Case Study: OceanaGold achieves 85% faster scheduling and optimised mine performance with RPMGlobal's OPMS

OceanaGold optimises mine performance with OPMS

OceanaGold, a mid‑tier global gold miner operating in the Philippines, New Zealand and the US, needed to modernize mine planning at its Macraes Gold Project amid tighter market conditions. Facing slow, error‑prone scheduling that relied on 10+ Excel spreadsheets and lacked transparency and auditability, OceanaGold selected RPMGlobal’s Open Pit Metals XPAC Solution (OPMS) to standardize and optimize life‑of‑mine planning.

RPMGlobal implemented and configured OPMS in three days and OceanaGold was fully autonomous within a week, seeing immediate results. OPMS delivered an 85% reduction in schedule production time (schedules now produced in days instead of weeks), enables updated schedules in about five minutes, optimizes trucking to cut maintenance costs, integrates previously disparate systems, and increased new‑recruit productivity by ~80%, driving measurable bottom‑line improvements at Macraes.
