mine and deposit, there is further research and development
needed in the coming years. The next step is to implement
the core algorithms of the tool for other deposits, such as
ore deposits with complex grade distributions, as well as
for other mining methods and technologies. The long-term
goal is to establish a database for calculation methods, cost
data, and to make the tool more universally applicable to
various mining operations.
