XPAC
Mining engineers have been using RPMGlobal’s XPAC since 1980 to plan their production. Follow their lead and use XPAC to identify where to dig, where to dump waste material, and what equipment you will need to meet production targets. Most importantly, you can use XPAC to deliver knowledge and confidence, whereas before, there were only limited choices. XPAC is a highly flexible mine scheduling solution that makes it easy to view mine data, from individual reserve blocks through to the whole mine. You can produce mine schedules that take into account the unique character and attributes of almost any mining operation. XPAC delivers economic efficiencies to your bottom line and is the solution for any mining operation seeking operational excellence and value. Schedule your mine with greater predictability and practicality. Adopt standardized planning processes to deliver consistent corporate results.

Opencontour
Opencontour mine planning software tools help optimize open pit mine and heap leach pad operations. Opencontour software tools are made to streamline mine design, scheduling, planning, efficiencies, and productivity. Our software helps mine planners gather and understand data that leads to informed decisions. Open pit mine and heap leaching operations are extensive, and require synchronized planning to ensure time and financial resources are not wasted. Opencontour helps align each area of the mine so operations perform in unity. Our mine planning tools generate workflows that reduce wasted resources, increase recoveries, and maximize profits for mining companies. Opencontour software is divided into four mine planning programs - Core Design, Scheduling, Heap Leach Pad Stacking, and Heap Leach Recovery Optimization.

SOT
SOT is the industry’s only strategic financial optimization tool for both surface and underground mines that maximizes productivity and profitability outcomes by optimizing the Net Present Value (NPV) of the mine schedule. As a comprehensive mine schedule optimization tool, SOT uses an evolutionary search algorithm to generate optimized schedules that maximize the NPV of any resource. SOT is purpose-built for scenario planning and comparisons. This allows mine planners to analyze multiple strategies and inform the selection of alternative, high-NPV schedules. Operations can extract more value from their resource with an NPV-optimized schedule, mitigating risk and decreasing the payback period. Custom heuristics and an evolutionary algorithm optimize the NPV. Identify robust, high-value schedules that drive strategic mine planning. Optimize for NPV, ore feed targets, profitability index, and many more metrics.
