    The document outlines the topics that need to be addressed in a concept plan report for a mine design project, including: Comparing surface versus underground mining and selecting 2-3 viable mining methods. Describing the advantages and disadvantages of each. For the chosen method, outlining the mining sequence, life of mine, annual production rates, and closure/reclamation plan. Identifying infrastructure, special issues like stability and relocation needs, and buffer zones. Next steps include selecting pit shells and production rates.

    Topics that need to be addressed in the report:


    Compare doing a surface versus underground mining method (is there an
    obvious choice?) o Narrow down applicable mining methods down to 2
    or 3 types (depending on the orebody geometry, geotechnical and
    hydrogeological parameters established)
    Compare the 2 or 3 mining methods stating the advantages and disadvantages
    of each method (then choose one)
    For the chosen mining method, describe:
    Direction or possible mining sequence sub pits/benches sequences with ore to
    waste ratios or development/stope sequence (include image)
    Life of mine (minimum of 10 years)
    Annual waste and ore volume/tonnage delivery rates (graph)
    Closure purpose including landscape plan compared to original topography:
    Estimated location and size of waste structures dump and tailings facilities o
    Estimated location and size of environmental remediation efforts wetlands,
    forestry, agriculture, lakes, etc.
    Anticipated infrastructure left behind powerlines, roads, airstrips, port or plant
    facilities (are there any future uses for infrastructure left behind)
    Statement of community involvement throughout project (specifically during
    reclamation, who will be taking environmental custodianship)
    Special attention issues identifies on initial plan, with respect:
    geotechnical stability, pump/sump locations, ARD concerns, tailings dams o
    relocation of communities and farm land
    Location of mine infrastructure on plan view in relation to surrounding area settling ponds, plants, shops, offices, access, utilities including
    sight/noise/air quality buffer zone to surrounding community (if needed)
    What should be done in terms of the project:
    Pit shells should be chosen
    Annual rates for waste and ore

    Questions for Jen:


    Strip mine plan how to do it, how to model,
    How much detail for equipment selection? Sizes, numbers etc.
