| dc.description.abstract | Mining is a competitive business with many players. The survival of a mine in the business is determined by its efficiency and cost-effectiveness relative to the other producers. Both new and operating mines should select optimal technical variables, such as the production rate, that will make them competitive, taking into account mine unique project variables. This paper describes a model for estimating the technical efficiency of surface mine for Coal Supply to Local and Export (CSLE). The application of the model and evaluation is shown using simulated data. It proposes a predictive model of the efficiency of a new project. | en_ZA |
