As the capital investment for open pit projects becomes more difficult to obtain, focus is placed on improving the strategic plan to maximize the project’s value and return on investment.  Applying this focus during the early stages of evaluation often yields dramatic changes to the overall project scope.  Currently, many mines use GEOVIA Whittle to produce economic pit shells based upon the Lerchs-Grossman algorithm and then manually craft a mining sequence from those potential pushbacks.

This presentation will outline how GEOVIA Whittle SIMO can be used to produce a better strategic schedule and extract greater value from the project. The key to this added value is to simultaneously optimize the most critical components of the schedule: mining sequence, stockpiling strategy, and processing cut-off grade.

In addition, we will also examine the benefits of rapid, multi-scenario analysis of a wide variety of potential options or future economic conditions on the project’s viability by using SIMULIA Isight in conjunction with Whittle.
