  • Patent number: 12699939
    Abstract: The invention relates to an automated, computer-assisted system for a mining and production process of natural resource and reserve with mining technical equipment. The system comprising a first, second and third sub-system. The first sub-system is for use with disparate technical systems to integrate the geometries and attributes at any specific spatial location in such natural resource or reserve to allow tracking of changes in the logical status or physical state of the resource or reserve. The second sub-system is for creating and exploring extraction plans for a given information about a specific resource or reserve automatically and within a job scheduler. The third sub-system is for planning, controlling and executing multi-facet technical activities, during life of site from concept and pre-feasibility assessment to closure of operation, and enterprise support processes, such as costs, concurrently with such activities, in a substantially real-time manner, based on such extraction plans.

  • Publication number: 20240249226
    Abstract: Automated, computer-assisted system for a mining and production process of natural resource and reserve with mining technical equipment on a commercial basis, the system comprising multiple sub-systems. The first sub-system is for use with disparate expert technical systems and applications to integrate the geometries and attributes at any specific spatial location in such natural resource or reserve to reasonably describe a collective, multi-disciplinary technical perspective of the resource or reserve in relation to such spatial location and allow tracking over time of changes in the logical status or physical state of the resource or reserve at that location. The second sub-system is for creating and exploring extraction plans for a given information about a specific resource or reserve automatically and within a job scheduler.
