Mine Strategy Solution

NPV Scheduler is alone amongst strategic open pit planning tools for combining pit optimization with fast optimized pushback design, blending and scheduling. Unlike other long term planning products NPV Scheduler produces plans clearly showing how, when and where the deposit should be mined to maximize value and meet production targets. NPV Scheduler+ further optimizes material allocation whilst NPV Scheduler+MFO adds cut-off grade optimization to the pit planner's armoury.

MultiMine Scheduler allows you to combine the optimal pushback designs from two or more NPV Scheduler projects, each built from separate and independent block models. The Scheduler operates in the same fashion as scheduling a single project in NPV Scheduler, except that the resulting schedule combines the output from multiple mines to satisfy the specified targets.

RM Scheduler has been specially designed to optimize the extraction of industrial minerals deposits such as limestone, gypsum, talc, aggregates and clay. You can choose to maximize your raw material resources available for blended products, or, choose to maximize the profit from mining those materials. RM Scheduler not only tells you the optimal limits of the quarry but will also tell you the optimal sequence by which the quarry should be mined to either deliver a consistently blended product or to deliver the highest net present value on your investment.

The calculation of tonnage and grade from a geological model is an integral part of every feasibility study and of both short and long term planning functions. However it is not sufficient just to block out volumes in the model and report this as reserves. What is required is an estimate of how many tonnes can be mined and at what grade, based on practical mining considerations. This is exactly what the Mineable Reserves Optimizer (MRO) does It identifies and evaluates mineable envelopes of material taking into account factors such as the minimum size and shape of the stopes or mining faces. Whether you are using MRO for open pit or underground, the critical factor is that it optimizes MINEABLE reserves.
