Overview

Hexagon's MinePlan OP Engineering Strategic is a comprehensive software package designed to equip engineers with the necessary tools to develop strategic-level mine plans suitable for scoping or feasibility studies. It features a modern, user-friendly interface that facilitates rapid pit optimizations using either the Lerchs-Grossmann (LG) or Pseudoflow algorithms. This integration enables the swift determination of the ultimate pit, incorporating best and worst-case scheduling scenarios, and the generation of detailed pit-by-pit reports. The package also includes robust case management tools, allowing users to analyze multiple potential scenarios during both the pit optimization and scheduling processes. Additionally, the software's pushback algorithm and scheduling processes enable the easy generation and evaluation of pushback and mining strategies. The final results can be detailed using MinePlan 3D CAD tools, such as the Pit Expansion Tool, which offers powerful functions to generate the ultimate pit based on pit optimization, geotechnical constraints, and other physical factors. Advanced Reporting and Charting features further enhance the ability to produce comprehensive, detailed reports.
