Tackling ore-grade misclassification with BMT

Recorded 16 September | 2PM MST (UTC-7)

• Dilution is the enemy at most mines, but there is significant value in controlling misclassification of different ore types. This is particularly important for iron ore and other base metal operations, but also for some precious metal mines as well.
   
• The webinar will begin with a description of blast movement monitoring, and how measuring movement and translating ore polygons can drastically reduce loss, dilution and misclassification.
   
• We will move into an example of how to use our new and improved value calculator for polymetallic mines with numerous downstream ore destinations.
   
• The session will close with an in-depth analysis of the benefits of accounting for blast movement in iron ore mines, using a complex algorithm to evaluate the financial risks that misclassification has on blending quality.
