Where possible, we provide tailored client-specific features as well as regular software updates.
Integrated mining software system for mine planning
MineMap IMS is the world’s first fully integrated mining software system, giving mining professionals the flexibility to rapidly respond to changing conditions and make decisions using cutting-edge mining software features, including geological modelling, optimisation, mine design, scheduling and reconciliation.
With changes in professional staff, mining and exploration companies rely on MineMap software’s ease of use to ensure new users are operational quickly. To assist in this, MineMap provides basic online training free of charge.
The software is supplied as a complete system, as opposed to a modular basis, to ensure all aspects of a mine can be properly managed.
Mining decision making for geologists and engineers
IMS allows easy data validation and management, enabling geologists and engineers to:
- Improve geological modelling
- Improve ore resource and reserve calculations
- Develop more effective mine plans
- Make more informed decisions
- Improve compliance to regulations such as JORC, SAMREC and NI 43-101
To support this, the software features a range of enhanced tools, including:
- Data management
- Exploration functions – enhanced DHT (drill hole trajectory and management module)
- Geological modelling and optimisation functions
- Resource / reserve reporting
- Pit optimisations
- Mine design – open pit and underground
- Blast hole and ring design
- Scheduling
- Reconciliation
Modelling and mine planning for laminar and stratified ore deposits
Since its inception, MineMap software has been setting the standard in geological modelling and mine planning for laminar / stratified ore deposits, thus unlocking their true value.
Open pit optimisation using Lerch Grossman 3D algorithm
MineMap IMS is highly effective for open pit optimisation. It was the first software to develop a fully integrated Lerch Grossman 3D algorithm, Lerch, enabling companies to undertake multiple bankable feasibility studies rapidly and with ease.
Lerch allows rapid evaluation of optimal open pit configurations using the proven Lerch Grossman 3D algorithm, to consider final pit slopes, mining costs and production revenues.
Underground stope optimisation
IMS’ stope optimisation capabilities assist mining companies in getting the full value from their underground deposits.
Software for mine scheduling
IMS gives mine planners the ability to easily develop practical mine schedules for surface and underground operations, resulting in effective schedules that maximise productivity. Multiple scenarios can be developed rapidly, tested and adjusted.
Tailored client-specific mine software features
Where possible, MineMap offers software tailoring that is specific to our clients’ needs to assist them in reaching their corporate goals.
Mining sofware techical support, training and sales
Through its global network, MineMap provides 24/7 techical support, training and sales.
IMS helps geologists and engineers optimise their ore body, improve mine design and minimise ore dilution and ore loss, increasing profitability in today’s demanding business environment and at a cost far less than our competitors.
Haul road optimisation: open pit optimisation and design
The Lerch Grossman algorithm only provides an optimised shell, not a design. For this reason we have developed Express, an optimised haul road design.
Express determines the ultimate optimised cost-benefit solution to your haul road requirement from the bottom of the pit to the top, or interactively provides the best solution according to your design constraints.
It provides substantial cost savings, as the system provides the optimum road reserve as a CAD file, with a gridded pit surface for contouring and volumes. You can stop the road entering certain parts of the pit or force it to exit at preferred locations and from a preferred direction.
Express allows you to step back through lesser cost-effective solutions, thus providing sensitivity analysis on the road design. Express:
- Reads all types Lerch Grossman input files
- Interfaces with most mine planning packages
- Is written using the latest programming techniques with C++
- Operates on PCs running Microsoft Windows
