Customer
Each customer can purchase one element, and each element can be sold to one customer.
Specify the following settings for the customer:
Element
Select the element purchased by the customer.
The list of options configured on the Optimisation | Stope Optimiser | Mine > Definition | Model | Elements tab.
Price
Specify the price per unit of element paid by the customer.
Price units
Select the units to which the Price is referenced.
Selling cost
Specify the cost per unit of element incurred when selling the element to the customer.
Taxes that are levied on the quantity of element extracted should be included in these costs. However, taxes that are levied as a percentage of the net profit from the block cannot (and should not) be included here – such taxes do not affect the shapes or sequencing of the optimal pits, only the final values of those pits, and their effects can be modelled with appropriate Revenue Adjustment Factors.
Selling cost units
Select the units to which the Selling cost is referenced.
