Comprehensive and efficient simulation software for both open-pit and underground mining operations
As a Simulation Engineer, I use MineTwin to build detailed operational models for both open-pit and underground mining environments. What worked well: The software excels at rapid scenario comparison, enabling us to quickly test haulage fleet sizing, identify material handling bottlenecks, and evaluate the impact of schedule adjustments on total throughput. The visual modeling tools and scenario comparison features make presenting data-driven insights to stakeholders straightforward and impactful. Limitations: Initial setup and fine-tuning custom operational logic for unique underground layouts can require a learning curve, but once configured, the software delivers highly reliable and repeatable results.

Intuitive UI and simplified Model development without loss of accuracy. Good stuff
I love the intuitive User Interface and the integration of spreadsheets for model parameterisation. I can accurately create both open pit and underground mine layouts by just using GPS data. The software is specifically designed for simulating mining operations and offers a myriad of advantages in the development process as opposed to a general simulation platform. Different mining equipment is modelled with a predefined set of properties for which I can define values and quickly have a functional model. The schedule optimizer allows me to advise clients on cost-effective operations/equipment scheduling

A practical, feature-rich tool for testing mining scenarios
I use MineTwin to build, test and compare different mining scenarios before making changes to an operating plan. The Studies functionality is especially useful because I can save a structured group of experiments and rerun them when the mine plan, fleet, schedule or operating assumptions change. What I like most is that MineTwin can model much more than haulage. It can represent the wider mining cycle, including drilling, charging, blasting, development, loading, material movement and equipment interactions. This makes it possible to investigate several connected operational questions in one model. The 2D and 3D views, timelines, dashboards and detailed results also make it easier to understand why a scenario performs as it does. The main limitation is the initial setup. Creating a reliable scenario requires good data and careful work, especially when you must bring information together from mine-planning software such as Deswik or Vulcan and other operational systems. There is also a learning curve because the software offers so many settings and capabilities. Fortunately, most of this setup and integration work only needs to be completed once, after which scenarios are much easier to update and reuse. Overall, MineTwin is a practical and highly capable tool for answering a broad range of mine-planning and operational questions.

Purpose built simulation software for mining
We use MineTwin on live client mine studies, both open pit and underground. What sets it apart is that it is built for mining out of the box, so you are not spending weeks coding basic mine logic on a blank canvas before you get to the real question. It already understands drifts, stopes, ore passes, and muck bays, and it models the full mining cycle, not just haulage. Starting a project is more configuration than a clean build. We import the mine layout from Deswik and the operational schedule from Excel and have a working model fast. It gets us to defensible answers quickly, like where the real bottleneck sits or whether a planned capital spend actually raises throughput. On one underground study it showed drilling, not haulage, was the constraint, which steered the client away from a multi-million-dollar ore-pass investment that would not have lifted production. Like any simulation it depends on good input data, but that is true of every tool in this space, and a real strength here is that the modeling process surfaces exactly where data needs to be collected or corrected. The other caveat is a smaller user community than general-purpose tools, but for mine operational work it is the tool I reach for.

OVERVIEW
MineTwin is simulation, planning and decision-support software developed for open-pit and underground mining operations. It creates detailed digital representations of mines so that operational plans, fleet configurations, infrastructure investments and new technologies can be tested before resources are committed in the real operation.
CORE CAPABILITIES
- Discrete-event simulation of mining activities, equipment movement, queues, delays and operational variability
- Automated scheduling based on production targets, equipment availability and mine constraints
- What-if analysis and side-by-side comparison of alternative scenarios
- Fleet sizing, equipment allocation and utilization analysis
- Modelling of drilling, charging, blasting, loading, hauling, crushing, hoisting and supporting activities
- Interactive 2D and 3D mine visualization
- Production forecasting, bottleneck identification and plan-feasibility assessment
- Monte Carlo experiments for evaluating uncertainty and plan robustness
- Excel reporting and imports from common engineering formats, including XLSX, TXT and DXF
DIFFERENTIATORS
MineTwin combines discrete-event simulation, linear programming and combinatorial optimization in a mining-specific environment. Unlike static spreadsheets and conventional schedules, it represents nonlinear dependencies such as equipment competition, congestion, changing haul distances, maintenance interruptions, variable cycle times and coordination delays. This allows teams to see how a decision in one part of the mine can affect the entire operation.
BUSINESS VALUE
MineTwin helps mining teams validate production plans, identify constraints, avoid unnecessary equipment purchases and compare improvement initiatives using measurable operational and financial indicators. Published MineTwin case studies report $262 million in fleet-optimization savings across six underground mines, a 7% improvement in projected mine NPV from autonomous-haulage analysis, a 10% improvement in annual planning accuracy and a 90% reduction in production-plan shortfall risk in a coal-mine study.
DEPLOYMENT AND AUDIENCE
MineTwin supports Windows and macOS and operates primarily as a desktop application, with optional server-based simulation for larger studies. It is intended for mining companies, mine planners, engineers, operations managers, technical-services teams, simulation specialists and mining consultancies.
