Micromine 2020 focuses on usability and additional functionality across the mining value chain to increase productivity and cost efficiencies, adding more value than ever to our clients.
Development of a new Stope Optimisation tool in Micromine for underground mine design and planning
Upgrades to existing Implicit Modelling functionality and the addition of new Implicit Modelling tools for Geological Modelling
Significant upgrades and new functionality to the existing Micromine Scheduler for Mining Engineers
Multiple new statistical chart and analysis functionality for Geologists
Significant enhancements to the Ring Design Tool for Underground Engineers
Simplification of the user interface for greater clarity and usability
Generates best possible stope outlines that satisfy design and economic parameters
Generates optimum digline for open-pit bench to suit minimum mining width
Determines maximum possible profit for underground mining operation
Full support for standard long-term planning methodology with provision for mining, processing and sales rates, startup costs, capital injections and discounted cash flow analysis to assist in optimizing size of operation based on net present value
Suitable for all planning horizons
Seamless integration with Micromine, with full support from new Expression Editor and unit conversion facilities
Enhancements
Built-in material flow model with support for material bins
Material bins defined using simple filters or complex expressions
Optimisation values for blocks calculated externally and preassigned to blocks, or derived from built-in material flow model
Support for zones defined by polygons/wireframes to which stopes should be confined, or from which they should be excluded
Support for multiple regions with different design parameters
Accepts sizes and orientations of minimum stopes, and minimum pillar width
Minimum stope sizes can be overlapped to form larger mining areas that satisfy minimum mineable shape
Stopes can be constrained to planes, digital terrain models and centerline strings – with option to anchor planes and digital terrain models to reference point and replicate at regular elevation intervals
Uses integrated mathematical programming solver to determine optimum solution
Exports stope wireframes and/or coordinates of blocks comprising optimum solution
Full suite of reports to facilitate post-processing and analysis of all input parameters, block processing outcomes and generated stopes
Reports can be customised, summarised and have unit conversions applied using new Report Generator, and are suitable for use with pivot tables and other post-processing in Microsoft Excel and Business Intelligence software
Fully compatible with Micromine Pit Optimiser, including many common form sets. Since both share same concepts and work flow, if you can use one, you can use both
Key New Features
Implicit Modelling makes domain modelling 100x faster than manual sectional modelling
Its repeatable, using the same data and parameters will generate the same model
It is easy to rerun when new data becomes available
Integrated with our standard wireframing tools so models can be manipulated after creation allowing for more complex models to be generated
Enhancements
Can model veins and dykes
Can model surfaces such as contacts and faults
Can model intrusive shapes
Can model grade values
Can utilise complex trend models to better define the model
