Global Mine Design (GMD) is a mine engineering firm that integrates geomechanical principles into mine planning to produce optimized and economic mine designs. GMD focuses on understanding ground material behavior and uses this technical knowledge to select successful mining methods that drive decisions and maximize production efficiency. GMD's in-house Design Optimized Flowcharts map out extraction sequence options with clearly defined risks and backup options to improve risk mitigation for planners and supervisors.

2. Investors require increasingly complex financial
sensitivity analyses to be undertaken before
approving new mine design plans. However,
if an orebody evaluation is underweight on
the technical understanding of orebody
geomechanics, the mining plan will suffer at
the expense of both time and cost.
Potential issues range from overestimated
recovery percentage causing write-down
of expected income, to a complete loss of
revenue in one or more mining blocks.
GMD is unique in focusing on ground material
and behaviour when selecting successful
mining methods. Our philosophy places
this information back into the mine plan to
drive future decisions throughout the mining
of whole extraction zones. Our goal is to
produce optimised designs that maximise
production efficiency by saving cost and time.
Good engineering sense is about building
up options ahead of time. Working with your
financial modellers and planning engineers,
GMD can add valuable insight into key stages
of budget and Life of Mine plans to improve
risk mitigation strategies.
At the mine sequencing stages, our in-house
Design Optimised Flowcharts™ map out the
proposed extraction sequence options with
risks clearly defined and back-up options
provided in a concise manner for both
planners and operations supervisors to use.
Whatever stage your venture is in, from concepts
to fully established assets, GMD provides a
complete range of mine engineering, blasting,
and geomechanical services.
Global Mine Design Ltd (GMD) takes Life of Mine planning beyond
just tonnes and grade analysis. We approach mine design and planning
by integrating geomechanical principles into the planning process.
Focussing on the long-term rockmass response to mining, we provide
technical understanding of orebodies that is vital for safe, productive,
and economic mine designs.

“If an evaluation is underweight on the technical
understanding of orebody geomechanics, the mining
plan is likely to suffer at the expense of both time and
cost due to inefficient understanding of critical issues.”
