Datamine Studio NPVS v3.0.373.0
Datamine Studio NPVS

This is comprehensive software for strategic planning of open pit mining operations. Planning engineers use it to develop optimal pit geometries and mining schedules for the entire life of the deposit with the aim of maximizing net present value (NPV) under specified economic and technical parameters.

Features include:
- preparation of input data and economic models;
- optimization of the pit boundary (e.g., using the Lerchs-Grossmann algorithm);
- generation of pushbacks (mining stages);
- optimization of the mining schedule (taking into account reserves, processing, waste, and constraints);
- analysis of transport and storage operations.

This is the main tool for strategic planning of open pit mining.

Datamine Studio Maxipit

This is a specialized module for determining optimal pit boundaries and mining sequence based on geology and economics.

Main tasks:
- finds the optimal pit boundaries and block mining sequence;
- uses optimization algorithms (e.g., Lerchs-Grossmann);
- generates geometric pit surfaces;
- builds reports and graphs that can be visualized.

Unlike NPVS, Maxipit focuses specifically on optimizing the shape and size of the quarry, rather than the entire planning cycle.

Datamine Studio RMS (Raw Material Scheduler)

This is a product from the same line that is very similar to Studio NPVS in terms of functionality, but without some specialized analytical functions (
