Case Studies

Examples of strategic mine-planning decisions where disciplined optimisation changes the answer.

Mining Fleet Capital

This Case Study covers truck and shovel fleet sizing, equipment matching, and annual fleet reviews, showing how this analysis helps operations maintain the right fleet scale as site conditions, costs, and productivity drivers change over time.

Mine Extension or Closure

This Case Study covers mine extensions, closure scenarios, and capital trade-off evaluation, showing how NPV-based assessment helps determine the options that best maximise whole-of-business value as reserves, mine scope, and project economics change over time.

Process Plant Expansion

This Case Study covers how processing plant expansions can be of substantial value to long life mine sites. It covers the right overarching objectives, expansion options and evaluation methods.
