Underground Mining
Mine Access Development Simulation Through Direct Mine Design Data Integration
Mine development and tunnelling require significant investment. Optimised resource planning and scheduling of underground mine development can prove to be extremely valuable by ensuring the development project is completed on time and within budget. The objective of this case study is to compare various access development options and technology trade-offs for developing the underground infrastructure …

Portal to Steady State – Effectively evaluating project goals using SimMine® mining simulation software
Mine development, ramp-up, and production require significant investment. Optimised resource planning and scheduling of underground mining can prove to be extremely valuable by ensuring the project is completed on time and within budget. The model was developed to accurately establish achievable development rates, production rates, optimal development sequence, and fleet size required to ensure that …
