Articles from the team behind BlendOpt on planning the mining value chain as one system: why local KPIs and planning silos hide the real constraint, how constraints and expert knowledge shape an optimised plan, and how the same approach applies to lithium, critical minerals, nickel, manganese and mineral sands. For the software itself, which starts from run-of-mine (ROM) material and takes your mine plan as an input, see our integrated mine planning and scheduling software.
KPIs, planning silos and collaborative optimisation.

Ten BlendOpt customer results in coal, copper and gold.
A plan that hits every department’s target can still leave value on the table. These articles look at where that value goes, and how optimisation brings it back.
How local KPIs, silo metrics and planning assumptions can hide the true constraint and block mine-to-market value.
Why departments optimising for their own KPIs drain value, and how BlendOpt aligns technical, operations and commercial decisions.
Combining machine intelligence with human expert knowledge across the mining value chain.
BlendOpt is one configurable optimisation platform. These pages show it configured for the grade, impurity, stockpile and product questions of each commodity.
Blend ore and stockpiles to keep lithium concentrate within grade and impurity specifications, while keeping plant feed stable.
Reserving and processing critical minerals through fluctuating markets, geological variability and the need for sustainable resource management.
The environmental concerns in nickel laterite mining for the EV industry, and how BlendOpt helps address them.
Simultaneous optimisation of process feed control strategies, stock inventories and product portfolio.
Higher-grade titanium feedstock means more pigment and less waste. Optimise plant feeds and pigment production.
The same platform is configured for coal, copper and gold value chains, from mine to mill and pit to port. Talk to us about the questions in yours.
Announcements, media coverage and events, and Paradyn’s security practices.
Announcements and media, including our METS Spotlight at IMARC and the Australian Bulk Handling Review.
Paradyn was chosen for the Igniting METS mining accelerator, an Australian-first joint initiative of METS Ignited and the Queensland Government.
Why Paradyn’s systems were unaffected by the CrowdStrike Falcon Sensor outage, and why we choose Linux over Windows.
Bring us the problem. We’ll show you what BlendOpt finds when the whole value chain is optimised together.
