Mine Design Optimization Software

NPV-Driven Pit and Phase Optimization

Generate ultimate pit limits and nested shells optimized for net present value. Test price scenarios, cutoff grades, and slope angle sensitivities in minutes.

K-MINE pit optimization generates ultimate pit limits and nested revenue-factor shells using Lerchs-Grossmann algorithms, identifying the extraction boundary that maximizes project net present value. Test commodity price scenarios, cutoff grade strategies, and geotechnical slope angle variations in minutes. Compare nested shell results across parameter sets, select optimal phase boundaries, and export directly to detailed pit design and scheduling modules.

PseudoFlow Algorithm

Fast pit optimization based on Lerchs-Grossmann methodology for ultimate pit limit determination.

Nested Pit Shells

Generate shell sequences by varying revenue factors for strategic planning and phase design.

Pushback Generation

Create mining phases automatically by NPV optimization or manually combine shells into sequences.

Slope Constraints

Define slope angles by sector to match geotechnical requirements across different pit areas.

Sensitivity Analysis

Test pit economics against price, cost, recovery, and slope angle scenarios to evaluate risk.

Design Comparison

Evaluate optimized shells against existing designs with tonnage, strip ratio, and revenue metrics.
