Ore extraction optimisation: project management
For many mining operations, finding the maximum ore extraction optimisation schedule is a manual process that combines spreadsheets with project management applications. While these tools are capable of getting the job done, they have their share of shortcomings such as a lack of integration, difficulty managing complex formulae, and importing and exporting files. This can prove very costly over the life of a mine and can potentially ruin the likelihood of an operation’s success.
Using Micromine, an exploration and 3D mine design solution, mine planners are given a powerful set of tools that simplify the ore extraction optimisation process. Micromine provides its users with a greater understanding of their project, increasing the chance of success.
Ore extraction optimisation: scheduler
For ore extraction optimisation, Micromine’s scheduler module assists with creating the optimum mineral extraction process to meet desired objectives.
This is achieved by using Micromine’s core and wireframing modules to generate 3D mining blocks. These define the tonnes and grade or an orebody as a 3D view, forming the basis from which the extraction schedule is built.
Micromine is the ideal application for smaller operations that don’t need an expensive scheduling application. The scheduler’s ability to integrate with other Micromine modules, eliminates the need to exchange data therefore reducing data handling time.
