Today, digital planning of mining operations has become one of the most in-demand tools for solving technological problems of industry. A set of tools for planning underground mining operations has been developed based on the MGIS MINEFRAME software. The tools were designed taking into account the geological and geotechnical conditions at the PIMCU, PJSC and Yakovlevsky GOK JSC mines. The specificity of these mines is the use of the downward horizontal-slice dry-fill mining method. A distinctive feature of the developed tool is a wide variation in the planning period (from long-term to short-term), which is achieved by using cyclograms to simulate technological processes of stoping and backfill operations. Furthermore, the tools available for creating and visualizing a dynamic model of mining progression provide ample opportunities to optimize and specify the mining plan.
