IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MINESIGHT® TOOLS IN THE LAS CUEVAS MINE OF VALE COAL COMPANY IN COLOMBIA
This paper presents the implementation of the MineSight® tools in a theoretical project based on the Las Cuevas mine. The project relies on conventional modeling, project configuration, deployment, drilling handling and the creation of the geological and block models that make it possible to reliably determine the exploitable mineral resources of interest. An overview of the project is presented along with a theoretical case study beginning with the generation of polygons in sections representing the seams, using the true thickness tool. After this, economic envelopes were presented using the MSOPIT and MSVALP tools, together with some coal mining requirements. Finally, operational pits were designed using the Pit Expansion tool in order to optimally exploit the site and facilitate economic balance throughout the project. Upon finishing this, the Interactive Planner (IP) tool was used to carry out short-term planning.
