This paper describes how a computer program handles the problems encountered in developing a mining budget from a large number of individual and widely scattered ore deposits.Among the difficulties overcome by the use of the program are constantly changing production forecasts requiring reworking of the budget, scheduling of the capacities of the offsite loading facilities, production rates requiring the mining of several properties concurrently while still maintaining quality control, and pressing time limits on several leases.
