pushback Explanation: Though French texts explain the meaning of the word, I haven't found one that proposes a French equivalent, i.e. they use 'pushback' throughout. As to what it is: Pushbacks (Figure 1) are essentially a series of manageable exploitation phases for an open pit mine. A pushback is ideally composed of a unique, spatially contiguous volume that can be mined with available mining equipment and that meets practical geometric mining constraints. http://www.scielo.org.za/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S... La première étape de la planification d’une séquence de minage est de diviser le volume inclus dans les contours ultimes de la fosse en unités de minage plus facilement gérables appelées ici « pushback ». La séquence de minage doit commencer avec l’exploitation de la portion du gisement la plus riche en minerai de hautes teneurs afin de générer un flux de trésorerie maximal en début de projet. Des fosses imbriquées sont ainsi ordonnées de manière croissante selon leurs flux de trésorerie respectifs. https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/213617353.pdf [The Univ. of Montréal student uses 'pushback' throughout her MSc dissertation] Each pushback makes the open-cast mine larger (horizontally) and/or deeper.  |

Time and again we were shown a big pit design (the final pit) that was then split into smaller phases (pushbacks) and personally I failed to fully grasp the reason behind that. I had a couple of theories why I thought this happened. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 heures (2024-03-04 13:33:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- pushbacks = les phases?? https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=pushbacks pit mining&lr=la... |
