OVERVIEW
Mine Planning Design
As mine planners, we know the impact operational changes to mine plans can have on workflows and efficiencies.
Having the ability to calculate the cost-benefit of a mine design option or process stream gives a mine-site foresight into a design that maximizes output.
As part of its mine design capability, Opencontour also offers linkage between mine schedules, fleet management, stockpiling, road string management, ore and waste management, and other critical mine plan inputs. This is aimed at decreasing the time needed for iterations on a plan.
By integrating all planning tasks into one software, Opencontour makes mine design and planning easier.
MAXIMIZE PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH OUR WEB-BASED SOLUTION
Looking ahead
We offer a no cost Mine Design solution for open-pit planning and layout. Our Pro version is a paid upgrade that unlocks powerful data export capabilities. With Mine Design Pro, users can:
Export DXF filesÂ
Generate and export CSV reports for further analysis and reporting
As mine planners, we understand that operational changes to mine plans can majorly impact workflows and efficiencies. Measuring the cost-benefit of mine design options or system changes provides foresight into designs that maximize productivity throughout the mine site.
SOLUTION HIGHLIGHTS
With our Mine Design Solution, you can easily do
01
Mine Planning Design - Focus On The Most Important Functionality
Ramp Design - Quick ramp design requires functionality:
- up to 3 ramps for a given bench in any direction
- toe crest and ramp strings
Geotechnical Constraints - many different options:
- Complex geotechnical designs with unique IRA (inter-ramp angle) / BFA (bench face angle) based on azimuth orientation within specific domains
- Simpler 2D domains with specific IRA / BFA settings
Contours are used as the basis for design:
- Geometry operations are simpler and faster
- tools are available to view contour designs in 3D as surfaces
02
Block Model
Block models can be imported viewed and used in reserve / resource tabulation
- csv import
- edit attributes
- cold legends
- transfer block attributes to result cut shapes with our 'contour cutter' function
03
Scripting / Reporting / 3D Visual
Reports and scenario-based analyses can be improved through data visualization. Take advantage of our pre-populated charts & graphs while having the ability to generate customized data visualizations via Plotly (3rd Party API).
Write scripts to populate models for more complex mine plans.
Mine visualization can also be created in 3D or 2D contour format, efficient generation of period maps, final topography after cutting/filling, extensive set of 3D tools available for viewing geometry features.
KEY FEATURES
Design Tools for Enhancing your Mine's Performance and Operation
CAD Functionality & Base Contours
CAD feature drawing and editing, project settings stored on a web server, drag and drop design files, feature editing/saving, DXF/CSV input, and output.
Use mine site topography to build the base contour layer for your site.
Design Cutters and Fillers
Design cutter or filler shapes/contours (pits, dumps, or heap leach pads) with mine topography. Apply geotechnical functionality (slope design) for multiple domains, ramp building efficiency, design open pit phases, dump designs, and heap leach pad lifts, mid-bench, or Toe/Crest lines.
Block Model
Import block model CSV files with or without filtering capabilities, model label viewer, custom legend for color code data viewing, open pit or heap leach pad model viewing.
Scripting & Charting
Java Scripts are used to edit/add data to the mine plan at the block model level, plans can be simple, or complex based on the number of added properties, scripts define financial analysis parameters, scripts can be easily edited providing iterations on your mine plan.
Choose between creating your custom chart or utilizing the pre-built charts available within the software (Financial Charts, Grade Tonnage Curves, etc.).

-
How do I get started?Our team is here to help you. We consider each project and its needs when supporting our clients. Once we receive your initial request, we will schedule an initial call to identify which software solution is right for you and your team. Please send your questions to email: info@opencontour.com
-
Are there any considerations I should be aware of before opening an account with Opencontour?We recognize that not all mining projects are the same. Before signing up, our team will discuss data quality, team skillset, time frames, training and development, and metallurgical support.
-
What input/output data formats does Opencontour support?Opencontour supports DXF, CSV, and .json files.
-
How secure is my data on the Opencontour platform?Our SaaS Software was designed so that all data is stored locally on your browser software (Chrome, etc..). This means that only you own and control the data without security risk. Our servers do not store any of your data.
