Unlock the Power of Your Mine Schedules with Geovia MineSched in Indonesia

GEOVIA MineSched makes developing a tactical mine plan — a plan that turns the decisions defined in a long-term strategic mine plan into a schedule to guide day-to-day operations — breathtakingly easy by providing intuitive, rapid setup, and guided workflows that enable the creation of target-based, long- and short-term schedules from pre-created block and polygon models.

For open pit mines, MineSched supports efficient, automated scheduling of pit push-backs and mining benches. For underground mines, it allows engineers to model material flow through re-mucks, ore passes, and material transport levels. For all mines, it expedites comparisons between thousands of potential scheduling scenarios to help determine the one schedule with the highest operational productivity and profitability.

GEOVIA Mine Scheduling FAQ

How do you create a mine plan with GEOVIA MineSched?

Creating a mine plan with GEOVIA MineSched involves several steps, including data input, design, scheduling, and analysis. Below is a general outline of the process:

  1. Data Input and Preparation:
    • Start by importing or inputting all the necessary geological and mining data into GEOVIA MineSched. This includes geological models, ore reserves, infrastructure details, and equipment specifications.
  2. Create a Geological Model:
    • Build a detailed geological model of the mine site using available geological data. This will help in defining ore bodies, waste zones, and other relevant geological features.
  3. Define Mining Constraints:
    • Specify constraints such as mining equipment limitations, safety requirements, and environmental regulations that need to be adhered to during the mine planning process.
  4. Design the Mining Phases:
    • Define the mining phases, including the sequence in which different parts of the deposit will be mined. Consider factors like pit design, bench design, and mining method selection.
  5. Create Equipment and Resource Schedules:
    • Input data about the mining equipment you plan to use, including their availability, capacity, and maintenance schedules. Assign resources to various tasks within the mine plan.
  6. Optimize Scheduling:
    • Use GEOVIA MineSched’s scheduling algorithms to optimize the mine plan. The software will help you determine the most efficient way to extract ore while adhering to constraints.
  7. Evaluate Economic Parameters:
    • Calculate the economic viability of the mine plan by considering factors like production costs, ore grades, commodity prices, and revenue projections. GEOVIA MineSched can provide financial modeling tools to assist with this.
  8. Visualize and Analyze Results:
    • Review and visualize the mine plan results using various charts, graphs, and 3D models. Analyze the schedule’s performance against your objectives and constraints.
  9. Scenario Analysis:
    • GEOVIA MineSched allows you to create and compare multiple scenarios to evaluate different strategies, equipment configurations, or variations in the mine plan.
  10. Generate Reports and Documentation:
    • Create comprehensive reports and documentation to communicate the mine plan to stakeholders, management, and regulatory bodies.
  11. Implement and Monitor:
    • Once a mine plan is finalized, it needs to be implemented on the ground. Monitor the actual mining operations and regularly update the plan to account for changes and unforeseen circumstances.
  12. Continual Optimization:
    • Continuously refine and optimize the mine plan as new data becomes available, technology evolves, and market conditions change.

What is the life of mine plan?

The Life of Mine Plan (LOMP) is the officially sanctioned long-term strategy for a mine, chosen after conducting a Strategic Options Analysis (SOA), and recognized as the optimal path for achieving corporate objectives. It forms the basis for developing shorter-term plans.

What is a mine plan?

A Mine Plan is a comprehensive outline of the mine and its operations, aimed at maximizing ROI. It encompasses capital investment, design, extraction scheduling, and mineral product preparation to meet mineral specifications.

What is mine production scheduling?

The challenge of open pit mine production scheduling (OPMPSP) involves planning the extraction of materials from a mineral deposit across multiple time periods. The objective is to maximize the operation’s profit while ensuring compliance with various operational constraints, aligning with the mine’s strategic plans. This typically involves the utilization of specialized mining software, often incorporating block model techniques, to optimize the scheduling process, benefiting both the operation and its users.
