Studio NPVS+ is Datamine’s next-generation open pit mine planning software, purpose-built for strategic open pit optimization.
It delivers faster, more reliable results across pit optimisation, pushback generation, and life-of-mine scheduling – all within one integrated environment.
With its intuitive interface and modern solver technology, Studio NPVS+ helps engineers maximise project value while reducing time.
Unlike older pit-shell tools, Studio NPVS+ integrates pit optimisation, scheduling, and reporting in a single design environment.
It functions as both an NPV optimisation tool and a comprehensive mine planning platform – powered by Maroma technologies to optimise material movement, cut-off grades, and stockpiling simultaneously.
This combination ensures faster, auditable results for every strategic mine planning cycle.
Yes. During your transition period, you can run both Studio NPVS and Studio NPVS+ in parallel.
This lets you validate results, train your team, and move at your own pace – ensuring a smooth upgrade and continuity in your strategic mine planning workflows.
Because both solutions share the same data format and structure, Studio NPVS+ integrates seamlessly with your existing open pit mine planning software environment – no data rebuilds required.
No coding is required. Studio NPVS+ features an intuitive interface designed for mining engineers and geologists.
Its simplified workflow and visual validation tools make setup and analysis easy – so your team can focus on insights, not scripting.
That means faster adoption and more efficient strategic mine planning cycle.
Studio NPVS+ workflow and toolset allow completing a complete cycle from a resource model to life-of-mine plan up to five times faster than traditional solutions.
Engineers can go from a resource model to an optimised plan in two days instead of two weeks – freeing up valuable time for analysis and decision-making.
The system’s parallel processing lets teams test multiple scenarios rapidly, improving agility and adding value.
Studio NPVS+ supports a full range of strategic mine planning studies – from due diligence and PFS/FS to life-of-mine planning.
It’s ideal for cut-off grade optimisation, stockpile management, and scenario testing, helping engineers assess economic impacts quickly.
Whether you’re evaluating investment options or scheduling long-term strategies, Studio NPVS+ ensures accurate, data-driven results.
Yes. Studio NPVS+ is built for scale and complexity.
It handles multi-pit operations and large datasets with parallel constraints on quantities, qualities, and locations – tasks that challenge conventional solvers.
The advanced Maroma technologies ensures robust open pit optimisation and reliable scheduling for even the most demanding operations.
Studio NPVS+ runs on Maroma, the most comprehensive mine planning solver available.
It enables simultaneous optimisation of cut-off grades, stockpiling, and material movement, creating truly optimised, high-value schedules.
This makes it one of the most advanced NPV optimisation tools for open pit mining.
Studio NPVS+ incorporates advanced pushback generation toolset that automates phase design while maintaining operational practicality.
Engineers can rapidly generate, assess, and refine pushbacks based on both economic and geotechnical factors – ensuring the highest-value mining sequence for every pit stage.
Studio NPVS+ offers a unified open pit mine planning software environment that connects pit design and scheduling tools within a single interface.
It enables engineers to build, optimise, and compare open cut planning scenarios rapidly.
This integrated workflow improves accuracy and speed in mine scheduling optimisation, reducing manual rework and improving operational insight.
