Maximize your underground mine's NPV with strategic planning decisions

Create mathematically optimal underground mine plans that maximize NPV, factoring in development and production tasks, geological constraints, equipment availability, ore grades, and financial targets.

Maximize NPV

Determine the true economic extent of the ore body to maximize the value of your mineral reserves.
Run-once global optimization to re-prioritize your mining sequence.
Co-ordinate between single or multi-mine complexes and processing assets.

Understand economic potential over time

Assess how parameters such as cut-off grades and production limits impact NPV.
Understand the return on investment and timing of major capital decisions.
Run sensitivity analyses on financial cost and revenue models.

Identify bottlenecks through value optimization

Identify where the operational constraints exist and perform cost-benefit analyses on releasing them.
Determine the unconstrained potential of the mine plan.
Rapidly iterate the reserving process by identifying key constraints.

Manage large and complex models with ease

Set user configurable objectives to optimize complex schedules.
Easily export mining tasks and their dependencies, mining constraints and resource assumptions from Deswik Planning.
Manage complex networks, blending and processing rules.

Run what-if scenarios

Run and analyse multiple scenarios in parallel.
Replan existing scenarios with ease.
Compare scenarios inputs, KPIs and ouputs to understand where value is created and lost.

Cloud-based data and compute

Leverages cloud services to scale compute for large mining complexes.
Solve scenarios in parallel.
Enable collaboration across planning teams.
