There are a large number of variables that must be taken into account for the development of a dragline mine plan. This is especially true for mining in mountainous terrain, where the geology and topography may be complex. As a result, the manual mine planning process can be very tedious and time consuming An interactive computer package was developed in order to aid the engineer with dragline mine planning on a PC based system. This package employs recent advances in 3D computer graphics and 3D geologic modelling to help with the visualization of the mine plan and to speed up the planning process One of the main difficulty with the development of mine planning software for microcomputers is due to the limited amount of available RAM (Random Access Memory). This, in turn, affects the speed of information retrieval from the database and the speed of data processing. A compact geologic and mine model and an efficient database were developed to overcome these limitations. These components where then used as the foundation for the development of a total interactive mine planning package. |
