MiningMath 3.0.35: Unified Open-Pit Mine Planning & Optimization Software

MiningMath 3.0.35 is a pioneering software solution that redefines strategic open-pit mine planning through technical innovation. For decades, conventional planning software has forced engineers through a sequential process that risked compromising project value. MiningMath’s single-step optimization engine disrupts this paradigm, replacing fragmented workflows with a unified, data-driven system that delivers globally optimized solutions in a single run .

Unlike traditional methodologies that lock in suboptimal decisions early—such as nested pits or pushbacks—MiningMath’s algorithm simultaneously optimizes mine envelopes, ore destinations, block sequences, and NPV. This provides users with a global view of trade-offs, enabling more creative mining sequences that, according to user feedback, can increase NPV by up to 68% compared to conventional planning methods.
