Public Datasets
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.
Marvin Deposit
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.

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