Whittle 4.4, the latest release of the mining industry’s most popular strategic mine planning software, will enable you to improve your personal productivity and add new economic value to your projects. You will find new and refined capabilities including more controls for modelling mining constraints and the ability to optimise larger block models. To dramatically increase the NPV of your projects, you can add the new Simultaneous Optimisation module, which provides you with sophisticated, powerful algorithms that enable the processing of four optimisation mechanisms concurrently.
Achieve Greater NPV by Adding the New Simultaneous Optimisation Module
You can unlock greater NPV from your projects through the simultaneous optimisation of the mine schedule, cut-off grade, stockpiling, and blending. Simultaneous optimisation increases NPV because it allows for the consideration of the interaction between these critical aspects of mine planning.
- Maximise NPV by understanding where to mine, quantities, blend, and cut-offs required in each period.
- Ensure you always follow the right steps – Whittle’s workflows guide you through all the steps from pit optimisation, to push back selection, and finally to life of mine strategic scheduling.
- Configure four optimisation mechanisms in a single step and thereby reduce the complexity of configuring each of these mechanisms independently.
Learn about simultaneous optimisation and how it increases NPV by up to 25%. Watch a Webinar on Simultaneous Optimisation and an interview with strategic mine planning expert Gerald Whittle.
New and Updated Features Included in Your Whittle 4.4 Software
Model mining constraints more accurately with additional user controls
- Achieve more precise modelling of mine haulage limitations with new variable mining limit algorithms.
- Restrict mining in certain areas of the model by using simple and intuitive 2D shapes to limit the pit optimisation.
Optimise larger block models
- Whittle now supports greater than 999 blocks per dimension.
