Main benefits
Integrates with 3D block model
Pit Expansion Tool integrates with the 3D Block Model, allowing you to consider detailed geotechnical constraints and quick reserves calculation.
Maximizes net present value
MinePlan Schedule Optimizer takes detailed mining constraints that must be considered in long-range planning to produce a schedule that maximizes NPV.
Integrates haulage constraints
The package ensures that haulage constraints are integrated directly into the optimization, as is stockpiling and cut-off grade analysis.
All the tools you need to produce long-term mine plans
MinePlan Long-Term Planning contains all the tools an engineer needs to produce long-term plans for open pit mines. MinePlan 3D CAD tools make it simple to create detailed pit designs, dump designs and road designs.
The Pit Expansion Tool is directly integrated with the 3D block model, allowing consideration of detailed geotechnical constraints and quick reserves calculation.
MinePlan Schedule Optimizer (MPSO) is the industry-leading solution for schedule optimization, taking all detailed mining constraints that must be considered in long-range planning, and producing a schedule that maximizes NPV over the life of the mine.
Haulage constraints are applied to the optimization, as is stockpiling and cut-off grade analysis. The scheduler can be run forward-looking using multi-period windows, ensuring that the mathematically optimal schedule over the full life of the mine is determined. Reporting is easy with built in Advanced Reporting and Charting (ARC) technology.
Includes the multi-faceted MinePlan Schedule Optimizer
MinePlan Schedule Optimizer (MPSO) is the industry-leading solution for schedule optimization, taking all detailed mining targets that must be considered in long-range planning, and producing a schedule that maximizes net present value (NPV) over the life of the mine.
3D block model integration with Pit Expansion Tool
As well as MinePlan 3D CAD tools for creating detailed pit designs, dump designs, and road designs, the package includes the Pit Expansion Tool, which is directly integrated with the 3D block model. Consider detailed geotechnical constraints and quickly calculate reserves.
Multi-period windows ensure optimal life-of-mine schedule
The scheduler can be run forward-looking using multi-period windows, ensuring that the mathematically optimal schedule over the full life of the mine is determined. Advanced Reporting and Charting allows you to generate robust, detailed reports.
Manage equipment and material requirements
Haulage is a solution for managing detailed equipment and material routing requirements, and is used to generate haulage profiles, cycle time files and reports.
Planning optimization with green constraints
In a case study, Mining Engineering Magazine features Vale NC’s use of MinePlan to optimize dump planning within proximity of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
MinePlan release improves scheduling tools
Among the exciting new features in the latest release of MinePlan is a new, intuitive interface for the Reserves tool, which benefits users of MinePlan Activity Scheduler and MinePlan Scheduler Optimizer.
