• It uses leading-edge optimization technology to
  optimize the NPV of mines.
• It is unique in its ability to handle blending
  constraint and manage Intermediate stockpile
  while optimising NPV.
• Scheduler able to plan strategically for the
  future, yet quickly respond to the day to day
  changes of a competitive business environment.

Planner brings together the technologies of
optimization and 3-D interactive visualization to
provide a mining engineer with a user-friendly,
fast tool for determining optimal pits and
performing strategic analysis

• iGantt is a tool for open-pit and underground
  production scheduling that integrates Gantt
  chart, 3D visualization and spreadsheet views of
  a production schedule.
• iGantt can be used for scheduling a single
  operation or multiple operations across an
  enterprise.

Stockpiling Module

• Automatically compute stockpile runs
• Splits out defined products
• View composition of stockpile as you schedule
  mining production

17

• Combination of equipment scheduling with
  stockpile
• run management
• Match stockpile completions to production
  requirements

Stockpiles are grouped according to type, each of
which is linked to an individual quantity
attribute and Capacity.
