Today, more than ever before, mining engineers and mine managers rely on digital data and processing to accomplish their day-to-day tasks. Targeting improved usability, the Micromine 2016 Mining module has been designed specifically for mining engineers, providing powerful and intuitive tools for planning and designing surface and underground mines.
Surface Operations
Surface mine engineers benefit from Micromine Mining’s intuitive tools for designing an open pit using variable geotechnical parameters; converting between overall slope angle and batter angles/berm widths; and designing haul roads, slot ramps, switchbacks and cutbacks.
Underground Operations
Underground mine engineers benefit from Micromine Mining’s integrated suite of CAD tools for carrying out mine layout design; drafting underground drives, rises, shafts, declines and inclines; and stope design and ring design, including drill fans, charging, stemming and volume calculations.
Micromine Technical Product Manager Frank Bilki said a lot of work had gone into the development of the latest version of the Mining module. “We are really excited about these latest enhancements to the mining module, it will provide users with a toolkit to plan and design their mine with confidence. We feel that our clients will benefit greatly from these upgrades.”
