This practical online session explores the latest mine planning capabilities in K-MINE from polymetallic open-pit optimization and ultimate pit design to long-term scheduling and detailed weekly plans. Live demonstrations introduce genetic algorithms for long-term mine scheduling and a new short-term planning module, alongside automated data preparation and schedule analysis. The session shows how these tools connect strategic planning with day-to-day mining operations.
Session Agenda
- Polymetallic open-pit optimization: five components in a single block model
- Selecting the optimal pit shell using weighted criteria
- A live demonstration of dynamic ultimate pit design
- For the first time in K-MINE: genetic algorithms for long-term mine scheduling, from annual plans to life-of-mine (LOM), with and without pushbacks
- Evaluating the long-term mine schedule
- A new short-term planning module: from weekly to annual schedules
- Automated data preparation: solid slicing and mining precedence relationships
- Analyzing the short-term mine schedule
Who Should Attend
Mining engineers, mine planning and design specialists, mining operations managers, technical directors, and anyone involved in open-pit optimization, pit design, or long-term and short-term mine scheduling.
Session Format
The session will be conducted online, lasting two hours, and requires advance registration. Participants will benefit from live demonstrations and a Q&A segment. Please note that session recordings will not be publicly available afterward. A certificate of attendance will be provided to all participants.
Participation Guidelines
Register early, as places are limited. Bring questions and, if possible, examples of your current mine planning challenges pit shell selection, long-term scheduling, data preparation, or weekly planning workflows you’d like to discuss. A stable internet connection is recommended for the live demonstrations.
