A section of a copper porphyry ore body is as shown. Determinethe most profitable final pit outline using Lerchs-Grossman 2Dgiven that the cut-off grade of 0.45% Cu. 1 block has dimensions of16m x 16m x 16m (HxLxW). The cost of mining a block waste is $50and that a value of a block of ore is approximated to be $100 x(grade expressed in %). Keep the pit angle at 45 degrees.
