Underground mine design

We offer comprehensive underground mine design services, transforming geological models and resource estimates into safe, efficient, and economically viable operating plans. Our designs integrate geotechnical, operational, and economic parameters to optimize extraction methods, infrastructure, and long-term planning.

Review of data and input parameters: Analysis of block models, geotechnical studies, hydrogeology and infrastructure constraints. Verification of dilution factors, recovery and cut-off grade.

Operating methods: selection and design of suitable mining methods (long hole stopping, cut & fill, room and pillar, sublevel caving, etc.) depending on the geometry of the deposit and ground conditions.

Infrastructure design: planning of galleries, ramps, shafts, chambers and retaining areas, with integration of ventilation, drainage and safety requirements.

Planning and scheduling: development of realistic operating sequences and production schedules aligned with processing capacity, logistics and profitability strategy.

Ventilation and safety: design of primary and secondary ventilation networks, calculation of air flows, pressures and circuits to ensure a safe and compliant working environment.

Optimization and validation: sensitivity analyses and technical and economic optimization to maximize recovery, reduce costs and improve productivity.

Documentation and compliance: production of detailed engineering plans, design reports and documentation in accordance with standards NI 43-101 / SK-1300, ensuring traceability, security and sustainable performance.
