AMEC has chosen to increase its use of Maptek Vulcan software for mine planning and mine design applications.

AMEC said that Vulcan is a proven 3D geological modeling and mine planning package which remains at the forefront of innovation in mining technology solutions.

The company claims that a key reason for selecting Vulcan as one of its software programs of choice is the flexibility of the package for assessing deposits for the optimal mining scenario. Whether open pit or underground mining, Vulcan fits the bill.

The group claims another driver for choosing the system is that many of its clients are asking for Vulcan.

Vulcan is instrumental in resource estimation and underground mine planning applications including survey, geological modelling, drill & blast, grade control and geostatistical tasks.
