Once the Production subtab is complete, the Geometric subtab will be enabled. In this section, you can define parameters designed to find solutions that meet the basic requirements for operational feasibility.

You can define five different parameters for each period range and timeframe:

  • Minimum mining width (MW)

    This parameter specifies the distance (in meters) from one pit to another. Wider values allow for greater mining fronts and better designs for nested pits, pushbacks, schedules, or any other desired outcomes. (read more). 

  • Minimum mining length (ML)

    This parameter defines the minimum distance (in meters) required between at least two points along the walls of surfaces in two consecutive mining periods. This distance is automatically maintained for any values that are smaller than or equal to the Minimum Mining Width (MW) (read more)

  • Minimum bottom width (BW)

    This parameter specifies the minimum horizontal distance (in meters) on the lowest floor of the pit. It ensures that mining operations can be conducted effectively based on the equipment sizing (read more).

  • Vertical rate of advance

    This parameter indicates the vertical distance (in meters) mined in each period. It is calculated by evaluating each mining face independently (read more).

  • Surface mining limits

    You can add two types of surface restrictions:

    Force mining: This option requires a surface file (.csv) as input. It defines an area that must be mined within a specified time frame, ensuring that all material within the boundaries is fully depleted (read more).

    Restrict mining: This option also requires a surface file (.csv) as input. It defines an area outside the imported surface that cannot be accessed within the specific time frame, effectively setting a maximum mining depth for that period (read more).

    Note: Surfaces are the most important constraints within MiningMath's constraint hierarchy, allowing you to impose one's understanding and take control of prior results and operational aspects.
