How to configure a Strategy setup

Once an Strategy setup is created, it needs to be configured so that it contains the necessary information for schedule generation.

Strategy setup configuration is divided into a number of tabs. Each tab represents an aspect of the setup the software requires to schedule the mine. The following is a list of tabs that need to be configured for an Strategy setup to be ready for server submission:

  • Process Setup: Used to add process flow components to a setup.
  • Tonnage & Grade: Used to define total tonnage, ore tonnage and define primary and secondary elements.
  • Lithology : Used to define lithology types that can be refined by each process in the setup.
  • Grade Bins :— Used to define grade bins in the setup.
  • Targets & Economics: Used to define the economic profile of the setup.
  • Fixed Cut-Offs: Used to either manually define the process cut-off grade or allow the software to perform cut-off grade optimisation.
  • Constraints: Used to define a set of setup constraints per period.
  • Reporting: Used to add reporting items to the schedule report.
  • Engine Parameters (optional): Used to define constraints surrounding schedule generation.
