First, the SVR principle for function approximation is introduced, and an SVR method for solving linear operator equations with knowing some values of the right-hand function and without knowing its form is depicted. Then, the principle for solving the IRNPDF based on SVR and the method for constructing cross-kernel functions are proposed. Finally, an empirical example is given to verify the validity of the method. The results show that the proposed method can overcome the shortcomings of the traditional parametric methods, which have strict restrictions on the option exercise price; meanwhile, it requires less data than other non-parametric methods, and it is a promising method for the recover of IRNPDF.展开更多

The most important factor in reserve estimation is the metal price. Metal price fluctuations in recent years were exaggerated, and imposed a high degree of uncertainty to the reserve estimation, and in consequence to the whole mine planning procedure. Real option approach is an efficient method of decision making in the uncertain conditions. This approach has been used for evaluation of defined natural resources projects until now. This study considering the metal price uncertainty used real option approach to prepare a methodology for reserve estimation in open pit mines. This study was done on a copper cylindrical deposit, but the achieved methodology can be adjusted for all kinds of deposits. This methodology was comprehensively described through the examples in such a manner that can be used by the mine planners.展开更多
