"During last quarter 2011, following fifteen years of consulting to listed mining companies on multi-commodity open pit mining projects across sub-Saharan Africa, Tacmin Madini expertise was challenged with a severe workload that amongst others involved pit optimisations of 16 open pit mining projects. Notwithstanding exacting deadlines from a number of clients, the resistance to change from pit optimisers in use, familiarisation with new software and the unknowns, I decided to apply ThreeDify’s Flowpit parallel with other optimisers used by the company.
In less than one month, I was confident that Flowpit together with the solid backup and support of the ThreeDify team, are fully capable of conforming to Tacmin’s daunting requirements and in less than three months, we were able to:
- Interface ThreeDify software into all mining software in use by the company.
- Executing pit optimisations with large block models and multiple variables in the shortest possible time.
- Have unlimited control over reporting capabilities.
Our clients demand solid reliable results suitable for rolling out the budget forecast and the “what if’’ scenarios offered by most software solution providers do not live up to our expectations. However, ThreeDify software has given us the competitive edge in doing so."
