Specifically developed to meet the mining industry’s rigorous demands,
MineScape is used at more than 100 Indonesian coal mines. MineScape is a
suite of integrated solutions designed for open cut and underground mining
operations. It delivers extensive geological modelling and mine design
functionality – making it the leading mine planning solution in Indonesia.
Incorporating many features, MineScape offers exceptional ease-of-use
through:
- A Graphical Task interface (GTi), which seamlessly merges MineScape’s
various functions.
- Intuitive familiar working environment.
- True simultaneous multi-user access to all 3D data and models.
- Advanced 3D CAD support.
- MineScape Explorer to browse projects and manipulate data.
- Multi-user support in a network environment.
- Complex stratigraphic modelling functionality including reverse
faulting.
- Integration of the geological database with modelling and the 3D
graphics environment.
All MineScape products are fully integrated and provide multi-user access
to a single database in a network environment. Each product performs a
specific range of data processing and mine planning functions.
Core MineScape, the ‘base’ product, is mandatory for all Mincom MineScape
products and comprises:
- A fully-integrated, miningbased 3D CAD system.
- Custom programming
- Comprehensive miningoriented function library including surface
manipulation, gridding, transaction and spreadsheet management facilities.
- Custom reporting.
- Direct viewing of AutoCAD ESRI shape files.
- Comprehensive plotting functionality.
Perform efficient and accurate 3D modelling of nonstratigraphic deposits
using MineScape’s in-built CAD system to view and manipulate the models.
Generate 3D deposit models with interpretation of geologic data for
definition of wireframe solids and export to third party optimisation tools
such as Whittle 4D.
Store downhole survey, lithology and quality data, produce ‘standard’,
summary and user-defined reports and graphically display the downhole data.
GDB displays lithology, intervals, geophysics and correlation and contains
specialised compositing and washability functions.
Perform complex stratigraphic modelling functions including reverse
faulting. Interactively manipulate 3D model elements including 3D rendered
displays in any orientation.
Use the interactive 3D CAD environment to quickly lay out an optimum
blast pattern, project holes to surfaces and export hole layout reports to
GPS-equipped drill rigs. Drill & Blast is integrated to produce quick blast
exclusion zones.
Design haul roads interactively in 3D. Determine cut and fill
requirements for mass balancing and optimisation. Automatically generate
reports for survey and construction personnel in graphical or text formats.
Generate and test mine designs for short-term production operations and
long-term feasibility studies. Use MineScape’s 3D CAD tools to visualise and
graphically interact with the design at any stage.
Interactively create grade blocks using the most accurate information
available to calculate reserves and to graphically cue the production
planner.
Generate survey instructions automatically from mine plans. Input survey
results from a field recorder or field book directly into the MineScape
database. Generate production reports and plans and use the database
information for further short-term planning, reclamation and reconciliation.
Optimise the mining method and sequence by providing forecasts of
material movement and machine activities for longterm and short-term
operations.
