What phases are covered by the GEOVIA Mine Planning and Design solution?

The Mine Planning and Design scope generally covers the phase between resource characterization and operations. In practice, this includes:• Exploration & Resource Definition: validation and resource modeling (drillhole data, block models)• Mine Design: open pit design, underground design (stopes, drives, shafts), ramp design• Scheduling: development of strategic, tactical and operational mine schedules• Operational Planning: detailed sequencing, flow optimization, integration with production

Mine Planning & Design

A Unified Approach to Mine Planning and Design

GEOVIA Mine Planning and Design is a game-changing solution that enables mining teams to turn geological data into actionable, value-optimized mine plans. By integrating geology, engineering, scheduling and sustainability in a single environment, it maximizes financial returns, reduces risks and supports responsible resource management.

By unifying geological, geotechnical and economic data, the solution transforms complex information into actionable mine plans from pit shells to underground layouts and life-of-mine schedules. Direct block scheduling and advanced algorithms optimize mining sequences and NPV while parametric design and automatic synchronization convert these plans into safe, executable schedules that drive efficient and responsible operations.

Partly supported by the cloud-based 3DEXPERIENCE platform, teams can work together more easily, make faster decisions and monitor both financial and ESG performance to build mine plans that are profitable, resilient and responsible.
