ERP systems with multi-faceted information.Visually depict an acceptable level of detail.Integration between information domains.

• Prospection

• Conceptual Studies

• Pre-feasibility studies

• Feasibility Studies

• Mine development

• Mining operations

• Mine closure

Mining Operations include:

hamstrung by indirect planning and costing &Inefficient cost allocation.

Planning and Controlling the costAt a level of detail to suit the miners

MineRP’s approach to WBS is based on: •Mining work place location•Mining technical activities(as defined in the planning process)

The WBS can now dictate A corresponding cost code structure for planningIn a conventional ERP systemCost control of resourcesTechnical activities Miner’s level of detail and granularity

Accelerates the processes of planning and execution

by using repeatable design templates

representing specific mining methods and activities

The system allows for cost control within the ERP system, in an integrated fashion for both core and support mining processes allowing for functionality such as:• A works order as an equivalent to a mining instruction;• A picking list as a survey measuring list;• A purchase order as a short term operational; • Daily bookings of mining activity; • Periodic survey measurements

Speeding up the planning processEnabling the accountants to keep pace with mining’s dynamics

Tying back to MineRP GeoInventoryConnected patents

MineRP’s approach to WBS provides for continual collection and assimilation of data to enable the tracking of change in state and status of the mineral deposit over time This is required to manage a mineral deposit as inventory and stock items familiar to an inventory management system (MineRP’s first patent)

Accomplished by generating inventory management system transactions based on state and/or status changes of the corresponding mineral resources and reservesWe can publish a resource and reserve statement from the ERP system, updated as often as new information is made available (typically from month end survey measuring)
