Maptek resource tracking is revolutionising operations at an iron ore mine in South Africa through real-time reconciliation of material quantity and quality.

A gold mine in Tanzania has found that Maptek Evolution Epoch is ideal for optimising resources and enhancing productivity as part of its short-term planning strategy.

Maptek Vulcan and BlastLogic software systems are being used effectively in Mongolia to streamline planning and optimise blasting operations.

Maptek BlastMCF revolutionises blast design for surface operations, generating scenarios that consider competing objectives while engineers retain fine control.

Tackling mine production scheduling with its inherent uncertainty, ambiguity and changing constraints is an ideal challenge for evolutionary computing.

Researchers participating in the Maptek co-sponsored Integrated Mining Consortium that wrapped up in August 2024 reflect on their experience and achievements.
