ChecklistGuro Automated Ore Grade Control Process
Optimize your mining operations with our Automated Ore Grade Control Process. Streamline mineral extraction, reduce dilution, and maximize recovery through real-time data integration and automated decision-making. Enhance precision in ore tracking and boost operational efficiency with this advanced mining management workflow designed to minimize waste and maximize profitability.
Start
Start of the Workflow/Process.
1. Fetch Daily Blast Hole Samples
Retrieve all recent assay results from the Blast Hole Assay data model.
2. Retrieve Geological Block Model
Fetch the predicted grade data from the 3D Block Model data model for the current mining area.
3. Calculate Variance/Deviation
Calculate the difference between the sampled ore grade and the predicted block model grade.
4. Calculate Average Grade Per Zone
Aggregate the fetched assay results to determine the mean grade for each specific mining zone.
5. Determine Re-route Decision
Apply logic to determine if the ore should be diverted to the High-Grade stockpile, Low-Grade stockpile, or Waste dump based on calculated variance.
6. Update Block Model Status
Update the 'Validated' status in the Block Model data model based on the new assay results.
7. Create Grade Control Report Entry
Generate a new record in the Grade Control Logs data model containing the calculated results and variance.
8. Assign Pit Geologist Review
Create a task for the Pit Geologist to verify the deviation if the variance exceeds the predefined threshold.
9. Assign Plant Operator Instruction
Create a task for the Crusher Operator with specific instructions on which ore stream to process.
10. Notify Mine Manager
Send an email summary of the daily ore grade distribution and any significant deviations to the Mine Manager.
11. Generate Daily Reconciliation Report
Create a formal PDF report comparing predicted vs. actual grades for the daily production meeting.
12. Update Stockpile Inventory
Update the tonnage and grade estimates in the Stockpile Data Model based on the new ore routing.
13. Alert Site Supervisor
Send an SMS alert to the Site Supervisor if ore grade falls below the critical economic cut-off.
