Companies who have adopted Mine2-4D for complete Life of Mine Studies and Mine Production Planning have realized a range of benefits.

THE PLANNERS'  PRODUCTIVITY IS DRIVEN UP BY:  

• Reducing planning times by up to 90%
  Mine2-4D implements a clear engineering process with direct connection to data sources and selective automation of repetitive tasks, such as development sequencing.

• More time available to apply engineering principles to planning problems
  Mine2-4D reduces time spent on gathering and massaging data from different sources to build up a plan, again, and again....

MINE MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCES:

• Increased profitability
  Mine2-4D has reduced planned operating costs by up to 40%, by considering an increased number of alternatives and assessing the effect of alternative timings for project investments.

• More robust mine planning
  Mine2-4D has delivered flexibility to operations through increased options.

• Increased accountability in implementing the mine plan
  Mine2-4D is able to track all changes in the Life of Mine Plan and monitor performance of actual against planned.

• Improved communication of planning options at all levels
  Mine2-4D exports to spreadsheets for further analysis. It also generates real-time 3D presentations and animations to provide clarity to all decision makers.

• Rapid response to ‘what if?’ scenario requests
  Mine2-4D integrates Short-Term and Life of Mine Plans into a single entity. This ensures quick assessment of financial and production ramifications of any plan modification.
