<p class="MsoNormal">OZ Minerals and the EMC are committed to finding any new solutions and approaches for simulating an electric mine, and are seeking partners from different industries and backgrounds to achieve their goal. This opportunity revolving around
software simulation, I thought this might be an area that you are focussing on with<span style="font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#1D1F21"> </span>EnergyPlus.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Switching to electric and renewable energy represents a transformational shift that will change the way mines themselves are designed. The project consists of a simulated open architecture, scalable mine design platform that can initially
be used to compare a fully electric underground mine with its diesel powered equivalent. <o:p></o:p></p>
