Grade control is an integral part of both open pit and underground mining operations. Monitoring ore quality while controlling the grade and variability of a deposit is essential for mining companies to maintain accurate grade information. This helps determine mine plans, resource deployment, and ultimately, the mine’s return on investment.

Article

A platform such as 3DEXPERIENCE which supports the retention of knowledge through revisions, issue management and requirement management means mining companies can see a history of how they arrived at a given decision to change the estimation parameters for a resource model or the equipment requirements for pit optimisation, according to Barlow. It means this specific domain knowledge becomes instead part of the company library of knowledge.

Implicit modelling is a process where a continuous mathematical representation of an attribute is determined across a volume. This approach requires minimal interaction from the geologist and the computational calculations drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to perform the modelling. This approach means model generation can typically be completed in seconds or minutes. This is an improvement across orders of magnitude when compared to explicit modeling methods applied to identical data.

Article

However, while today’s big data and advanced technology can help geologists generate more accurate models than ever before, there are still challenges to overcome in using all that data and technology successfully. Fortunately, there are also solutions.

Article

In order to supply demand, the mining industry must discover more copper deposits, increase inventory, and accelerate production. The challenge lies in developing mines quickly while adhering to ESG norms, environmental regulations, and community stakeholder buy-in. Integrating technology across the mining value chain can reduce uncertainty and expedite this process.

Article

The good news is that advances in data acquisition technologies mean that a whole new world of soft data – from downhole geophysics, multi- and hyper-spectral core scanning, and more routine collection of geometallurgical parameters – is now available to inform and enhance resource modelling and estimation.

The bottom line is that a centralised system deployed either on premises or on cloud would make the execution of the company’s Disaster Recovery Plan way more straightforward compared with decentralised systems.

GEOVIA Urban Planning solutions allow the creation of a comprehensive virtual twin within a single platform, seamlessly integrating both open-source and private BIM data. By reconciling 2D and 3D data, converting vector data into 3D, and georeferencing 3D designs, these solutions go far beyond basic visualizations. They offer advanced spatial analysis capabilities, enabling real estate developers and planners to assess site viability, evaluate environmental impacts, and simulate various scenarios effectively.

Article

Block caving requires a very large deposit, with sufficient height and footprint area, to be cost effective. It should also ideally include certain geotechnical characteristics, such as pre-existing rock fractures to speed fragmentation and enough rock mass strength to support extraction tunnels.

Article

Relying on Dassault Systèmes’ Delmia production simulation tool, which can create 3D models of specific, discrete events, the company developed thousands of scenarios to visualise how equipment would move and interact under various mine designs.

Article

Using Dassault Systèmes’ parametric design tool, which enables mines to virtually create, update, and analyse a design within their own operating environment, the copper company’s designer used a number of different inputs to accommodate larger LHDs.

Article

To make integration simple, Process Composer eliminates the need for a designer to manually transfer the parameters and results from the parametric design into a mine planning package. Instead, it works with PCBC to handle the output variables of the design as input variables for the mine plan, allowing for an automated workflow throughout the entire mine planning process and between multiple applications/software.
