Mine planning concentrates on long-range production planning aimed at maximising the value derived from exploiting an ore deposit. However, by its very nature, because it is long-term, a mine plan can be affected by a variety of internal and external forces including, for example, increased knowledge of the orebody, unexpected staffing issues, technical advancements ,and changes in legislation, economy, and market.

Machine learning is a branch of AI that uses data and algorithms to learn the way humans learn: by doing a task over and over and using our experience of doing that task to become better at it.

The mining industry is on the cusp of a digital revolution. GEOVIA, a company with a long history in 3D design and geological modeling, is at the forefront of this change. By leveraging the power of parametric design and virtual twins, GEOVIA is helping mines operate more efficiently and sustainably. Company CEO, Mauro DELLEMONACHE explains how this technology is transforming the way mines operate, from reducing environmental impact to optimizing resource extraction.

he mining value chain is a complex set of interlinked processes that involves many stakeholders from many different disciplines. To enable business transformation, it is paramount to approach the challenge from a standpoint that allows one to connect and interact in real (or near-real) time with people, processes, and technologies that make this chain of interlinked systems.

Using Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform miners can simulate diverse scenarios. Virtual twin technologies help test differing parameters and their influence on pit-optimized designs using generative design tools. Ultimately, the 3DEXPERIENCE platform helps extensively test different theories and operational strategies to assess their impact on project value.

The platform integrates and automates mining processes, dismantles silos and enables executives to focus on higher-value areas and optimized geotechnical, economic, productivity and ESG parameters. The optimization ensures positive cash flow or net present value (NPV) while adhering to sustainability and compliance goals.

A world-wide switch to electric vehicles is generally acknowledged as a fundamental component of decarbonisation. However, while demand for energy-dense batteries continues to soar, limited availability of the raw materials they require, such as lithium, nickel, and cobalt, is creating a major supply chain bottleneck — a bottleneck that threatens to impede their widespread adoption.

Article

Embedded algorithms supported by AI techniques then suggest decision options based on simulated scenarios that account for not only the primary process but also for the network of processes the equipment interacts with or influences. The idea is to constantly have a “finger on the pulse” of the operation to monitor, assess root causes, simulate possible scenarios, and propose corrective measures to keep the operation performing as best as possible under environmental (e.g., unexpected geology variations) and contextual variables (e.g., energy cost).

The latest advancements in the GEOVIA portfolio include the introduction of the Strategic Mine Planner Role in December 2023 and the launch of the Underground Mine Designer Role in February 2024 within the Dassault Systèmes 3DEXPERIENCE platform. And there is yet more to come as the company plans to release four additional roles on the 3DEXPERIENCE for the mining industry this year – the Geology Modeler, Geoscience Referential Manager, Earth Engineering Co-ordinator and Pit Optimizer Roles. The planned role-out promises to further enhance these two newly released roles as well as the established 3DEXPERIENCE.

Creating the optimal mine plan has been the cornerstone of reserve evaluation and development for years. But because planning takes a considerable amount of time and planners are working with estimations and forecasts, mine plans have always contained inherent inaccuracies and associated risk. This is a case study of the GEOVIA Strategic Mine Planner, which could reduce inaccuracy and create a mine plan that is better than optimal.

Article

One key area for improvement is technological integration. Many mine sites operate with legacy systems that are not easily compatible with newer automated technologies. Upgrading these systems with modern solutions like GEOVIA is an important step in moving toward automation. Ensuring seamless data flow across different systems and departments is also a challenge. Data silos can hinder the effectiveness of automation by limiting access to comprehensive, real-time information.

Dassault Systèmes, GEOVIA has created a new mine planning optimisation engine called GMX (GEOVIA Mine Maximizer). GMX is the solution engine available exclusively in the Strategic Mine Planner and Pit Optimizer roles available on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
