Optimize underground stope geometries using rock mechanics and stability analysis.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools for underground mining engineers to design optimal stope geometries. By integrating ore body geometry with rock mass properties, the server allows for precise stability assessments and extraction planning. Use analyze_stope_stability to verify if a proposed void is safe, calculate_optimal_dimensions to find the best size within ore body bounds, and get_extraction_ratio to quantify recovered volume. It also includes generate_stability_chart for sensitivity analysis across different rock mass ratings and wall angles.

Is a stope with dimensions 20x10x15, RMR of 65, a 70 degree hanging wall, and a 75 degree footwall stable?

The stope is stable with a stability factor of 1.45 and a low failure risk.

What are the optimal dimensions for an ore body with bounds minX:0, maxX:50, minY:0, maxY:30, minZ:0, maxZ:20, an RMR of 50, and a target dilution limit of 10%?

The optimal dimensions are 35m length, 12m width, and 15m height, with a predicted dilution of 8.5%.

Calculate the extraction ratio for a stope of 15x10x10 in an ore body with a volume of 5000 cubic meters.

The extraction ratio is 3.0%, with a recovered volume of 1500 cubic meters and 3500 cubic meters of wasted volume.

You can use the `analyze_stope_stability` tool. Provide the stope dimensions, the Rock Mass Rating (RMR), and the hanging wall and footwall angles to receive a stability factor and risk assessment.
