Expanded GSF
200 pits!

Series/AutoP/Starter pit

MSVALP
Series/Worst Scheduling

MSEP expanded GSF

200 pits!

Additional items

Complex slopes Continues to support current slopes Soon to allow more slope detail

No need for multiple GSF files Easily create GSF using procedure p60110.dat Support for old GSF files

More TOPO items TOPO1TOPO5 More Area items AREA1AREA5 More slope estimate items

MSOPITCreating a series of pits

Design a series of pits Determine the ultimate pit limit Develop phases for scheduling
Multi-Run using BASE option

OPTIONS

BASE option for selected areas MULTP limit pushback size MULTV vary value MULTZ vary bottom elevation AUTOP pushbacks limited by face angle BASE - option with vary prices feature Starter pit for AUTOP and MULTP options

BASE option with vary price feature

Scheduling with economic sequential pits

THE GAP

Scheduling with economic sequential pits

360 degree mining

AutoP More realistic phase design

Create pits in a preferred direction

Create a series of non-concentric pit shells

Targets high grade material

Honors maximum mining width

Fixes the gap issue

AutoP How it works

Mineable area divided into 15 horizontal sectors Each sector evaluated based on mining arc angle range Economics calculated for each sector Sector economics weighted by factor (0-10) Factor could change mining direction

AUTOP series of pits

New MSOPIT Starter pit option

AutoP MultP Options

MSVALP enhancements - Scheduling

Standard run
Base Constant cutoff Best

Worst
No phases or COG optimization used Mines each pit independently top down

Base
Schedules pits sequentially ending with each pit No COG optimization used

Best
Schedules pits sequentially ending with each pit COG optimization used

SUM files for series options

Schedule by period for each pit

PIVSUM creates a pivoted file by pit
