XTANT
Go beyond mine planning. The first integrated platform for strategic mine planning. An assistant runs through every tool — optimise, design, schedule and oversee the whole operation, often just by asking. From block model to boardroom.
One platform your engineers build on — and your managers steer by.
The full 3D plan: analysed, edited and optimised, with intelligent features built into every tool.
Design and optimise your full mine plan in one platform
Block models, pit shells, pushbacks and schedules — all editable, all optimisable, and built on the latest technology. From optimal pit to operable pushbacks to full schedule, with an intelligent assistant at your side.
Navigate, evaluate and command your multiple assets
See across multiple mines — their finances, operations and every scenario your engineers send up — in easy, dynamic 3D, with tools to cut straight to the answer. Then watch it all unfold through satellites, augmented reality and living digital twins. No engineering seat required.
Everything your mine plan needs, in one.
XTANT brings pit optimization, phase design, scheduling and visualization together into a single connected ecosystem - one license, one workflow, one team speaking the same language end to end.
One ecosystem
Pit optimisation, phase design, scheduling and visualisation together into a single connected ecosystem — one license, one workflow and one team.
Proven math, in 3D
The power and rigour of decades old and new optimisation science from Kenneth F. Lane, Lerchs & Grossman, Linear programming, Dynamic Programing, pseudoflow, AI and others brought into a moder 3D workspace
Modern technology
Built Intelligent from the ground up, with real 3D interaction and planning tools designed for the way teams work today.
One platform, one workflow.
✦ Every tool, advancedXTANT brings together two connected environments. XTANT COMET Studio provides the engineering workspace for optimisation, design and mine planning, while XTANT Management delivers visualisation, operational intelligence and executive oversight — all within a single ecosystem built around COMET.
XTANT Engineering
Mine planning, optimisation and design tools for engineering teams.
XTANT COMET Studio
The planner's workbench: build, edit and interrogate strategic mine plans in full 3D, tightly integrated with COMET. The core every other engineering tool feeds into.
XTANT Pit
Finds the economically optimal ultimate pit straight from the block model, using a fast modern Lerchs-Grossmann solver.
XTANT Short
Sequences the coming weeks and months to hit grade, tonnage and blending targets without breaking the long-term plan.
XTANT Mid
Bridges strategy and execution, turning the long-term vision into workable quarterly and annual programmes.
XTANT Design
Turns optimised pit shells into operable, buildable pushbacks — proper working widths, ramps and staged geometry.
XTANT Management
Visualisation, Reconciling and orchestration and executive oversight.
XTANT COMET Executive
COMET retuned for management: the full 3D plan with richer visualisation and scenario tools, minus the engineering edit tools. No COMET seat required.
XTANT AR
Brings the plan off the screen: walk your pit, phases and schedule in augmented reality, on site or in the room.
XTANT Twin
A living digital replica of the operation, kept in step with the plan and the pit as reality unfolds.
XTANT Heimdall
The watchman of the operation: fuses satellite, surface and in-situ data into near-real-time intelligence — and drives reconciliation and replanning.
XTANT Partners
Strategic partners delivering powerful and meaningful tools for the mining industry.
COMET Optimal Scheduler
The optimisation engine that schedules the plan, from COMET Strategy. A separate product today, working alongside Studio; deeper integration with XTANT planned.
One intelligence, woven through every tool.
XTANT is Intelligent from the ground up — a single LLM assistant runs across the whole platform, from COMET Studio to Heimdall. Ask instead of hunt, have scenarios suggested, and never lose the thread between planning rounds. We believe it's the first platform to bring this to strategic mine planning, and being first is an advantage worth pressing.
Navigate by asking
Talk to any tool in plain language — "show phase 7 with copper 1–3%" filters, jumps and highlights in one line. No hunting through menus.
Suggest scenarios
It proposes long-term optimisation scenarios worth running, so you explore more of the value space than you'd think to test by hand.
Never forget
Remembers your assumptions, decisions and context across sessions — so nothing slips between one planning round and the next.
Private by design
Sends the model your data's shape, never its values — with sensitive financials gated behind tiered access.
Same maths. Same methods. Now, enhanced.
XTANT changes nothing about the engineering you rely on. The optimisation, the scheduling, the geology — same rigorous methods, same precision, every number auditable. The platform never makes the call or invents a figure. It helps your engineers drive the tools and explore far more of the plan than they could by hand — so the work is faster, and the plans land closer to the optimum.
What never changes
- =The optimisation is still Lerchs-Grossmann — the same provably optimal solver.
- =Schedules obey the same constraints and economics you set.
- =Every figure is deterministic, traceable and fully auditable.
- =The methods your engineers already trust, untouched.
What it adds
- +Navigate by asking, instead of hunting through menus.
- +Run more scenarios, faster — explore ground you'd never have time to test by hand.
- +Better, faster plans that land closer to the true optimum.
- +An assistant that remembers, checks and never forgets.
Same precision — reached faster, and pushed closer to the optimum.
One cycle. One objective.
Each stage of the plan feeds the next, and operations loop back into replanning. At the centre of it all: maximise value.
Built alongside COMET Strategy.
XTANT COMET extends COMET, the strategic mine-planning system it reads and writes. Space RS builds the platform; COMET Strategy is the partner whose engine sits at its heart — one pipeline, from resource to reserve.
