How K-MINE helps during
Development Stage
Detailed design and engineering
Development of detailed plans and specifications for the mining operation (mine design, plant design, infrastructure etc)
Development of construction stage which includes building the mine infrastructure, such as roads, processing plants, power supplies, and accommodations for the workforce
Planning of mining operations: strategic, calendar, operational
Calculation of the stability of the pit walls and dump tiers, etc.
The development stage is characterized by a wide variety of technological operations.
K-Mine can fully cover the needs of the user at this stage. You can easily and correctly implement any projects of your mining enterprise.
K-MINE is a stand-alone application that covers most operational needs in the mining industry. Leveraging capabilities such as 3D modeling, resource estimation, and equipment management, K-MINE is widely used by companies of different sizes for open pit and underground mining. Over 5,000 surveyors, geologists, mining engineers, designers, and technicians leverage K-MINE modules and their solutions on a daily basis.
