Improve Geological &
Mine Plan Certainty.

Challenge: Defining coal versus waste zones in the coal seam
Solution: OreSense® LV
Result:

• The mine now has confidence that the boundaries that they are mining to are accurate, and no good quality coal is being thrown onto waste dumps
• The mine is able to make a measurable difference to lowering their cost per saleable tonne, and increase their mine’s saleable tonnes.
• At the same time the mine production supervisor has more confidence that they can deliver their daily production targets, consistently.

Challenge:
Cut-off grade mapping
Solution:
OreSense LV
Result:

• This means that the mine can maximise the recovery of its’ mineable reserves, while simultaneously reducing process variance.
• This results in a lower cost per saleable tonne for the operation and also means that the mine geologists can focus on strategic opportunities for the mine.

Challenge:
Define the location of high mineralisation
Solution:
OreSense LV

Result:

• The mine planners can create the short-term production schedule, with confidence, knowing that high grade ore will make to the plant every time, providing a critical material flow for plant optimisation.
• At the same time the mine manager has confidence that no high-grade ore is being misallocated to waste dumps.
• Overall, mine can reduce process variance, increase compliance to plan, and reduce their cash costs per ounce.
