    A Formal Approach to Economic Analysis of Pit Slope Design

    By Coates D. F, Neil T. J, O&apos

    A proper economic analysis of pit slope design must reflect the trade-off between the benefits and the increased risks of slope fail- ure inherent in steeper slope angles. However, no formal framewo
