Projects


“Intelligent Mining” Examples

• Cloudbreak Mine, Australia

– 19 month delivery requirement

• Mponeng Mine, South Africa

–Laser scan (220 million points) survey/operational and maintenance access study

–Various 3D information models

–Animation of the manoeuvre incorporating the 3D information models

–Clash detection – identifying “soft” and “hard” clashes


• Bane Novaky, Slovakia

Industry


Current State of the Industry & Industry Trends

“With commodity prices surging to all-time highs, accelerated production has become the mantra of most mining companies”

• Cyclic nature of the industry

• Currently in a downturn

–Exploration down by >30%

–Capital Expenditure ~0% Growth

–Capital Velocity – significantly down



Focus is now directed on “long term optimization of operating costs & capital allocation as sustainable measures for their business”

“When you talk about costs there are two elements. One is how you tighten your belt & make the easy changes.

The second is productivity, getting more out of your existing people, your equipment & your infrastructure.”



Today’s Mantra:

•Increasing Production;

•Improving Efficiencies;

•Reducing Costs

In short:

•Optimize current & future projects & operations by doing more with less



Innovation

•“The mining industry is currently in a phase where innovation is quickly turning tip-of-the-spear technologies into disruptive new capabilities that present opportunities for strong differentiation and massive leaps in efficiency".

Intelligent Mine / “Mine of the Future”

•“Application of information technology at every phase of the mining value chain to support the business processes and make them more efficient and effective”

•Searching for technology that provides a “Step Change”

–“Step Change” = 25% improvement in efficiencies




Syndicated Driven Development Projects


SDDP – Syndicate Driven Development Program

• Solution benefits • Development of Commercial Off The Shelf products (COTs) that meet organizations’ needs

• Requirement Specifications compiled and signed off by SDDP members

• Monthly iteration sessions (22 iterations)

• Agile development: changes are possible

• Test firsthand Alpha and Beta releases

What Our Syndicate Members are Saying

“We have collectively given input regarding our various operating requirements in our fields of expertise to Bentley and Cyest over the past two years. This information has driven them to produce a product that not only looks and functions as we intended but has exceeded our expectations.”

– Devlin D. Andersen, Section Surveyor, Anglo American Platinum Ltd.



“Providing management with a collaborative view of our current vs planned scenarios will be an easy and effortless task by implementing Bentley’s MineCycle Designer and MineCycle Survey. This will simplify reporting and assist management in making constructive and informed operational decisions.”

– Bernice van der Merwe, IT Systems Coordinator—Core Business Applications, Royal Bafokeng Platinum



“Bentley is providing the software that will revolutionize the mine survey and planning discipline. Its commitment to the requirements of its clients goes above of what is required. We are looking forward to continued collaboration with Bentley to take the South African mining industry to higher technological heights.”

– Marthinus Steyn, Senior Mine Planner, AngloGold Ashanti

MineCycle ™ Material Handling – Benefits


MineCycle ™ Material Handling

3D renderings generated directly from the design environment enable compelling proposals and improved stakeholder communication.



3D renderings generated directly from the design environment enable compelling proposals and improved stakeholder communication.


“We estimate that MineCycle Material Handling will help us to produce FEL-1 and FEL-2 layout designs 20 to 40 percent faster. Specifically, the traditionally onerous process to extract 2D drawings is expected to be significantly reduced. When combined with the layout productivity gains, enabled by the equipment library and other capabilities, our conceptual design process will be much more efficient.”

– Hendrik Visser, Global Technical Coordinator – Bulk Material Handling,



• Time and cost savings with a purpose-built application

• Higher-quality designs through optioneering

• More compelling deliverables
