## Description

This MCP server provides specialized tools for underground mining engineers to design optimal stope geometries. By integrating ore body geometry with rock mass properties, the server allows for precise stability assessments and extraction planning. Use `analyze_stope_stability` to verify if a proposed void is safe, `calculate_optimal_dimensions` to find the best size within ore body bounds, and `get_extraction_ratio` to quantify recovered volume. It also includes `generate_stability_chart` for sensitivity analysis across different rock mass ratings and wall angles.

## Tools

### analyze_stope_stability
Determines if a proposed stope geometry is physically stable based on rock mass properties

### calculate_optimal_dimensions
Suggests the most efficient stope dimensions that maximize extraction without exceeding safety limits

### get_extraction_ratio
Calculates the percentage of the ore body being extracted relative to the total available volume

### generate_stability_chart
Provides a summary of stability outcomes across various potential stope sizes to aid in sensitivity analysis

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a stope with dimensions 20x10x15, RMR of 65, a 70 degree hanging wall, and a 75 degree footwall stable?
```

**Response:** 
```
The stope is stable with a stability factor of 1.45 and a low failure risk.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the optimal dimensions for an ore body with bounds minX:0, maxX:50, minY:0, maxY:30, minZ:0, maxZ:20, an RMR of 50, and a target dilution limit of 10%?
```

**Response:** 
```
The optimal dimensions are 35m length, 12m width, and 15m height, with a predicted dilution of 8.5%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the extraction ratio for a stope of 15x10x10 in an ore body with a volume of 5000 cubic meters.
```

**Response:** 
```
The extraction ratio is 3.0%, with a recovered volume of 1500 cubic meters and 3500 cubic meters of wasted volume.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I check if my stope design is safe?**
You can use the `analyze_stope_stability` tool. Provide the stope dimensions, the Rock Mass Rating (RMR), and the hanging wall and footwall angles to receive a stability factor and risk assessment.

**Can I find the best dimensions to maximize ore recovery?**
Yes, the `calculate_optimal_dimensions` tool suggests efficient dimensions that maximize extraction while staying within your target dilution limits and ore body boundaries.

**How is the extraction ratio calculated?**
The `get_extraction_ratio` tool calculates the percentage of the total ore body volume that is successfully recovered based on your proposed stope dimensions.
