Mine Scheduling—Mining

Mine Scheduling Services

Mine scheduling utilises the latest mining software technology to model the mining operation in order to illustrate the viability of chosen mining techniques, reserve characteristics, equipment selection and pit design. The service provides the medium for further modelling of the resource (via Cost Estimation) to give you an understanding of the commercial viability of the proposed mining operation. Services we provide are:
Short Term — 0 to 3 months
Medium Term — 3 months to 5 years
Long Term — 5 years to LOM
Open Pit Optimisation Studies
Selection of Mining Method
Optimised Production Scheduling

Deliverables

A schedule that delivers the correct quantity of material with the right grade at the right time and with a minimum of variability.

Workable extraction plans that can be applied in the field and result in correct outcomes and efficient mining.

Methodology

Our engineers use a combination of mine design software such as Vulcan, Surpac and Minescape in conjunction with specialist scheduling tools such as Xpac (including AutoScheduler and Advanced Destination Scheduler) to determine the best possible scheduling outcome for your site.
