A structured and robust methodology of modeling and simulation can be available through modular stochastic timed Petri nets, including experiments that allow designers to simulate the processes involved in ore production on well-founded estimates. This prerogative guides an experimental research based on real data from an Brazilian open pit mine operation. Three basic simple modules allows to achieve complex models for a real mine. The difference between simulated and measured average productivities are small when compared to an analytic model for the bottleneck and a model implemented in discrete event system language SIMAN, which also validates the simple truck dispatch rule proposed in this paper. As results of the experiment, we derived a valid simulation structure for the open-pit mining process using Petri nets. It was obtained a behavioral evaluation of the efficiency of the structure according to variations in the probability distribution function.
