Blue Mining – Today’s Mine Planning for Future Mines

The Future of Mine Planning Software – New Tools and Innovations

Modern mine planning software plays a crucial role in the operation of many of the world’s mining operations and projects. Mine planning software provides the mining industry with a fast, accurate, cost effective and efficient tool in order to manage their business interests worldwide. Every aspect of the mining industry is today using some form of mine planning software. From exploration to re...

Path Planning for Mine Countermeasures

We have developed path-planning techniques and tools to look for paths through minefields. Our techniques seek to balance the length and risk associated with different routes through a minefield. Our methods are intended to provide battlegroup commanders powerful new tools to evaluate alternative routes while searching for low risk paths. It is well known how to find the path of shortest distan...

Modern Strategic Mine Planning

If you are in a shipwreck and all the boats are gone, a piano top...that comes along makes a fortuitous life preserver. But this is not to say that the best way to design a life preserver is in the form of a piano top. I think that we are clinging to a great many piano tops in accepting yesterday’s fortuitous contrivings as constituting the only means for solving a given problem. (Fuller 1969, ...

LSC-Mine: Algorithm for Mining Local Outliers

Data objects which differ significantly from the remaining data objects are referred to as outliers. Density-based algorithms for mining outliers are very effective in detecting all forms of outliers, where data objects with fewer neighbors are likely to be outliers than are those with more neighbors. However, existing density-based algorithms engage in huge repetitive computation and compariso...
