Underground metal mining has long suffered the inability to effectively design, plan and control the mining process due to the lack of an effective production simulator. This paper reports on the application of simulation models for teleremote mining systems in underground operations of INCO Limited, Ontario Division, Canada. In order to evaluate teleremote mining, research has centred on the adaptation and extension of state-of-the art simulation techniques to consider the interaction between mining methods and machine systems (for drilling, blasting and loading). The AutoMod(TM) PC-simulation software by AutoSimulations Inc., a powerful and interactive three-dimensional industrial simulation and animation-modelling environment, has been adapted for the purpose of simulating teleremote mining. Machine modules have been designed to model development and production drills, explosives loaders, LHD machines and other materials handling system components. The software allows the integration of equipment performance and stoping sequence through its engineering-oriented language to model complex materials flow logics.
