Mine Planning
The mine planning and design features available in GEMS support both open pit and underground operations. With key processes linked together through the GEMS database, mine plans can be kept up-to-date more accurately based on ever-changing information.
- Design mine plans to meet your volumetric and grade objectives.
- Use long-term planning tools to set mining targets and test scenarios to determine the best way to mine over multiple working periods.
- Reconcile performance by comparing planned mining activities to actual performance and progress.
- Control daily production with always up-to-date survey and grade control data.
- Use GEMS Go Simulator to ensure that your plan is practical to mine by simulating mining with equipment fleets.
- Run volumetrics to determine and report reserve depletion.
- Depend on the Drillhole Excavation Warning System to help you identify potential hazards.
Open Pit Tools
- Interface seamlessly with Gemcom Whittle™ to optimise pit designs and pushbacks.
- Specify blast pattern layouts and control drilling depth by setting predefined surfaces, then place hole collars onto existing surfaces for elevation control.
Underground Tools
- Automate the tunnel design process by turning centre lines you define into complete tunnels with safety bays and filleted intersections.
- Create comprehensive stope designs and determine volumes, dilution and mineable reserves.
- Ensure your designs are accurate and up-to-date by using a blast ring
design tool integrated with stope design and 3D solids modelling.
