Please join us to learn how SOT and OptimalSlope can improve the strategic planning of open pit mines. Stefano Utili and Lorrie Fava will present a case study of the McLaughlin gold mine.
The presentation will be 45 minutes, followed by 15 minutes for discussion.
Date: Friday 6 September 2024 Time: 10:00am PDT | 1:00pm EDT Registration: Register via MS Teams

Lorrie is the Product Manager for SOT and Attain at RPM, working in the Sudbury office. Previously, she was Founder and President of Revolution Mining Software, and Director of the Decision Support Software centre at MIRARCO, Laurentian University. She has a PhD in Computer Science and has worked on several mine planning decision support research projects over the past two decades.
Stefano is the Founder and CEO of OptimalSlope and a Professor of Geotechnical Engineering at Newcastle University (UK). He is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineering. Prof. Utili (PhD in Geotechnical Engineering) is a member of the International Technical Committee 208 “Slope stability in engineering practice,” and serves on the Editorial Board of prestigious journals including Engineering Geology, Rock Mechanics & Rock Engineering, Landslides, and has published extensively on the assessment of slope stability and the design of mine pitwalls.
As a comprehensive mine schedule optimisation tool, SOT uses an evolutionary search algorithm to generate optimised schedules that maximise the NPV of any resource. SOT is purpose-built for scenario planning and comparisons. This allows mine planners to analyse multiple strategies and inform the selection of alternative, high-NPV schedules. Operations can extract more value from their resource with an NPV optimised schedule, mitigating risk and decreasing the payback period.
