Mining value chain optimisation

Mining value chain optimisation means planning every step from resource to customer together: mining, stockpiling, blending, processing, logistics and sales. BlendOpt optimises those decisions as one plan, so production, recovery and product quality are set by what earns the most for the whole operation, not by the targets of each department.

Value chain optimisation FAQ

What is value chain optimisation in mining?

Value chain optimisation in mining is finding the plan that earns the most across the whole chain from resource to customer, rather than optimising mining, processing, logistics and sales one at a time. A plan that maximises throughput at one step often destroys value at another. BlendOpt models the chain as a whole and optimises it over time.

What is mining production optimisation?

Mining production optimisation decides how much of each ore type to mine, stockpile, blend and process in each period, and which products to make, so the operation earns the most within its physical, quality and contractual limits.

How does BlendOpt improve mineral recovery?

Recovery depends on what the plant is fed. BlendOpt controls the grade, ratios and deleterious elements in mill feed across the whole schedule. At one copper operation, new stockpile definitions and optimised reclaim cut Cu:S variability from 0.4 to 0.03 and improved recovery and concentrate grade.

Can BlendOpt optimise yield?

Yes. BlendOpt trades off yield against quality wherever the two compete, for example CHPP ash against product yield in coal, or the volume of each product against its specification.

Can BlendOpt optimise multiple mines and processing plants together?

Yes. In a multi-plant life-of-mine study, BlendOpt found an 18% NPV improvement, like for like, over the customer's existing plan.

Are you ready to unlock the hidden value in your operation?

  • Do you optimize product placement into the market?

  • Do you know when Demurrage adds value (can you spot “value justified” demurrage)?

  • Do you know in what situations your stockpile quality models increase contract rejection risk?

  • Does your planning software require stable operations, predictable markets?

  • Can you run scenarios to understand your options?

  • Does your tactical scheduling software automatically synchronize with your longer term planning tools?

  • Do your schedules reflect conditions on the ground?

  • Are your schedules tossed in the bin on day 1?
