09-MMP-B8, Mine Management & Systems Analysis — May 2018 sitting. 3-hour closed-book exam, answer all 4 questions for a total of 100 marks, Appendix A (discounted cash-flow factor tables) attached.

Reference texts. Hustrulid, Kuchta & Martin, Open Pit Mine Planning and Design (pit optimization, truck/shovel matching, mine scheduling); Hartman & Mutmansky (eds.), SME Mining Engineering Handbook (mine life-cycle, project economics, haulage systems); Blank & Tarquin, Engineering Economy (DCF/NPV/PVR/payback); Project Management Institute, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) (Critical Path Method).

Check: the exam booklet is headed “09-MMP-B8 Mine Management & Systems Analysis”, not Rock Slope Engineering. The content below solves the paper as printed (mine-life/DCF economics, shovel-truck fleet analysis, CPM project scheduling, 2-D pit-limit design), not rock-slope-stability content.
