D.W. Ellis & Associates Ltd. has 30 years of simulation modeling experience including significant work simulating various mining operations. We have simulated $1B (capital) mines as well as smaller components of mines.

Examples features of a mine you might simulate

• the whole mine
• the interaction of the shovels and the trucks
• the interaction of the trucks and crushers
• the size of a stockpile
• the use of backup shovels, crushers, trucks
• dispatching rules for trucks

Simulation modeling allows you to determine the best way to operate the mine without experimenting with the actual mine. You would experiment with the model to determine the best

• number of trucks
• size of trucks
• number and size of crushers
• system or component availabilities
• dispatching rules
• whether a stockpile should be used

We also have considerable experience with the animation of simulation models.
