and Ken Esposito (KEsposito@intera.com) from Intera Geoscience and Engineering Solutions recently developed a model that couples PhreeqcRM with GoldSim using an external dynamic link library (DLL). Their model is highly flexible and efficient as it enables the user to run numerous types of simulations without the need to change the DLL, thus saving potentially significant model preparation time. This tool offers mine operators the possibility to evaluate potential mine impacts and make operational decisions in real time using scientifically-defensible mechanistic models in a probabilistic framework.
