 Event - Minas Gerais, Brazil

Case studies of three deposits were assessed using a simplified approach to pit optimization at a theoretical PEA level. These are not intended to showcase a specific workflow that must be followed, but rather to show examples of how the geotechnical risk can be considered when developing the slope design.
