Request CDWhen exploration and mining companies need to evaluate the financial viability and the optimal mine strategy for a deposit, they turn to the industry leading strategic mine planning solution – Gemcom Whittle™. Companies depend on Whittle to help them determine their investment strategy and to deliver robust mine plans that maximise profitability by taking into account real mining constraints.

Whittle delivers trusted results and is used in scoping, feasibility, life-of-mine scheduling, and in the ongoing re-evaluation of mine plans throughout the production phase. Because pit optimisation alone is not enough to unlock the full economic potential of your operation, Whittle provides mine optimisation, which enables significant increases in project value over and above pit optimisation.
