In such environment we treat development of an underground mine as access infrastructure composed of different decline sections. Access infrastructure designing can be treated as spanning the spatial network which will connect all main terminals (points). In our model we defined spatial network by adequate nonlinear constrained objective function representing the cost of mine development and ore haulage. To find the minimum value of the objective function we use Genetic algorithm.
