Stefano Utili

Founder and CEO of OptimalSlope

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.

What is SOT?

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.

SOT – Explainer Video

SOT is the industry’s only strategic financial optimisation tool for both surface and underground mines that maximises productivity and profitability outcomes by optimising the net present value (NPV).

Copper-gold miner boosts strategic planning value and maximises productivity with SOT

The SOT optimised schedule for Copper-gold Miner generated dependencies enforcing slope constraints, while mining in locations that maximised value but also obeyed the ore type quantity constraints.
