John Jackson - Enabling short interval control using spatial dense geoscience info beyond grade

Improvements in productivity, efficiency and safety always rate in the top 10 trends, risk or opportunities from mining industry surveys. One area of focus to achieve productivity improvements over the past few years has been through the application of technology, automation and data analytics primarily focused on existing mining equipment. This presentation will look at the current development of an automated system to enable precision mining by providing spatially dense knowledge of the rock, beyond grade, for short interval control – improving blast outcomes, material control and downstream processes. The concept isn’t new but consistent and widespread adoption has been problematic – these will be touched upon. To achieve tangible productivity improvements requires contributions from multiple parties; collaborators on this project includes Imdex, Orica, AngloAmerican, Teck, UFR, CRCORE and MetsIgnited.
