September 2025 will mark the arrival of Minemax Scheduler 7.8, the latest evolution of our industry-leading strategic mine planning solution. This upcoming release introduces powerful new features designed to make planning more flexible, efficient, and aligned with real-world mining challenges.

With a focus on capital expenditure modelling, operational control, haulage, and usability, version 7.8 ensures mine planners can create even more practical, robust, and achievable strategic schedules.

Smarter Capital Investment Modelling

We’ve enhanced Scheduler’s powerful CAPEX modelling by allowing CAPEX to expand minimum, cumulative, difference, and capacity constraints. You’ll also be able to phase investments over multiple periods, making it easier to align strategic schedules with financial planning and staged developments.

Greater Operational Control

For those managing complex pit groups, new maximum benches per pit-group constraints have been added to help control the vertical rate of advance.

Haulage & Usability

The new version enhances haulage modelling by calculating fastest-path distances, giving you sharper accuracy in cost forecasting—especially in contract mining environments.

And with a host of usability improvements—from bulk colour editing to smarter scenario management—working in Minemax Scheduler will be more intuitive than ever.

Enhanced Reporting

Expect new export options, tighter integration with Datamine formats, and more detailed reporting fields, giving you the insights you need to make confident decisions.

Stay Tuned

Minemax Scheduler 7.8 is just around the corner. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your CAPEX modelling, improve operational oversight, or streamline your reporting, this release is designed to deliver real-world value.
