Mine Water Balance, Water Quality and Waste Management Modeling

GoldSim allows you to create realistic models of mine systems in order to carry out risk analyses, evaluate potential environmental impacts, support strategic planning, and optimize operations. GoldSim combines the flexibility of a general-purpose and highly-graphical probabilistic simulation framework with specialized modules to support mass transport modeling, reliability engineering, financial modeling and optimization. With GoldSim, you can then predict future behavior, identify which factors have the greatest influence, answer "What-if?" questions, and evaluate alternatives. GoldSim is not only powerful and flexible (so that it can accurately represent mine systems), but GoldSim also facilitates construction of graphical and highly transparent models that can be easily explained to decision-makers and stakeholders.

GoldSim has been used extensively in the mining industry worldwide to address a broad range of issues, including:

Mine water management;
Contaminant transport and environmental compliance;
Evaluation of mine closure options;
Mine material management and logistics;and
Reliability and throughput analysis of processing facilities.

GoldSim simulation software is used throughout the world by mining companies such as Alcan, Anglo American, Anglo Gold, Barrick Gold, Newmont Gold, Rio Tinto, and Teck Cominco, as well as by leading mining consulting firms such as AMEC Earth & Environmental, CH2M Hill, Golder Associates, Knight Piesold, MWH, SKM, URS and Water Management Consultants.

Some examples of how GoldSim has been used to address mining issues include the following:
