According to Canada's Economic Action Plan the energy and mining sector provides approximately $25 billion a year in revenue to governments money that supports critical social programs such as health care, education, and public pensions. Over the next decade, more than 600 major resource projects, worth over $680 billion, are planned to move ahead. Canada has a global responsibility to develop and utilize its mineral resources sustainably and optimally. The proposed research is aligned with the Sustainable Mineral Development Initiative, under the collaborative leadership of Natural Resources Canada, to create a competitive advantage in mineral resource development and planning for Canada. The suggested research program aims to develop an integrated mine systems planning, whereby a mineral is extracted and prepared within a desired market specification, with the minimum repercussions on the environment, maximum economic return, and within acceptable social, legal, and regulatory constraints. This proposal is an extension to our past research and findings on long-term, short-term and operational mine planning. The goal is to develop an integrated mine planning framework that can produce feasible, reliable, and achievable mine plans to avoid project disruptions and improve operational efficiencies in order to generate maximum economic returns within acceptable social and environmental constraints. It is anticipated that the outcome of this research will contribute to responsible resource development by transferring knowledge to practitioners and end-users through prototype open-source software applications in the industry. It is foreseen that three PhD and three Master's students will be trained through this program.

根据加拿大的经济行动计划，能源和采矿业每年为政府提供约 250 亿加元的收入，用于支持医疗保健、教育和公共养老金等重要的社会项目。未来十年，计划推进600多个重大资源项目，总价值超过6800亿美元。加拿大负有可持续、最佳地开发和利用其矿产资源的全球责任。拟议的研究与加拿大自然资源部合作领导下的可持续矿产开发倡议保持一致，旨在为加拿大在矿产资源开发和规划方面创造竞争优势。建议的研究计划旨在制定综合矿山系统规划，从而在所需的市场规格内提取和制备矿物，对环境的影响最小，经济回报最大，并且在可接受的社会、法律和监管限制范围内。该提案是我们过去关于长期、短期和运营矿山规划的研究和发现的延伸。目标是开发一个综合矿山规划框架，能够制定可行、可靠和可实现的矿山计划，以避免项目中断并提高运营效率，从而在可接受的社会和环境限制内产生最大的经济回报。预计这项研究的成果将通过行业中的原型开源软件应用程序将知识传递给从业者和最终用户，从而有助于负责任的资源开发。预计通过该项目将培养3名博士生和3名硕士生。
