- Topic - How Does Dynamic Behaviour of Comminution Circuits Impact Strategic Planning of Mines?
- Abstract - Strategic Mine Planning (SMP) mainly aims at maximising profitability from the exploitation of an orebody over the mining lifecycle. The interconnected nature of mining offers risks and opportunities at the same time. The extent to which these masked potential pitfalls and opportunities could be revealed before turning into significant economic losses over the life-of-mine (LOM) depends on how detailed the inherent variabilities within the value-chain are captured, described and accounted in decision-making. The process plant, which accounts for milling capacity and metal recovery, is deterministic to the economics of mining operations. The comminution circuit performance; however is primarily influenced by ore feed competence and particle size distribution (PSD), which are commonly major sources of variation. The Integrated Strategic Mine Planning (I-SMP) developed by GEOVIA Dassault Systèmes allows for key sources of uncertainty to be incorporated into the mine planning. It therefore assists with the assessment of probabilities beyond the average, where profit and loss occur in practice. This study exemplifies how PSD and competence/ hardness as major sources of variability in ore feed could affect profitability over the LOM. The results for a copper open-pit mine with 50 Mt mining capacity indicate a variation of approx. -5.3% and +7.2% in the Net Present Value (NPV), introducible only by blast fragmentation and ore competence variabilities.
