The document discusses mineral deposit modelling and mine planning in Surpac including exploration drilling, block modelling of deposits, open pit and underground mine design. It also covers waste rock dump design considering location, topography, water issues and rehabilitation. Environmental and social factors like acid rock drainage, regulations and stability analyses are examined. Material properties such as swell and compaction are also addressed. The document outlines the tailings cycle from mining to storage or backfilling and water management. It provides a mining cost estimation model breaking down operating costs for equipment, maintenance, fuel and other expenses.
