Optimisation, Design and Scheduling (Strategic to Tactical)

Strategic to tactical planning with activities of pit optimisation, pit/dump operational designs, site layout, mine scheduling and financial model

Technical Due Diligence

Dual-sided due diligence to uncover risks, synergies, and value drivers for all parties involved in the acquisition.

Independent Technical Assessment Review (ITAR)

A formal, third-party rigorous evaluation of a mineral project’s technical aspects to identify potential project risks and improvement opportunities

Mine Plan Review Using Simulation & Sensitivity Analysis

Mine plan validation and de-risking services using simulation-driven analysis, helping clients gain confidence in their decisions and reduce exposure to uncertainty.

Business Improvement of Mining Planning Workflows

Orepath’s consultants specialise in reviewing and revising the basis of design for mine plans and associated workflows. We assess current designs, dependent parameters, identify areas for improvement, and provide expert recommendations to optimise efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance overall project outcomes, ensuring your mine plan is both effective and sustainable.

Mine Simulation

Orepath’s mine simulation software allows you to de-risk mine plans, visualising challenges and testing strategies before implementation. This tool improves planning, resource management, and decision-making, driving efficiency and productivity in your mining projects.

Grade Prediction & Variability Control

Our stockpile management software enables users to model the 3D formation and reclaiming of stockpiles, while tracking material movement from pit to plant to achieve targeted feed blends. It enhances visibility into grade distribution within each stockpile segment, supporting more effective control of plant feed variability and ensuring consistent processing performance.

Bespoke Optimisation & Scripting

Our team of developers works to address complex problems that aren’t tackled by the wider industry, creating tailored algorithms and scripts to optimise resource allocation, improve efficiency, and automate processes.
