About Us

Minemax specializes in mine planning and scheduling solutions and has its headquarters in Perth, Australia, a global mining hub. Our solutions cover the whole spectrum of strategic and operational mine planning, and they help mining companies achieve production requirements, maximize resource utilization, and optimize business value.

Our company was founded in 1996 with the vision that mining companies should have access to easy-to-use software applications for creating practical and economically optimal plans. Since then, Minemax has been at the forefront with its product innovation track record:

  • Minemax Scheduler is the original solution for strategic planning and has set the standard for strategic schedule optimization at mid-to-large-size mining companies world-wide.
  • iGantt is the first product in the market to integrate a Gantt chart, 3D mine visualization, and dynamic reporting in a single application.
  • Tempo is currently the only product in the market for integrated and optimized mine planning and scheduling in a collaborative environment.

Our software is now used in over 35 countries by companies including Anglo, Barrick, BHP Billiton, Newmont, Rio Tinto, Vale and Xstrata, making us a leading vendor in the market for such systems.

At the strategic level, Minemax software is used for strategic business-level optimization that considers existing operations, potential new projects, and potential acquisition targets.

At the operational level, Minemax software manages the day-to-day scheduling of mining production to meet targets and provide a consistent feed of product from a mine to the process plant or downstream logistics.

For mine planning that integrates both the strategic and operational levels, Minemax software translates strategic plans into optimal operational plans in a collaborative environment. Thereafter Minemax software enables the operational plan changes to be managed while achieving mine plan compliance and preserving strategic value.
