$300,000.00
Mine Haulage Network Simulation-Optimization
FY 2024-25
Summary
The energy and mining sector provides billions of dollars every year in revenue to governments - money that
supports critical social programs such as health care, education and public pensions. Canada has a global
responsibility to develop and utilize its mineral resources sustainably and optimally. This research project will
contribute to cost reduction in mining projects in order to be able to develop green technologies and
knowledge for sustainable natural resources development. The proposed research program builds on our past
findings to develop an integrated simulation-optimization framework for mine haulage systems in the presence of operational uncertainty.
