PREDICTIVE Geometallurgy™

Everything that happens in a mine depends on the orebody. So, know your orebody better with AMC.

Advancements in Geometallurgy

Geometallurgy has advanced over the last few years. The advancement of orebody mapping techniques and application of data science and machine learning have heralded a new era for mine owners and operators.


Practical Applications by AMC

AMC has not just defined what geometallurgy is, we’ve been working on what it means in practice for the ability to optimize mine sequencing, make better plant design decisions, improve the stability of operations, and make the right strategic choices.


Experience Predictive Geometallurgy™

Predictive Geometallurgy™ is a process that produces a dynamic 3D block model that enables you to understand orebody variability, improve design and scheduling, reduce volatility, improve recoveries, and reduce operating costs.


Confident Decision-Making

At the end of the day, it all comes down to confidence — better decisions for the bottom line.

What our clients say about us

Rosh Pinah Zinc Corporation (Pty) Ltd

"AMC Consultants helped us de-risk our Rosh Pinah asset and identified a twofold potential increase in NPV. Their expert team helped us to evaluate all the practical opportunities and select our preferred strategic position with confidence. The work completed has confirmed the potential to increase ore production from approximately 0.7 Mt to 1.3 Mt per year — resulting in Rosh Pinah becoming a significantly lower cost zinc producer. We are pleased with the ROI delivered by AMC, and we have engaged them to complete the mining components of the Rosh Pinah Expansion “RP2.0” Feasibility Study."
- Christo Horn, Chief Operating Officer

Vedanta Resources Plc.

"AMC has helped us identifying the real production potential of all mines & also to do the benchmarking of most of our operations. This has helped us to develop long-term plans for our all operations & also helped us to see the opportunities to enhance the operation performance with compare to other Global peers to get best value out of each operation. Always recommending to have long term relations to get best from any mining project."
- LS Shekhawat, COO-Mines-HZL

Lynas Corporation

"Speaking from a mining geologist perspective and attending a 1 week training session with Brian I found it completely un-siloed; Brian is the real deal and I would highly recommend attending."
- Mark Carder – Senior Mine Geologist

AngloGold Ashanti

"AMC’s Benchmarking Studies, in conjunction with their detailed Operational Analysis studies, at AngloGold Ashanti’s Continental African Region operations provided us with insights into the key drivers of open pit mining performance and the potential operating cost savings that could be realised. AMC were able to provide an independent analysis of the current and future cost bases for each operation. They provided valuable input to the AngloGold’s Mining Task Force Project."
- Ludwig Eybers, Senior VP Continental African Region

OZ Minerals Limited (Prominent Hill Project)

"AMC’s Benchmarking and Operational Analysis Study provided OZ Minerals with insights into the key drivers of open pit mining performance. The study analysis enabled the mining department to develop and implement targeted business improvement plans."
- Prominent Hill Project

OZ Minerals Limited

"Contract negotiations were made transparent by using productivity and cost data from AMC’s Open Pit Benchmarking. The data identified opportunities for equipment productivity improvements, which translate to lower unit mining costs. With transparent data, we were able to negotiate a schedule of rates which benefits both the client and the contractor."
- Robert Boyd - Mining Manager

Birla Nifty Copper Mine

"I have utilised the AMC Benchmarking service in a number of underground mining operations for which I was responsible. The information gleaned enabled the management team to assess the operations performance against similar producers to determine focussed performance improvement plans. Immediate and longer term strategies were developed that ensured the robustness of the operation in a challenging environment. The base information provided in the AMC Benchmarking is an invaluable tool for those wishing to optimise their existing operations."
- Sam Roesler, General Manager

Five Key Levers to Improve Margins and Beat the Cost-Price Squeeze

By Marketing AMC • June 11, 2026
The energy and industrial transition is driving a sustained period of elevated metal prices and global growth in minerals production. This has exacerbated structural scarcities in critical inputs, such as experienced and skilled labour, placing persistent upward pressure on costs across the minerals industry.

Let the Data Speak: Optimizing Metallurgical Sample Selection for Robust Process Design

By Marketing AMC • November 10, 2025
In metallurgical testing, the notion of a “representative sample” is often taken to mean that a single, well-chosen sample can fully encapsulate the behaviour of an entire ore deposit. This underlying assumption suggests that if the processing plant is designed and tested using this sample.
