Abstract: This paper provides the framework for integrating slope stability considerations in the early stages of mine 
planning for surface mine operations. The block model and the resulting pit optimisation shells are linked to 
a series of algorithms that are used to identify potential instability areas in any particular pit of the mining 
push-backs. The algorithms have been developed to facilitate limit equilibrium stability analyses and to 
construct and visualise 3-D susceptibility maps. This has resulted in an integrated process that allows for 
continuous updating of the stability and mine models from feasibility to production.
