Information technology (IT) have changed the way we live and work. Mining is no exception. Application of IT in mining is represented in the processing and data management, using software packages for 3D design, modeling and integration of spatial databases with application of the results. In contemporary practice the application of mining computer program is significantly expanded and can be concluded that the computer aided design has become a common way of developing mining projects. Developed as a professional software packages for the general mining applications, specialized software packages for optimization of surface or underground exploitation and specific purpose software packages for analyzing problems related to the design of mines or design of exploitation technology.The traditional methods for designing and modeling of open pits and underground mines, are based on manual calculations of mining parameters and manual graphic interpretation of maps, contour surface mine, landfill, dump sites. The basis of this method is a long time for data processing and design of optimal solutions, which significantly complicates the work.
