Grade control happens at all the stages of the iron ore supply chain process. Planning, scheduling and execution processes play a relevant role together in the aim of keeping the grades under control. Previous research has explored alternatives to mitigate the grade variability impact by using better planning and scheduling tactics.Web

Grade-Control (GC) is the last stage of in-situ geological research previous to the actual mining of an orebody. It is placed in the extreme opposite of exploration works.Web

Suppose a metal mining company has mined 1000 tons of ore and has extracted 500 tons of metal from it. Using the Average Ore Grade formula: Average Ore Grade = (1000 / 500) * 100 = 200 The company's average ore grade would be 200. Tips and Tricks of the KPI - Regularly track metal mining KPIs to identify trends and …Web

Dilution is a critical issue that affects many aspects in mining. It is generally due to the geometric characteristics of the ore body, the mining operation, the characteristics of geologic contacts, and the limitations of the mining equipment to recover material to the desired boundaries or contacts. There are three types of dilution that need ...Web

Grade control is an essential part of the mining process because the metal being extracted from the ground is never constant.he first grade control machines to have guidance systems were introduced in the late 1990s. Since then, this technology has become more prominent – many manufacturers of earthmoving equipment now offer …Web

automated control systems for the selective mining of ore have been developed, which provide high-precision positioning of the excavator in the mine face, the required trajectory of the bucket relative to the localization zones of various types of rock mass, as well as the ability to identify the quality of the rock mass in the bucket [17].Web

Recovery and dilution usually are interrelated; with some methods of stoping a high recovery involves contamination of the ore from the walls or capping, and often clean ore can be obtained only by leaving some ore in the mine. In open-stope mines the greatest loss of ore is that tied up in pillars left for support of the back or hanging wall.Web

Unplanned ore dilution negatively affects overall mine profitability by increasing operating costs (e.g., mucking, haulage, crushing, hoisting, milling, waste treatment, and low-grade ore upgrading). Eliminating ore dilution requires identifying and controlling the major causal factors, which are related to in-situ stress regimes, depth of …Web

For a mining operation, minimizing misclassification of ore and waste during grade control is of critical importance. This paper reviews grade control procedures for classifying ore and waste that are based on estimation and conditional simulation approaches.
