Case Study: Agnico Eagle achieves $1.4M savings and higher gold output with Dassault Systèmes GEOVIA

Agnico Eagle

Agnico Eagle, a major gold producer, sought to improve the accuracy and efficiency of its mine planning and operations at its Meadowbank site. The company engaged Dassault Systèmes and its GEOVIA software suite, including GEMS and MineSched, to centralize data management and streamline its complex planning processes.

Dassault Systèmes implemented its GEMS and MineSched solutions, providing critical onsite training and support. This enabled Agnico Eagle to bring all optimization and design work in-house, perform rapid scenario analyses, and significantly improve ore control accuracy. The results were substantial, including a dump design that saved $1.4 million, a production increase of 70,000 ounces of gold, and the elimination of four contractor trucks due to more efficient scheduling.
