MINE PLANNING & SCHEDULING

 

Mine planning provides solutions through the application of all current and relevant information. Accurate life of mine planning is essential to the operation and the future economic success of your mining project. Mining Plus uses state of the art mining software systems to:​

​

  • Conduct surface and underground mine optimisations.

  • Engineer detailed surface and underground mine designs.

  • Develop detailed mine schedules

  • Demonstrate robust economics of mining projects.

​

These steps produce mine designs and schedules that are easily transferable to onsite mine planning and short-term scheduling teams. Mining Plus prides itself on schedules that require minimum changes when progressing from early stage studies to operational implementation. Processes and tools have been specifically designed to convey schedule information to mine operation teams to ensure the short-term objectives are aligned with the long-term strategic plan.
