Using a combination of old and new equipment in open-pit mines and quarries can undoubtedly deliver further business advantages. This approach supports more sustainable operations by leveraging the usable life of existing machinery, thereby reducing waste …
Background information, formulae and a systematic set of procedures for estimating capital and operating costs for open pit mining equipment are presented in this paper. Firstly, equipment capital costs are required. These can be obtained from either suppliers, contractors or from first principles. The equipment is then divided into cost elements.
Such data is often available in open sources. Depreciation and equipment replacement. For existing equipment and operations where the Life of Mine (LoM) exceeds 15 years, it's essential to plan for depreciation expenses …
Principal factors influencing equipment selection can be grouped into five basic categories: tonnage requirements, ore and waste; topography and property line considerations; ore control requirements; physical characteristics of ore and waste; and climatic considerations.

In open-pit mining, shovels (excavators) and trucks are the most widely used equipment, because material handling (mainly excavation with haulage) is the most important mining operation. According to previous studies, material handling accounts for nearly 50% of the total operating cost in most open-pit mines.
Open-pit mining, or opencast mining, is a surface mining technique used for large-scale operations. It involves extracting minerals from a pit by removing waste rock and overburden. Commonly used for minerals like copper, gold, and iron ore, requires heavy equipment such as trucks and shovels to efficiently extract the ore.
Such data is often available in open sources. Depreciation and equipment replacement. For existing equipment and operations where the Life of Mine (LoM) exceeds 15 years, it's essential to plan for depreciation expenses and potential replacement of high-value equipment during the project's lifespan. Taxes.

Open pit mining method is one of the surface mining methods that has a traditional cone-shaped excavation and is usually employed to exploit a near-surface, nonselective and low-grade zones deposits. It often results in high produc-tivity and requires large capital investments, low operating costs, and good safety conditions.
We will discuss all the major equipment you will need to start your open pit mining business, what the equipment is used for, and of course, how much it will cost you to acquire each equipment.
