ORElogy personnel have considerable mine planning experience and high level competency in evORElution, MINESIGHT, WHITTLE, XPAC, TALPAC, SURPAC and MINESCHED software, along with expert scripting and programming skills.

As a result ORElogy can develop comprehensive mine planning systems and procedures tailor made to the specific requirements of the client. This can be involve strategic life-of-mine planning for multiple working areas to short term planning for individual open pits.

Mine scheduling systems and procedures can focus on a number of often conflicting requirements such as:

• Maximising project cash-flow and / or Net Present Value (NPV)
• Maximising resource utilisation
• Minimising operating costs / fleet size

These requirements can in turn be constrained by various factors such as:

• A specific mine life, mine productivity or mill feed requirement
• constrained by specific operating areas, periods, methodology etc.
• Other strategic or corporate considerations

It is important that the solution be workable and user-friendly.  It should produce achievable results within practical operating constraints while conforming to long term company strategies and goals. It must also provide output of both a detailed and a summary nature to cater for a range of downstream “customers”.

ORElogy do not limit training to simply “driving the software” but ensure that a solid grounding in strategic mine planning concepts and a global understanding of planning goals and objectives is presented. ORElogy will also include comprehensive documentation with their training and implementation
