Strategic scheduling with Evolution Strategy
Integrated, Fast, and Flexible!

 

Know where, and when, to mine with strategic mine scheduling

Harness the power of cloud processing, multi-objective optimization, and compelling visualization tools to create your optimal mid- and long-term schedules.

What is it?

Evolution Strategy is a strategic mine planning and optimization tool for running scenarios based on cut-off grade optimization and sequencing to maximize NPV.

Current Challenge

These days it is essential to build and evaluate a variety of mine scenarios to ensure you provide the best value to shareholders.

In strategic scheduling, you know it can be hard to evaluate numerous meaningful scenarios in a short amount of time. It can be even more frustrating if management asks you to evaluate 5 to 6 new scheduling scenarios after you have already poured your heart and soul into the 3 or 4 you have just presented them.

In times of market uncertainty, it can be difficult to know how to strategize your assets.

Because of time management problems in block modeling or phase design, the mine scheduler is almost always faced with a shortage of time.

Solution

Strategic mine schedulers need fast and flexible tools to forecast price, optimize NPV, and provide tactical planners with cut-off grade strategy.

Maptek has developed Evolution Strategy a scheduling solution that combines the power of cloud processing, a proprietary meta-heuristic genetic algorithm, multi-objective optimization, and compelling visualization tools to help planners create optimized schedules within practical mining constraints that can be effectively communicated to both the boardroom and operations.
