iGantt Usage

• iGantt is a tool for open-pit and underground
  production scheduling that integrates Gantt
  chart, 3D visualization and spreadsheet views of
  a production schedule.
• iGantt can be used for scheduling a single
  operation or multiple operations across an
  enterprise.

Geometry Imports

• Solids
• Vulcan (.00t), Minesight (.msr), Surpac
  (.dtm), Datamine (.dm), Micromine (soon)
• DXF (.dxf)
• Strings
• Vulcan (.dgd.isis), Minesight (.msr), Surpac

Scheduling Methods

• Visually from 3D view in context of assigning
  and sequencing digging equipment
• Gantt chart based scheduling
• Scheduling ancillary activities (drill and
  blast) to tie in with production
• Optional Blending and Optimization
  (target-based) module

9
Features

• Definable Attributes and Activity Types
• Assign precedences between Activities with
  optional allocation of lag
• Definable Reports
• Define View by Attributes (Mine, Pit, Bench,
  Blast, Block)
• Calculable attributes (a1 f(a2,a3))

10
Scheduling Methods

• Graphical / Visual Scheduling with Gantt chart
  based scheduling
• Automatically generate activities from
  production schedule with precedences

11
Interactive Scheduling

• Interactive Gantt Chart-based Scheduling
• Linkage between 3D view and Gantt chart
• Click on a geometric object (solid or polygon) to
  see when it is scheduled
• Click on a iGantt chart bar to see where it is in
  the mine

Resource Scheduling
13
Stockpiling Module

• Schedule material onto stockpile and schedule
  draw-downs from stockpile
• View composition of stockpile as you schedule
  mining production
• Report on total material direct-feed and from
  stockpile reclaim to mill

Lump and Fines Stockpiles
15
Stockpiling Module

• Combination of equipment scheduling with
  stockpiling for buffering and blending
• Stockpiles are linked to an individual quantity
  attribute and Capacity.
• Use stockpiles to target correct feed to mill

16
Blending and Optimization Module

• Auto-generate precedences based on geometry of
  mining block polygons
• Set constraints on grade, mining and milling
• Optimize
• Medium-term to longer-term applications

iGantt Summary

• Easy to use visual scheduling
• Integrate long-term with short-term
• Two way integration with GMP
• Integration with corporate databases
• Powerful scripting capabilities
• Stockpiling Capabilities
• Blending and Optimization Capabilities
