The Specialist Mining Simulation & Optimisation Software

Transforms your static mine design and makes it intelligent and dynamic. It is not only for mine development – it is designed for complete end-to-end mining operations.

Make Your Mine Intelligent & Dynamic

Optimise your production and development fleet requirements and scheduling of underground development, and make sure your development project is completed on time and within budget.

Designed for anyone involved in mine design and planning, operations, and management, SimMine is a unique mine simulator that can directly import your mine layout to evaluate development rates and production plans.

Development

Orebody
Access

Mine Production

Stoping, Caving
Operations

Equipment Optimisation

LHDs, Trucks, Conveyors, Bins/Silos, Crushers

Visualise your mine with powerful 3D animations that are already coded in the software, displaying mine development sequences, equipment fleet movement and dynamic mining progress.

Benefits

Optimise costs and schedules

Analyse projects costs and resources schedules and optimise the equipment maintenance schedule

Test Alternative Scenarios

Test alternative scenarios to optimise development plan and maximise rates (e.g. additional trackless equipment, operators, alternative shifts, etc.)

Capture the effect of variation

Dynamic simulation is the only tool that can capture the effect of variation (e.g. activity times), equipment interference and queuing and randomness

Find optimal capacity requirements & schedules

Find the optimal equipment fleet size and procurement schedule, ore handling system capacity and shift schedule

Case Studies

Portal to Steady State - Effectively evaluating project goals using SimMine® mining simulation software

The model was developed to accurately establish achievable development rates, production rates, optimal development sequence, and fleet size required to ensure that the LHOS project targets are met.

Mine access development simulation through direct mine design data integration

The objective of this case study is to compare various access development options and technology trade-offs for developing the underground infrastructure from the mine portals to the start of the production development sections.

SimMine vs Generic Simulation Software
