The short version

  • Each has a real cost: MinePlan the Internet Archive's capture of mineplan.com.au on 4 March 2020 already showed only a generic 'Website Coming Soon' hosting placeholder rather than a product page, indicating the domain has not hosted a live MinePlan site for at least several years.; MineRP minerp.com 301 redirects to epiroc.com's mine planning product line, confirming MineRP was absorbed into Epiroc; the product is no longer sold as an independently branded platform and buyers must now evaluate it inside Epiroc's mining portfolio.
  • They diverge on capability: MinePlan covers Life of mine planning, MineRP covers Resource planning.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.
