Create optimal stope shapes for underground mining, maximizing resource management.

Create and consider multiple possible stope designs to determine the optimal design that meets a set of strategic objectives, often tied to extracting the highest possible economic value from a deposit. It determines the optimal underground mining areas in the form of stope designs, significantly reducing time taken compared to other methods.
