GEOVIA Caving module is a powerful tool for evaluating the feasibility of block and sub-level cave designs at various elevations. It supports pre-feasibility studies with features like discounted cash flow analysis, multi-sector scheduling, and batch testing of key parameters such as draw height, costs, and mining rates. The tool enables assessment of inclined footprints using surface-based evaluations and allows for flexible design options. A built-in mini scheduler further supports economic analysis with vertical and horizontal discounting to refine planning decisions.
