GeoMine
About GeoMine
GeoMine is a standalone, fully integrated mining software platform with its own proprietary CAD environment (the Foundation module). It currently consists of 19 independently licensed modules including GeoModeler (geological and block modelling with dynamic anisotropy), FlowPit (Lerchs-Grossmann pit optimiser), QuickPit (parametric open-pit designer), Stopemizer (stope limit optimiser), Cavemizer (cave optimiser), iScheduler-OP and iScheduler-UG (open-pit and underground schedulers), uCAD (underground design), HaulCalc (fleet budgeting), DigiSIM (haulage simulator), OreChaser (AI-based infill drilling optimiser), OreController (grade control), OptimCut (cut-off grade optimiser), and Optunimizer (open-pit to underground transition optimiser).
GeoMine claims a block model universe of 2^40 x 2^40 x 2^40 blocks — significantly larger than traditional mining software. The platform features a hybrid 2-in-1 modelling kernel supporting both 3D block modelling and 2D gridded seam modelling. Flexible licensing ranges from weekly to perpetual, with modular purchasing. GeoMine competes on integration (all-in-one with no data silos) and cost-effectiveness.

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.
