## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for modeling the operational lifespan of mining assets. It simulates how finite geological reserves are depleted against variable production capacities and ramp-up constraints. Use `get_mine_life_summary` to find the total duration of operations, `get_production_profile` to see year-by-year extraction amounts, and `get_depletion_schedule` to track remaining ore reserves. The engine accounts for initial ramp-up phases and ensures production never exceeds available reserves.

## Tools

### get_depletion_schedule
Provides a yearly tracking of the dwindling ore reserves

### get_production_profile
Generates a year-by-year breakdown of how much ore is produced

### get_mine_life_summary
Provides a high-level overview of the mine's operational duration and total extraction capability

### validate_mine_parameters
Validates whether a set of operational constraints is logically sound

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the mine life for 5000 units of reserves with an annual capacity of 1000 and a ramp-up schedule of [200, 500].
```

**Response:** 
```
The mine will operate for 6 years, with a total of 5000 units extracted.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Show me the yearly production profile for 10000 reserves, 2000 capacity, and ramp-up [500, 1000].
```

**Response:** 
```
Year 1: 500, Year 2: 1000, Year 3: 2000, Year 4: 2000, Year 5: 2000, Year 6: 1500.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the depletion schedule for 1500 reserves with 500 annual capacity and no ramp-up?
```

**Response:** 
```
Year 1: 1000 remaining, Year 2: 500 remaining, Year 3: 0 remaining.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How does the ramp-up schedule affect the mine life?**
The ramp-up schedule defines the initial production levels. A slower ramp-up increases the time it takes to reach full capacity, which can extend the total mine life by spreading out the depletion of reserves.

**Can I validate my mining parameters before running a full simulation?**
Yes, you can use the `validate_mine_parameters` tool to ensure your total reserves, annual capacity, and ramp-up schedule are logically consistent before performing detailed calculations.

**What happens in the final year of the mine life?**
In the final year, the production is limited by the remaining ore reserves rather than the annual capacity, ensuring the depletion schedule reaches exactly zero.
