MineMarket 5.6.1 delivers powerful stockpile blending functionality, a range of performance enhancements, and usability improvements across inventory, logistics, marketing, and integration workflows.
MineMarket’s new stockpile blending functionality makes it possible for planners to optimise across multiple periods with tighter controls. They can line up quality and tonnage to days or shifts—reducing last-minute rehandling and spec drift. Forced usage and minimum reclaim prevent impractical blends, while desirability steers the optimiser toward higher-value or operationally convenient stock first. Faster calculations and inline validation shorten the plan–check–adjust loop, so teams react quickly to changing assays or inventories. The net result is fewer penalty risks, smoother despatch, and higher realised value from the same stock.
Logistics and transportation workflows now benefit from a simplified despatch creation process directly from despatch orders, with template-driven selection and auto-linking of despatch orders to packages. Additional usability enhancements include a new despatch order filter in discrete unit workflows, the option to hide container emptying UI elements, and new paste features for bulk data entry in certificates and exchange rate tables. Sales and invoicing processes have also been refined, including the ability to create an invoice directly from a despatch order.
This release also focuses on optimising system performance, particularly in database indexing and despatch order processing. Key gains include faster loading of stock balance contributor data, quicker analyte specification retrieval, and more efficient recalculation of despatch order snapshots. Stockpile state archiving is now significantly faster, and redundant lookups during dry mass calculations have been removed.
Finally, the release delivers numerous improvements to integration tools and system setup. New AUR adaptors streamline the import of prices, mine source surveys, and stockpile contributors, with improved handling of rounding and null values. B2MML adaptor stability has been enhanced through better error messaging and logic fixes. System administration also sees improvements to preferences and editor screen layouts, further supporting a more consistent and efficient user experience.
