Samenvatting	The Pseudoflow Algorithm, developed by Dorit Hochbaum in 1992, is a polynomial-time algorithm for computing maximum weighted closures in directed acyclic graphs. In mining, it solves the ultimate pit limit problem more efficiently than earlier methods. By maintaining feasible pseudoflows and iteratively eliminating negative-cost nodes, it achieves near-optimal practical performance even on industrial-scale block models.	Lane's Cut-off Grade Model, developed by Kenneth F. Lane and formalized in his 1988 book, provides a rigorous economic framework for determining the minimum grade at which ore should be mined and processed. It accounts for variable mining costs, metallurgical recovery, and commodity prices to optimize profit per unit processed. The model is foundational in mining economics and underpins daily operational decisions at thousands of mines worldwide.	Stope layout optimization is the process of designing the size, shape, and spatial arrangement of underground mine excavations (stopes) to maximize ore recovery while maintaining safety and economic viability. It balances the desire for large extraction volumes against rock mechanics constraints and support costs. The layout determines mining productivity, capital investment in support systems, and long-term mine life.
