minemax planner - functionality overview

Features and Benets

Minemax Planner offers a full range of features that make it the solution of choice for rapid pit optimization and high-level strategic planning

Features
Very fast pit optimization using modern and efficient max-ow algorithm Extremely easy-to-use user interface with step-by-step workows

Benets

Gives the same pit shells as LG-based optimizers, but in a fraction of the time Provides you with more time for scenario analysis and project decision making A wider range of people are able to do high-level project analysis Linear progression through workow steps produces results for analysis quickly and easily Pre-dened workows for each project type virtually eliminates set-up time: ultimate pit,
pit shells, pushbacks and schedule

Large model capabilities with 64-bit optimization

Get even more value out of your projects by optimizing on smaller block sizes Easily handles tens of millions of blocks on computers with sufficient memory Save even more time in pit optimization of large models compared with LG optimizers Slice and dice through pit shells, pushbacks and annual face positions for immediate validation Dxf and block-level integration to mine design packages for detailed pit design
of mining practicality

High-performance 3D visualization

Pre-dened charts and tabular reports for pit shells, pushbacks and schedules, showing tonnes, grade and project value Pushback generation with minimum mining width

Instant access charts for rapid analysis of project economics Quickly understand sensitivity to metal prices Gain insight into risk associated with project size Automatic combination of pit shells into pushbacks enables seamless ow from pit shell Ensure subsequent schedules are not only optimal but practically mineable Quickly determine optimal project value in the context of operational mining Understand the sensitivity to mining and processing infrastructure alternatives
and processing constraints generation to schedule optimization

NPV schedule optimization

Integration from block model through pit optimization, nested shells and pushbacks to NPV optimal schedules

Single tool analysis reduces potential errors rising from import and export between
different tools
