Strip Ratio Over Mine Life
How does waste stripping actually change over the lifetime of a mine? Explore our analysis of 566 real open pit production schedules and find out what we discovered.
The Mining-Cost Inflation Index
We wanted our own interpretable mining cost inflation index, so we built an index from the industry's own cost signals. It beat CPI.
Grade Tonnage Curve Estimation
Most technical reports disclose a resource at a single cut-off grade, making it hard to see what the project looks like at other grades. We built a tool that estimates a full grade-tonnage curve from just two data points, calibrated against real analog deposits.
Cost Factorization & Normalization
Two mines can be run equally well and still report costs a factor of two apart. Dive into how we used industry data and machine learning to put every mine on one comparable basis.
Process Mass Flow Modeling
How do you track mass and metal through a processing plan when material loops back for retreatment? We built the block flow modeling engine that handles exactly this; the same one behind the Plant Process GUI.
