Optimization of cut-off grades is a fundamental issue for metallic ore deposits. Cut-off grade is used to classify the material as ore or waste. Because of the time value of money, in order to achieve the maximum net present value, an optimum schedules of cut-off grades must be used. Depletion rates is the rate of depletion of a mineral deposit. Variable mining costs are to be applied to the really excavated material, as some of the depletion can be left in-situ. Because of access constraints, some of the blocks that have an average grade less than the determined cut-off grade are left in-situ, some of them are excavated and dumped as waste material. Naturally, variable mining costs should be applied to the blocks of a mineral deposit that are actually excavated. The probability density function of an exponential distribution is used to find the portion of the depletion rate over the production rate that is to be left in situ. As a result, inverse probability density function is to be applied as the portion of the depletion rate over the production rate that is to be excavated and dumped. The parts of a mineral deposit that are excavated but will be dumped as waste material incur some additional cost of rehabilitation that is to be included in the algorithm of the cut-off grades optimization. This paper describes the general problem of cut-off grades optimization and outlines the further extension of the method including various depletion rates and variable rehabilitation cost. The author introduces the general background of use of grid search in cut-off grades optimization by using various depletion rates and variable rehabilitation cost. The Software developed in this subject is checked by means of a case study.
