Features and Benefits

Minemax Planner offers a full range of features that make it the solution of choicefor rapid pit optimization and high-level strategic planning

About Minemax

Minemax specializes in mine planning and scheduling solutions. Covering the whole spectrum from strategic to operational mine

planning, we help mining companies achieve production requirements, maximize resource utilization, and optimize business value.

Minemax has been recognised as a product innovator since 1996. Our solutions, including Minemax Planner, Minemax Scheduler,

iGantt and Tempo, were developed with the vision that mining companies should have access to easy-to-use software applications

for creating practical and economically optimal plans.

Our software is now used in over 35 countries by companies including Anglo, Barrick, BHP Billiton, Freeport, Newmont, Rio Tinto,

Vale and Xstrata, making us a leading vendor in the market for planning and scheduling systems.

Features Benefits

Very fast pit optimization using modernand efficient max-flow algorithm

Gives the same pit shells as LG-based optimizers, but in a fraction of the time

Provides you with more time for scenario analysis and project decision making

Extremely easy-to-use user interfacewith step-by-step workflows

A wider range of people are able to do high-level project analysis

Linear progression through workflow steps produces results for analysis quickly and easily

Pre-defined workflows for each project type virtually eliminates set-up time: ultimate pit,pit shells, pushbacks and schedule

Large model capabilitieswith 64-bit optimization

Get even more value out of your projects by optimizing on smaller block sizes

Easily handles tens of millions of blocks on computers with sufficient memory

Save even more time in pit optimization of large models compared with LG optimizers

High-performance 3D visualization Slice and dice through pit shells, pushbacks and annual face positions for immediate validationof mining practicality

DXF and block-level integration to mine design packages for detailed pit design

Pre-defined charts and tabular reportsfor pit shells, pushbacks and schedules,

showing tonnes, grade and project value

Instant access charts for rapid analysis of project economics

Quickly understand sensitivity to metal prices

Gain insight into risk associated with project size

Pushback generation withminimum mining width

Automatic combination of pit shells into pushbacks enables seamless flow from pit shellgeneration to schedule optimization

Ensure subsequent schedules are not only optimal but practically mineable

NPV schedule optimization Quickly determine optimal project value in the context of operational miningand processing constraints

Understand the sensitivity to mining and processing infrastructure alternatives

Integration from block model throughpit optimization, nested shells andpushbacks to NPV optimal schedules

Single tool analysis reduces potential errors rising from import and export betweendifferent tools
