Mine Design—Mining

Mine Design Services

Mine design services encompass life of mine, medium term and short term pit design. This service gives you the ability to define the deposit according to geotechnical, mining operational, economical and environmental guidelines. It provides a 3D model of the mineable deposit, using the latest mining software solutions. Services we provide include:

Deliverables

Practical mine designs that fit with site requirements and allow for effective mining.

Determination of the best extraction methods and equipment selection.

Determination of the most appropriate drill and blast methodology.

Methodology

Our mining engineers use a combination of tools such as Surpac, Vulcan and Minescape to ensure that we are able to work with a wide range of different file types and data. These tools are employed by people who really know what they are doing and can turn out workable, effective designs that can be applied in the field, not just ‘pretty pictures’.

We don’t just work on projects, we also carry out long term out-sourcing work where we take over this function for an operation and support them externally.
