Snowden's high performance
underground optimisation solution
 
Stopesizor is an accelerated leading edge underground optimisation tool which rapidly identifies the best combination of mining method, production rate, development rate, production schedule, mining costs and cut-off grade for your project.
 
Stopesizor's accelerated features give you more time and information to develop optimum strategies to maximise the value of your underground mining projects. Coupled with Snowden's Evaluator software, an innovative linear programming optimisation algorithm, multiple operating scenarios can be rapidly assessed. These include:
  • multi mine underground and open pit
  • strategic design options
  • various COG ranges
 
For a limited time, Snowden will provide a unique opportunity for you
to test drive Stopesizor using a sample of your own data.

Snowden has taken advantage of its expertise in the planning and evaluation of underground projects to develop an optimisation tool that allows our clients to quickly assess the strategic direction of underground mining projects, with considerable study time and cost savings.
 

Stopesizor is a strategic underground design tool that generates a series of mining outlines for a range of cut-off grades. Each mining outline honours user-defined minimum mining dimension and geometry constraints.

 

For each Stopesizor outline, Evaluator generates consistent life-of-mine production and cost schedules using user-defined production and revenue parameters.  Evaluator models the interdependence of production parameters such as mining method, production rate and activity sequence to arrive at the optimum outcome.

 

Snowden's strategic planning tools have an application in every underground mine, irrespective of size, commodity or stage in its lifecycle.
