    Case Study - MineSched at Sebuku

    Uploaded by

    Blank Kusuma
    This document describes the application of MineSched software for mine planning and scheduling at Sebuku Coal Mine in Indonesia. Key points: 1. MineSched was implemented to improve the planning and scheduling process, which was previously done using spreadsheets and lacked validation and visualization. 2. MineSched is used to schedule waste mining and coal mining operations based on the pit design, block model, and equipment productivity. 3. The outputs including schedules, reports, graphs and animations provide better communication and validation of the mine plan compared to the previous spreadsheet system.

    Case Study

    Application of MineSched at Sebuku

    April 2007

    Introduction
    Straits Asia Resources:
    Part of the Straits group of companies.
    Recently listed on Singapore Stock Exchange
    Operates Sebuku Coal Mine in South Kalimantan
    Objectives of this Presentation:
    1. Describe the geology, conditions and mining methods at
    Sebuku
    2. Discuss the implementation of MineSched and how it is
    used in planning and Scheduling at Sebuku

    Location and History

    CCOW awarded 1994


    Coal mining commenced December 1997
    First Shipment January 1998
    Mining Contractor Bukit Makmur Mandiri
    Utama (BUMA)
    Plant Contractor Leightons Contracting
    Indonesia (LCI)

    Pulau Sebuku
    35km from north to south,
    10km at widest point.
    Topography:
    -series of hills to east.
    -freshwater swamps to west.
    Western coast is bordered by
    mangrove forests.
    Up to 2006, most coal mined
    from the relatively shallow pits
    to the south.
    Remaining known reserves are
    in and to the west of the Tanah
    Putih pit.

    Production
    Coal Production

    Increasing production,
    resources and reserves.
    Resource convertible upon
    land use redesignation.
    Resources and Reserves

    High volatile bituminous coal.

    Ash:
    Sulphur:
    Calorific Value:
    Total Moisture:

    9.3%
    0.7%
    6,300 (gad)

    Geology Cross Section

    Fault

    Geology
    Tanah Putih pit is located in
    freshwater swamp:
    Lower than high tide level
    5-20m overlying mud

    Significant NE-SW oriented


    normal fault system with
    displacement up to 30m.
    Dip 5 to 10 degrees to west
    Strata consists of weak
    mudstone and shale with
    interbedded coal seams.

    Pit Limit

    1. Mining Method Bund


    Mangrove Swamp

    Perimeter Bund

    2. Mining Method Mud

    Mud Cell

    Bund

    Mud Face

    3. Mining Method - Waste


    Mud Mining: Digger positioned on
    hard floor and pulls mud down.

    Equipment
    PC1250 excavators (8 to 9 operating units)
    HD785 / HD465 trucks (>35 operating units)

    4. Mining Method - Coal


    Equipment
    PC400 excavators (4 operating units)
    Volvo FM12 trucks (> 20 operating units)

    Wash
    Bypass High Ash
    Bypass Low Ash

    Mining Method - Pit Dewatering


    Settling Pond and Liming

    Sump and Pumps

    Mine Planning
    Constraints that determine mining and dumping strategy:
    1. Western limit is not an economic limit (land use designation)
    2. Likelihood of future extensions to western permits
    3. Working Space in Pit and expanding production
    4. Management of Pit Water
    5. Expose multiple seams for blending

    Mine Planning Strategy


    Pit divided into Strips (70m)
    and Blocks (up to 400m)
    Open up pit along the strike
    Terraced mine faced exposing
    different seams.
    Main access road and ramps to
    pit floor.
    Mud and upper interburden
    dumped to out of pit dumps.
    Dump overburden in-pit between
    ramps as the pit progresses.
    Advance face at lowest area
    during dry season and install
    pumping infrastructure.

    Mine Planning Strategy


    Mud cells constructed well back from
    mine face to minimise risk of failure.
