Overview of Deswik GO
Deswik GO is a specialized module within the Deswik Suite, a comprehensive mining software platform developed by Deswik for mine planning, design, and optimization. Specifically, Deswik GO focuses on strategic open-pit mine planning, enabling users to optimize pit designs and production schedules simultaneously using advanced mathematical algorithms. It helps maximize net present value (NPV) by evaluating multiple design options for greenfield (new) and brownfield (existing) operations, integrating tactical planning results for holistic decision-making.
Key capabilities include:
- Rapid multi-pit optimization to assess mine shape, phases, and sequencing.
- Integration with other Deswik tools for end-to-end value chain analysis.
- Support for importing tactical schedules to refine strategic plans.
This tool was developed in partnership with Alicanto Labs and is particularly useful for open-cut (surface) mining operations.
Deswik GO in Version 2025.2
As of October 27, 2025, the Deswik Suite (which includes Deswik GO) is on version 2025.1, released in the first half of 2025. This update introduced over 30 enhancements, 20 new features, and 15 user-requested improvements to streamline workflows, such as improved data handling and visualization for mine planners. Details on these can be explored via Deswik’s H1 2025 webinar.
There is no publicly available information on a 2025.2 release as of this date—it may be an upcoming patch, a planned update, or a specific build not yet announced.
