COST MODELING

Model Building and Training

With extensive experience in cost modeling, and a power user of XERAS, Underground Cost Modeling, training and coaching is a core service of Underground Mining Solutions.

STRATEGIC MINE PLAN OPTIMIZATION

Maximizing your Mine's Value

From innovative and alternative mining methods, through to Hill of Value analysis, marginal project can become economic and economic ones can become lucrative.  True strategic mine optimization is far from easy, but can have tremendous economic benefit.

DESIGN AND SCHEDULE

Optimal Mine Planning

A well designed mine and thought out schedule, can have significant impacts to the economics of a Project.  With strong experience in both technical and operational aspects of underground mining, "non-conventional" solutions that are also realistic, can be proposed and explored.

VENTILATION MODELING

Ventilation Design &/or Improvement

With a solid and practical knowledge of mine ventilation, work with us to explore innovative solutions that can be tested and verified.

PUMP & PIPE DESIGN MODELING

Optimal Pump & Pipe Design

Underground pumping and piping is an aspect that is often ignored in mining engineering.  Allow us to compile a practical plan that will save money and heartache.

HAULAGE SIMULATION

Haulage Limitations and Optimization

Optimizing the decline size, and subsequently the truck size, is a study that is seldom undertaken, yet has tremendous impacts to the life of mine costs.  Optimizing the exploration decline size, with respect to future haulage requirements, may well be one of the "lowest hanging fruits" of cost minimization, that is often ignored.
