OPEN PIT, UNDERGROUND AND TRANSITION

MINE PLANNING SERVICES

We design mining strategies that maximize project value while minimizing technical and environmental risks.

I. Mining Operations Design

– Drilling

– Blasting

– Loading and Hauling

– Dumping

– Pre-Stripping

– Ground Support

– Ventilation

– Backfilling

II. Open-Pit Mining Optimization, Design, and Planning

– Profit optimization through maximum flow-based methods.

– Traditional mining plan sequencing by phases and benches.

– Direct Block Scheduling.

– Stochastic Direct Block Scheduling.

– Incorporation of geological uncertainty.

– Incorporation of geometallurgical uncertainty.

– Integration of geotechnical, environmental, and logistical capacity constraints.

– Multi-scenario sensitivity analysis.

– 2D/3D slope stability modeling.

– Mining design.

– Progressive closure plans with ecological restoration integrated into the mining sequence.

III. Underground Mining Optimization, Design, and Planning

– Selection of the optimal method (block caving, cut and fill, sublevel stoping, room and pillar, etc.) through multi-criteria analysis.

– Optimization of underground layouts.

– Design of mine development and infrastructure.

– Design of underground production units (all methods).

– Stochastic simulation of cave-ins using PCBC (Block Caving).

– Optimization of ramps, raises, and tunnels using shortest path algorithms.

– Development sequence planning with integration of ventilation and logistics constraints.

– CFD modeling of airflow.
Numerical stress modeling to define drilling and support patterns.

– Optimization of bolt meshes and shotcrete through deep learning algorithms trained on historical data.

– Optimization of underground transportation systems using discrete simulation.
