Capabilities

From geology to the mine plan.

The whole workflow, and the small jobs between. Geological data, project criteria, design, sequencing, scheduling and reporting in your existing software.

01 · design

Design, then change what matters.

Mine design, development, declines, stopes and stope optimisation. Build a design or change selected areas without starting the whole mine again.

Example prompt“Change the development on these levels.”

02 · scheduling

Turn the design into a workable schedule.

IS and scheduling: production fields, dependencies, priorities, resources, constraints and levelling. Work through the connected plan in your existing software.

Example prompt“Update the production fields, change the priorities and re-level the schedule.”

03 · caving

Plan caving from footprint to development.

Block-cave and sublevel-cave planning. Compare footprints, develop extraction layouts and work through the development.

Example prompt“Build the extraction layout from this footprint.”

04 · geology

Work through the model, not around it.

Block model editing and interrogation, geology workflows, attributes and analysis. Use the model to evaluate the design and compare trade-off studies.

Example prompt“Interrogate these solids against the updated block model.”

05 · Everyday work

The work between the big decisions.

Reorganise layers, apply filters, set legends, write attributes and produce reports. Clear the repetitive work without stepping through every dialog.

Example prompt“Reorganise these layers and apply the grade legend.”

06 · ventilation

Understand the air and heat underground.

Airflow estimation and heat simulations with Bergbau’s own ventilation engine. Ventilation modelling sits alongside the rest of the mine plan.

Example prompt“Estimate airflow and simulate heat through this network.”

07 · criteria and trade-offs

Work to your project basis.

Read criteria, costs, rates and profiles from your workbook or study documents. Derive cut-offs, compare pit and underground cases, and save the agreed basis with the project for later work.

Prompt“Use this workbook to set our criteria and compare the pit depths against the underground inventory.”

08 · access and materials handling

Connect the mine, not just the levels.

Compare truck and conveyor concepts, shared handling and crusher locations. Develop the orepasses, haul roads, conveyor flights and access connections to the selected arrangement and criteria.

Prompt“Compare these handling arrangements, then connect the selected crusher to the orepasses and surface.”

09 · design to sequence

Give the plan its mining logic.

Set up Deswik.IS, attribute the design, build and interrogate activities, and define production cycles. Apply development and production dependencies, check the sequence and save the rules so it can be rebuilt after design changes.

Prompt“Build tasks from this design and sequence production after its serving development.”

10 · reporting and auditing

Read back what the plan delivers.

Build native production and cost reports, reconcile monthly, annual and mine totals, and export to Excel. Review model inputs, geometry, dependencies and calculation logs; compare cases and explain what controls the result.

Prompt“Check this schedule, reconcile the reports and export annual tonnes, weighted grades and costs to Excel.”
