TAP-Openpit is a menu-driven software package providing preliminary mine planning and scheduling capabilities for mineral deposits that will be mined using open pit techniques. Application programs are included for entry of topography and other bounding conditions, defining pit-slope geometry, user-defined or automatic bench expansion, generating ultimate pits using floating cones, and reporting in-place and recoverable reserves. Pit geometry can be varied by bench, radial sector, zone, or rocktype; and cone modeling input parameters include slope geometry, grade cutoffs, blending constraints, and estimated block data.
