Industry Process Experience

Produce a range of mine and plant scenarios that maximize the project’s economic value and assess its robustness and reliability. It is versatile and can be used over a mixture of mining methods, including surface, underground, and caving mines.

Key objectives include visualizing all possible options of investment scenarios in the Hill of Value and optimizing the use of the plant as from a correct selection of mine capacity and cut-off grade. By incorporating price uncertainty, risk can be minimized, making production more robust in the face of changing market cycles.

Roles

  • Earth Engineering Coordinator (ETC-OC)

    Benefits:

    • Manage structured and unstructured geoscience information in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
    • Unify the referential (Boreholes, geology model, aquifer…) underpinning the single source of truth for infrastructure development.
    • Collaborate seamlessly for informed and coordinated decision making to accelerate multi-disciplinary convergence.
    • Drive shared and 360° insight of geoscience for de-risked and cost-effective infrastructure development.
    • Streamline geoscience information integration with design and simulation downstream processes.

    Highlights:

    • Ingest and visualizes geoscience assets agnostic to source data format and geometry type.
    • Explore immersive environment through specialized navigation experience for subsurface capital project.
    • Track the relationship between raw data and interpretation.
    • Federate and structures geoscience assets under the unified referential with infrastructure engineering models.
  • Strategic Mine Planner (MISMP-OC)

    Benefits:
