MiningMath allows you to learn, practice, and demonstrate, by showing any scenario previously ran the concepts of Strategy Optimization using the full capabilities of using only Marvin Deposit. This version is freely available to mining professionals, researchers, and students who want to develop their abilities considering this standard block model.

Minimum Mining Width
50m
Minimum Bottom Width
100m
Restrict Mining Surface

Some surface in .csv format. For example due to a processing plant in the area.

Fixed Mining (Stockpiling)
0.9$/t
Rehandling cost (Stockpiling)
0.2$/t

Economic Values

  • Process Function = BlockSize * Density * [GradeCU/100 * RecoveryCu * (SellingPriceCU – SellingCostCU) + GradeAU * RecoveryCu * (SellingPriceAU – SellingCostAU) - (ProcessingCost + MiningCost)]
  • Waste Function = BlockSize * Density * MiningCost

Discount Rate
15% per year
Default Density
3.0 t/m³
Default Slope Angle
45 degrees

Economic Values

  • Process Function = BlockSize * Density * [GradeAU * RecoveryCu * (SellingPriceAU) - (ProcessingCost + MiningCost)]
  • Waste Function = BlockSize * Density * MiningCost
