Customer Challenge

Low Accuracy in Material Grade Feed to Plant

The Weighted Average Model (WAM) of stockpiles grades was showing low accuracy levels with the material fed to the plant severely impacting downstream processes.

How We Helped

Improved Visibility with 3D Stockpile Models

IntelliSense.io 3D Stockpile model data and the crusher feed was compared to the provided head-grade assay to determine accuracy deviation.

The Outcome

Accuracy Improved by 32.7%

Fe, Al2O3, SiO2, and P assay results are closely matched by the IntelliSense.io Stockpile & Inventory data.

On the comparison of the weighted average crusher feed to the head grade results, the IntelliSense.io Stockpile 3D block model outperformed the weighted average model in all instances, with Fe accuracy improved by 32.7%.

Delivering optimization of short, medium, and long-term mining planning with better blending.
