Multiple cut-off grade optimization by genetic algorithms and comparison with grid search method and dynamic programming. Journal of the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, 116(7), 681-688.2225-6253https://hdl.handle.net/11468/13820Optimization of cut-off grades is a fundamental issue for mineral deposits. Determination of optimum cut-off grades, instead of application of a static cut-off grade for the life of a mine, maximizes the net present value. The authors describe the general problem of cut-off grade optimization for multi-mineral deposits and outline the use of genetic algorithms, the grid search method, and dynamic programming for optimal cut-off grade schedules for deposits with up to three constituent minerals. The methods are compared by assessing the results of the implications involved in using them.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCut-off gradeGenetic algorithmsMulti-mineral depositOptimizationSequencingArticle1167681688WOS:0003897416000122-s2.0-8498304111210.17159/2411-9717/2016/v116n7a10Q3Q4
