    System and a method for life of mine planning and cost control
  • Author: MINERP IP INCORPORATED
  • Description: The invention relates to a computer-implemented system and method for planning and controlling multi-facet business activities over extended time periods, such as mining technical activities, during life of mine from concept and pre-feasibility assessment to closure in a mining operation for a mineral deposit, and enterprise support processes, such as costs, concurrently with such activities, in a direct substantially real-time manner. The system comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer-executable instructions, selected from at least one toolset, with mining technical activity, spatial and accounting rules, and at least one library, with company, mining technical and accounting codes and practices; a non-transitory computer accessible creator, for creating a work breakdown structure for a specific mining work place location and specific mining technical activities, represented at least partially in spatial geometries at a level of three-dimensional detail with preselected granularity in accordance with the planning and timeframe of the operation; a non-transitory computer accessible codifier, for codifying in accordance with the work breakdown structure a corresponding cost code structure of substantially equivalent granularity: a non-transitory computer accessible assimilator, for assimilating pre-selected, measurable parameters of the mining activities; a non-transitory computer accessible generator, for generating inventory transactions, reflecting the change in state and status of the mineral deposit; and a non-transitory computer accessible comparator, for comparing, In an ERP system to enable at least semi-continuous mine planning and operation, the use of resources and the costs of such use, during such activities at pre-selected detail and granularity. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing computer-implemented instructions, a master business schedule and a work break down structure with corresponding cost code structure is also provided.
