Importance of mine planning.

The paper's conclusions are summarised with emphasis on the reasons for failure, the results of not integrating the different technical disciplines involved, and the importance of collaboration and integration. Mine planning is crucial in order to have reliable, transparent, auditable and code-compatible mineral resources and reserves. Detailed feasibility studies in accordance with codes and standards need to be undertaken with sufficient time for accurate strategic and tactical decisions to be made. Database integration and interdisciplinary collaboration should be adopted as a basic principle at a time when technology is so strong in today's mining, and 3D mine planning software systems should also be widely used by engineers. Integration and sharing of different systems and software in today's mining has become very important.
