Here are some key features of “Minex” GEOVIA Minex:
Graphics: Sophisticated and powerful 3D modeling environment.
Plotting: Create, preview, annotate and print user-defined plan and section plots from grids, triangles and boreholes.
Surface Modeling: Create triangles and grids and calculate volumes.
CAD Tools: Create and work with point and line data.
Seam Modeling: Load boreholes from ASCII, ODBC or acQuire™. Interpolate missing data and automatic generation of multiple seam grids. Resource classification and calculations (quality, depth, thickness and distance).
Coal Washability: Store coal wash data based on wash density and particle sizing. Accumulate data
Fault Modeling: Comprehensive fault modeling tool that handles reverse and normal faulting.
Dump Scheduling and Haulage Planning: Design waste dumps and haul roads, schedule the dumping of waste, calculate haulage cycle times, and report on all aspects of the waste removal and haulage process.
Reserves: Design pits with strip and block divisions and generate reserves from a seam model. Adjust the reserves for mining dilution, seam combining and seam wasting by thickness.
Pit Optimizer: Use industry standard Lerchs Grossmann algorithm to generate optimum pits from an unfaulted or faulted Minex geological model.
Open Pit Drill and Blast: Layout blasthole patterns.
Open Pit Surveying: Connect to survey instruments to collect and manage topography data.
Open Pit Earth Works: Design dumps and roads and rehabilitate dumps using cross sections.
Spoil Reshaper: Reshape dump surfaces to minimize dozer push distance.
Open Pit Scheduling: Schedule an open pit mine using simple targeting or detailed equipment scheduling.
Underground Engineering: Create detailed underground mine designs and schedules using a set of rich and interactive tools that provide instant visualization of your design as it unfolds. Enhanced underground mine scheduling using a set of tools that are integrated with the mine design and reserves database.
