Economic-Mathematical Method to Determine the Optimum Production in Underground Coal Mine

A method to determine optimum production is presented. First, based on analysis of various geological, technological and economic factors that influence the determination of underground mine capacity, a feasible range of production capacity is selected. Second, by means of scale economic theory and depletion feature of mineral resounce, an economicmathematical model that aimed at maximum net profit in the whole life of mine is developed to optimum production. The model was tested in a undergrond mine.
