MiningMath
About MiningMath
MiningMath uses Direct Block Scheduling (DBS) to optimise directly from the block model, eliminating the traditional multi-step workflow (pit optimisation → nested pits → pushback definition → scheduling) that has dominated the industry. Its proprietary Math Programming Solver simultaneously considers pit limits, mining sequencing, material destinations, blending, cut-off grades, geometric constraints (mining widths, bottom widths, vertical advance rates), and NPV maximisation — all in a single run.
Key capabilities include Super Best Case analysis (unconstrained NPV maximisation), single-step pushbacks and schedules, multi-destination and multi-mine optimisation, and built-in stochastic mine planning — the only commercial tool offering this capability. MiningMath is the only product in the market that does not require predefined pushbacks. Version 3.0 (2025) added Python scripting, rotated models, and enhanced data validation.
A free Community tier is available for pit optimisation. Full licences are available for mining companies, consultancies, and academic institutions.

Carlson Mining
by Carlson Software
Carlson Mining is an AutoCAD-based (and IntelliCAD-compatible) engineering and design suite consisting of multiple modules: Carlson Geology (stratigraphic and block modelling), Surface Mining (pit design, scheduling), Underground Mining (mine projections, ventilation), Basic Mining (drillhole entry, fence diagrams, mapping), and Natural Regrade (reclamation back to natural landforms).
Deswik.APEX
by Deswik
Originally developed by Polymathian (acquired by Sandvik in February 2023), APEX applies advanced mathematical optimisation to determine the optimal strategic plan for underground mines. It addresses the challenge of scheduling tens of thousands of tasks over decades while satisfying complex constraints — ventilation, drilling capacity, hoist performance, and mill throughput.
Deswik.BOLT
by Deswik
BOLT provides strategic optimisation across the entire surface mining value chain — from extraction through processing to market. Developed by Polymathian and now operating under the Deswik brand, it uses industrial mathematics to maximise NPV by making integrated decisions that consider the full material flow.
Deswik.NOVA
by Deswik
Deswik.NOVA is a unified open-pit planning platform combining mine scheduling, blending, and haulage optimisation in a single tool. It represents Deswik's latest generation of open-pit mine planning technology, extending the suite's traditionally strong underground capabilities into surface mining.
