About the Course
Designed specifically for stratified deposit scenarios such as coal, lignite, and bauxite, this training focuses on the end-to-end modeling and scheduling capabilities of GEOVIA Minex and MineShed, respectively. Participants will build 3D geological and quality models using borehole data, implement seam and strip layouts, and generate scheduling scenarios using calendar-based tools. Minex’s specialisation in layered deposits makes it indispensable for professionals managing coal blocks, surface layout planning, and ROM output calculations. This course builds both confidence and competence in handling large stratified datasets and deriving mineable outputs. And finally, will do the scheduling based on the requirement.
