GEOVIA Surpac is the world’s most popular geology and mine planning software, supporting various mining projects in more than 120 countries. The software delivers efficiency and accuracy through ease-of-use, powerful 3D graphics, and workflow automation that can be aligned to company-specific processes and data flows.
Surpac addresses all the requirements of mining engineers in the resource sector and is flexible enough to be suitable for every commodity, orebody, and mining method. Its multilingual capabilities allow global companies to support a common solution across their operations.
Explore the available three roles from Surpac which are developed based on the profiles and needs of users who work in the Engineering mining process.
Mine Designer (JMC+JMI)
Convert strategic mine plans into practical mine designs including mine surfaces, ramps, tunnels, haul roads, waste dump, whilst also producing reserve reports and mine plans. Encompasses all design horizons including daily, weekly, monthly and long term.
- Design bench, berm and ramps constraints for surface mining
- Design stopes, tunnels, ramps and shafts for underground mining
- Design waste dumps, tailing dams and haul roads for mining infrastructure
- Incorporate geotechnical constraints such as slope stability
- Integrate geology for reserve reporting of grade, tonnes and volumes
- Produce mine plans and visual outputs for communication with production crews
Drill & Blast Designer (JDB)
Design and plan suitable blast patterns to ensures monthly production tonnage targets are met, factoring in safety, materials and costs associated while looking for ways to reduce costs and improve performance.
- Surface mining - efficient design of bench blast patterns considering blast hole layout, load and charging, detonation sequence and blast solids
- Underground mining - efficient design of underground ring or drill & blast patterns considering blast hole layout, load & charging, detonation sequence and drill rig parameters
- Produce reports, plans and visual outputs for production crews and required reporting for costs and volumetrics against targets
Stope Optimizer (JSZ)
Create and consider multiple possible stope designs to determine the optimal design that meets a set of strategic objectives, often tied to extracting the highest possible economic value from a deposit.
- Generate optimum stope designs for a range of underground mining methods
- Produce stope inventories from block models that spatially represent the location of mineralization
- Generate stope designs that maximize recovered resource value above cut-off grade
- Create practical mining parameters such as minimum and maximum mining width, anticipated wall dilutions, minimum and maximum wall angles and many other factors
