Capturing the Value of Lithological Domain Uncertainty in Geometallurgical Mine–Plant Planning
Integrated mine–plant optimization should account for multiple geological uncertainties, yet practice typically considers only grade. Lithological domain uncertainty is a distinct source of geometallurgical variability because rock type governs comminution, recovery, cost, and blending. This paper extends a two-stage s...
