Mining

In today's Tips & Tricks we highlight an option that makes MinePlan Schedule Optimizer (MPSO) even better: Process Point. A new type of target that enables sequencing that takes into account operational details of your mine. This excellent resource is already being used with excellence and obtaining significant operational and economic results here in Brazil for nickel and bauxite operations, according to the process flowchart below: throughout the mining and beneficiation process are determined “a priori”. In a simple example, in the traditional flow, if a material to be mined undergoes changes in mass and grade due to recovery in mining and dilution, these changes are introduced in the resources in the form of factors that affect the entire…

MinePlan Activity Scheduler: Activity Path – Automatic Activity Creation Have you ever imagined being able to automatically create sequential activities in Atlas by scanning just one path in the MP3D Viewer and dividing it into feed cuts? This is possible using the Activity Path option, present on the Insert tab. In this option you will find functions that allow you to adjust the widths of cuts along the feed line, specify the total number of activities created, determine how the cuts will be joined and much more. Using the “Clip” options, the new activities created can be limited by the existing activities and also by a predefined area or mining limit, thus avoiding the overlapping of activities. Another option that can be used after creating the cuts is the Surface Set, which automatically transforms the polygons into solids coincident with the…
