Specifically, I aim to explore the application of mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) in combination with statistical methods to optimize the Net Present Value (NPV) of mining projects while considering various risk factors.The field of mine planning involves making critical decisions that have a significant impact on the profitability and sustainability of mining operations. However, these decisions are often made under uncertainty due to the inherent risks associated with mining, such as geological uncertainties, commodity price fluctuations, and operational constraints etc.To address this challenge, I plan to leverage the power of MILP, and by formulating a MILP model, I can represent the complex mine planning problem, considering various deterministic and probabilistic components.
