BLOCK MODELLING
Block Model Preparation
The block modelling service entails a variety of elements including validation of data, assigning mining classes, up-blocking of geological resource models into mining models, recon with original resource models, block model reporting, preparing models for Whittle, et al.
OPEN PIT MINE DESIGN
Detail Mine Designs
Utilising the selected Whittle pit shell as foundation, state-of-the-art open pit mine design software is used to generate detailed practical pit and waste dump designs. Solids are also created from these designs to be used in the scheduling process.
UNDERGROUND MINE DESIGN
Detail Mine Designs
After running the Mine Shape Optimiser (MSO) package to generate stope designs/shapes, the development infrastructure is designed to supply adequate access from the stopes to the shafts.
PIT OPTIMISATION
Whittle Pit Optimisation
The pit optimisation service utilises Dassault Systemes' WHITTLE software package to accurately generate a range of nested pit shells so that the most economically viable pit be selected. A high-level NPV schedule is then run on the selection of ultimate & pushback shells to determine the value of the project.
UNDERGROUND SCHEDULING
Long, Medium and Short Term
This is the discipline mostly used by mines. The information from the block models are married to the mining stopes, development tunnels and haul road network, to generate a mining schedule. This step also includes insight into blending of surface stockpiles and plant outputs. The School of Rock generates practical and accurate mine schedules quickly and effectively, all the while ensuring clients can defend their mine plans with confidence.
