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.

Adding new fields to the Marvin deposit

If you are working with the Marvin deposit along with MiningMath free version, be aware that the inclusion of new fields is allowed, as long as: 1) there is no inclusion or exclusion of blocks in the file; and 2) the SLOPE, DENSITY and COORDINATES fields are not modified.

An error message might be displayed when modifications are detected in the basic structure of the standard Marvin deposit. Therefore, use the original CSV file provided with the MiningMath installation.

DB Information

Below are listed the default parameters for Marvin according to the adaptions made in our formatted model.

Parameter	Value
Block size	23000 m³ (X = 30m, Y=30m, Z=30m)
AU - Selling Price	12 $/g
AU - Selling Cost	0.2 $/g
AU - Recovery	0.60
CU - Selling Price	2000 $/ton
CU - Selling Cost	720 $/ton
CU - Recovery	0.88
Mining Cost	0.9 $/ton
Processing Cost	4.0 $/ton
Discount Rate	10% per year
Default Density	2.75 t/m³
Default Slope Angles	45 degrees

Some common constraints applied to the Marvin deposit are listed below.

Constraint	Value
Processing capacity	10 Mt per year
Total movement	40 Mt per year
Sum of processing hours	4,000 per year (detailed estimate of the plant throughput)
Vertical rate of advance:	150m per year
Copper grade	Limited until 0.7%
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

DB Information

Below are listed the default parameters for the McLaughlin deposit according to the adoptions made in our formatted model.

Parameter	Value
Block size	X = 7.62m (25ft), Y = 7.62m (25ft), Z = 6.096m (20ft)
AU - Selling Price	900 $/oz
AU - Recovery	0.90
Mining Cost	1.32 $/ton
Processing Cost	19 $/ton
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
