Mine Design Master Class (Micromine 2023)

Master Micromine by creating a new project, importing topography from dxf/dwg or vector files to generate a digital terrain model, and saving form sets for easy re-use.

Create a digital terrain model from contours by interactively selecting strings, optionally restricting the area, and saving the result as a DTM in a triangulation database with color by elevation.

Clip a topography using a mask polyline to focus design areas in micromine. Create polygons or strings, set the clipping form set, and save the clipped DTM for pit design.

Import and visualize the block model, color blocks by class or grade, and use interactive visibility to inspect high-grade areas. Leverage optimizer shells to create the pit design in micromine.

Learn pit design basics in Micromine, including creating pit design files, selecting pit or damp design, and using tools to set bench height, slope, berm width, and inter ramp angle.

Convert an optimizer shell into a detailed Micromine pit design by applying berms and slopes, adding ramps, and ensuring the design follows the ultimate pit shell, then generate a DTM.

Apply geotechnical constraints within an optimizer shell and variable constraints framework to create a detailed pit design using wireframes for region-specific slopes and berm widths.

Clip the pit design with topography to create a clean boundary, merge topography and pit geometry with interactive boolean, and calculate pit volumes.

Create mining blocks from a pit volume, set the cutting profile, and calculate the volume of each bench individually to support mine scheduling.

Create a pushback in Micromine by loading shell five, copying the toe string to the active layer, and shaping a curved design that follows shell without crossing the ultimate pit.

Design automated waste dumps beside a mine pit with Micromine 2023. Use the waste stamp modeler, topography draping, and elevation and berm parameters to generate contours and assess volume.

Learn how to create and refine a detailed waste stamp and pit design in Micromine, saving forms, applying auto stamp contours, clipping by topography, and generating contours for export.

Export detailed pit designs from micromine by clipping external strings, generating silhouettes, and exporting 3D elevations to dxf/dwg CAD formats for use in other packages.
