A Framework for Optimizing Simulation Model Validation & Verification

Thirty years of research on validation and verification have returned a plethora of methods and statistical techniques through methodological and case studies. It is, however, this abundance of methods and techniques that poses a major challenge. Due to time and budget constraints, it is impossible to apply all the available methods and...

A Framework for Simulation Validation & Verification Method Selection

Thirty years of research on validation and verification (V\&V) has returned a plethora of methods, statistical techniques, and reported case studies. It is that abundance of methods that poses a major challenge. Because of overlap between methods and time and budget constraints, it is impossible to apply all the available methods in a single...

Underground mining method selection and preliminary techno-economic mine design for the Wombat orebody, Kylylahti deposit, Finland

Mining method selection lies at the basis of every mining operation and is essential for maximizing economic return. Especially in the current market with decreasing metal prices selecting the right method can mean the difference between a viable and a non-viable operation. More importantly the right mining method increases the safety of...
