Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe a user oriented computer program for calculating the cost of mining and reclamation with various materials handling techniques and procedures in different pit configurations. Section II provides a basic overview of the strip mining process and problems encountered. Section III describes the mining cost program with emphasis on input data and procedures, the computation algorithm and the output. Section IV presents illustrative results from the analysis of the use of scrapers in various pit configurations. Finally, Section V summarizes the study and identifies other problems and policy issues that can be evaluated with the cost analysis program.
