This process is executed as part of project planning and is critical before the mining phase begins. Nowadays, modeling is restricted for different mining companies because obtaining data sometimes requires considerable investment and waiting time. To solve this problem, in this research study, we propose a model that will help speed up this process based on the history of metal prices. By applying the Monte Carlo method, various scenarios are proposed, which will be submitted to a mine modeling software in order to provide insights into proper decision making. Results will be interpreted under the modeling, which will yield an approximate design of the final deposit to be exploited. It was also found that this model may not only be limited to underground mining, as in this case study, but it could also be applied in open pit mines.","PeriodicalId":408525,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Sciences and Humanities International Research Conference (SHIRCON)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130936361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, a risk that is not commonly associated with such projects is the socio-environmental aspect even though an initial contact with the community has been established at this stage. Further, certain social responsibility models are observed to be effective; however, their applicability is difficult in high-risk fields, such as exploration, because of the high cost and time required for their application. Therefore, the objective of this study is to propose a socio-environmental risk assessment model that can be used to measure the risk levels and to prevent potential conflicts. The proposed method analyzes the perceptions and vulnerability of the communities to identify their socio-environmental risks and to obtain the final risk index of the project. Further, the application of this method can be explained by conducting a case study in the influential areas of the Antakori Project in Cajamarca, Peru.","PeriodicalId":408525,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Sciences and Humanities International Research Conference (SHIRCON)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126078442","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This mine exhibits a depth of approximately 1,500 meters, and its depth is being increased even further. The operations at this mine are divided into the upper and lower zone operations. This division eventually created a problem related to the seismicity induced by the mining activities, resulting in a high concentration of stress and accumulated energy, which further led to landslides or rock bursts that directly affected workers, equipment, and the mine infrastructure. The Yauliyacu mining unit exhibits a microseismic system that is strategically distributed throughout the mine, monitoring the occurrence of these events in real time. The microseismic event records during the second semester of 2017 were analyzed to identify the affected levels or the levels exhibiting considerable susceptibility to the manifestation of rock bursts. The redistribution behavior of the main stress in underground horseshoe openings were analyzed for the Yauliyacu mining unit using another type of opening proposed in this study.","PeriodicalId":408525,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Sciences and Humanities International Research Conference (SHIRCON)","volume":"326 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132630363","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since this problem could not be resolved through technological initiatives, a management-based solution is being sought. The proposed methodology identifies electrical power deficiencies by collecting data from the National Institute of Statistics and Information (INEI) at a national, regional, provincial, and particularly, district levels. A proposal was presented based on project management established by the project management institute (PMI) methodology, which has been simulated using HOMER software. The results obtained were compared with the previously obtained results, and it was found that the proposal improves the access to rural power significantly through a wind-photovoltaic hybrid system.","PeriodicalId":408525,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Sciences and Humanities International Research Conference (SHIRCON)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126856971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
