Achieve better results

Ore blocking can often be subjective with different geological approaches. Our solution allows you to configure constraints and parameters around the process so that results are objective, consistent and repeatable which gives you greater confidence in predicting the amount of high-grade ore.

Increase profitability
Speed up delivery
All-in-one
Reduce dilution, increase profitability

Be more selective in what you mine to produce more high-grade ore by assessing different flinch and over the bench heights to reduce dilution. Our solution brings automation to an otherwise manual process which in turn increases ore recovery by as much as 5-10% which in some cases has converted to tens of millions per mine in savings or increased revenues.

Fast decisions and results

Conduct and visualise multiple blasts and scenarios in 3D at any one time to quickly assess differences and make informed subjective decisions in line with your mine plan. As a cloud solution, we support your terabytes of data and speed up the processing which desktop applications simply cannot match.

Integrations to extend your capability

Used in conjunction with our Block Model Management & Governance and Geology Data Management solutions, you can further increase ore recovery, reduce scenario analysis timeframes and increase excavator and truck utilisation. We also integrate with leading mine planning packages like Vulcan and Datamine to sync ore and waste blocks with spatial data.

Third Party Solutions
Third Party Solutions

Automated Ore Blocking can integrate with any modern mine planning system. For example, blast designs created in Vulcan, automatically creates the ore and waste blocks in our Automated Ore Blocker solution, and then saves the selected blocks, and all related spatial information, to both databases.
