It helps mining companies, engineers and consultants test operational plans in a risk-free digital environment before committing equipment, capital or production resources in the mine. Mine plans often rely on averages and static calculations that cannot fully represent congestion, queues, equipment interactions, breakdowns, shift rules and ore-flow constraints. MineTwin uses discrete-event simulation to reproduce these dependencies and show how a mine is likely to perform under realistic conditions. Users can simulate months or years of operation in minutes, compare scenarios and identify changes that could improve throughput, cost and plan reliability. The software is designed for mine planners, mining engineers, operations-improvement teams, project evaluators and simulation consultants. It supports feasibility studies, mine design, capital evaluation, operational planning and continuous improvement. Typical applications include validating annual and quarterly plans, determining production capacity, finding bottlenecks, sizing fleets, comparing haulage systems, evaluating autonomous equipment and assessing infrastructure changes. MineTwin can model development and production activities, drilling, blasting, charging, loading, hauling, dumping, crushing, conveying, rail transport, ore passes, stockpiles, hoisting, maintenance and supporting activities. Users can represent equipment availability, speeds, payloads, priorities, dispatching rules, shifts, planned downtime and stochastic delays. This captures cyclical dependencies and competition for shared resources that are difficult to evaluate accurately in spreadsheets. A visual scenario-management environment keeps inputs organized and consistent. Mine layouts, transport networks, areas, equipment, materials, schedules and operating rules can be edited through structured property panels. Synchronized 2D and 3D views help users verify models, inspect equipment movement and communicate scenario behaviour. Built-in checks highlight incomplete or inconsistent inputs, and selected geometric issues can be corrected automatically. Data can be created in MineTwin or imported from Excel, text and DXF files, GIS data, mine-surveying tools and enterprise asset-management systems. This reduces setup effort and lets teams work with information they already maintain. Scenario data and detailed results can be exported to Excel for further analysis and reporting. MineTwin Simulation supports deterministic and stochastic experiments, operational visualization, resource analysis and scenario comparison. Monte Carlo experiments test plan robustness when delays, failures and operating conditions vary. Users can analyze production and development, plan attainment, equipment availability and utilization, work-in-progress, haulage distances, delays, costs and other performance measures. Gantt charts and event logs make results transparent and help explain why a scenario succeeds or falls short. MineTwin Planner adds operational and mid-term scheduling. It can generate schedules while considering production targets, grades, activity dependencies, equipment requirements, haulage distances, maintenance and blast calendars. Simulation can reveal congestion, starvation, blockages, queues or resource conflicts that may make a static schedule unachievable. Teams can adjust assumptions and rerun the scenario before issuing the plan. MineTwin supports open-pit, underground and continuous-mining applications. A locally licensed instance can operate without an internet connection; cloud-enabled options may also be available. Current documentation covers Windows and macOS, and a 30-day trial is available. Amalgama Software Design and its implementation partners provide licensing, implementation assistance, custom configuration and technical support.

I like I can rely on the drag and drob along with text to define propeties of units in my system. > > **Cons**: nothing so far. All features seemed great. I love how I can effectively simulate mining operations without the process being too recource intensive > > The model development process is more interactive instead of being extremely technical in using a coding language. I think this allows accessibility to a wider market ----- ### "The Ultimate Digital Twin Software for Mining and Operations" — 5.0/5 > **Devon** | *19 August 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I love most is how it makes incredibly complex simulations feel easy. The 3D modeling is beautiful and makes explaining projects to clients an absolute breeze. It easily handles massive amounts of data and complex math without slowing down. Building out infrastructure layouts, routing logic, and testing different scenarios is smooth, fast, and highly accurate. > > **Cons**: Honestly, it is hard to find anything to complain about.
