Effective mine planning can be challenging in today’s environment of increased demand for productivity, competition, commodity price fluctuations, rapid growth in overseas markets, equipment scarcity, government red tape and the well documented skills shortage.

Given the integral role mine planning plays in the early risk mitigation of such increased external factors, mine planners from leading mining companies are focused on optimising their current plans and strategies for better accuracy to achieve more profitable outcomes and success for their mine projects.
