Block Models
- Freely disclosed datasets
MiningMath allows you to learn, practice, and demonstrate, by showing any scenario previously ran the concepts of Strategy Optimization using the full capabilities of using only Marvin Deposit. This version is freely available to mining professionals, researchers, and students who want to develop their abilities considering this standard block model.
Marvin Deposit
DB Information
Below are listed the default parameters for Marvin according to the adaptions made in our formatted model.
Block size = 27000 m³
X = 30 m
Y= 30 m
Z = 30 m
AU - Selling Price = 12 $/g
AU - Selling Cost = 0.2 $/g
AU - Recovery = 0.60.
CU - Selling Price = 2000 $/ton
CU - Selling Cost = 720 $/ton
CU - Recovery = 0.88.
Processing Cost = 4.0 $/ton
Mining Cost = 0.9 $/ton
Discount Rate = 10% per year
Default Density = 2.75 t/m3
Default Slope Angle = 45 degrees
Economic Values
Process Function = BlockSize * Density * [GradeCU/100 * RecoveryCu * (SellingPriceCU – SellingCostCU) + GradeAU * RecoveryCu * (SellingPriceAU – SellingCostAU) - (ProcessingCost + MiningCost)]
Waste Function = BlockSize * Density * MiningCost
McLaughlin Deposit
DB Information

Block size
X = 7.62 m (25 ft)
Y= 7.62 m (25 ft)
Z = 6.096 m (15 ft)
AU - Selling Price = 900 $/oz
AU - Recovery = 0.90.
Processing Cost = 19 $/ton.
Mining Cost = 1.32 $/ton.
Discount Rate = 15% per year.
Default Density = 3.0 t/m3
Default Slope Angle = 45 degrees
Economic Values
Process Function = BlockSize * Density * [GradeAU * RecoveryCu * (SellingPriceAU) - (ProcessingCost + MiningCost)]
Waste Function = BlockSize * Density * MiningCost
