The Three Phases of Mine Planning

By GEOVIA Team
This is Part Three in a series on Strategic Mine Planning by Darrienne Thobaven,
one of our Strategic Mine Planning Knowledge Consultants. Part One focused on
Putting the Strategy Back into Strategic Mine Planning. Part Two discussed Taking
the Pain out of Tactical Planning.

The first phase results in practical NPV-based schedules. The schedules include pit
