Introduction to MineSight for Engineering - Underground Design and Scheduling

This course is for new MineSight users who will be performing underground development design and scheduling tasks. MineSight 3D and MineSight Compass tools will be used to design stopes for various underground mining methods. MineSight Interactive Planner, in conjunction with the MineSight Planning Database, will be used to report mineable reserves. The course will introduce the following mine design functions: slope/pillar layout, room and pillar design, drift layout, ring design, stope development layout, scheduling of developments and production. The last part of the course will introduce the Autoslicer and MineSight Interactive Planner (MSIP), which is used for short range scheduling.  The Autoslicer is used to obtain mineable solids. The MSIP applications covered in this course are: initial set-up and set-up editing of the MSIP tool, editing cuts or mineable solids, set-up with multiple ore percents, plotting for MSIP in plan and section.
