SAIMM Mine Planning and Design Colloquium 2024
AMC Consultants is pleased to present and chair at the upcoming The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (SAIMM) Mine Planning and Design Colloquium in Johannesburg, South Africa scheduled between Thursday, 5 September to Friday 6 September 2024.
Jonathan Chiappero, Senior Mining Consultant - Strategy Optimization, will present on AMC Consultants' approach to strategy optimization. This presentation will explore AMC Consultants' approach to strategy optimization, focusing on how we help clients identify critical decisions and assess risks that impact long-term asset value. Specific outcomes from case studies will be provided, demonstrating the tangible benefits of our methodology in real-world scenarios.
Jonathan will chair session 3 on Colloquium Day 1, where he will facilitate discussions on key topics related to mine planning and design, mine performance optimization and tailings.
The SAIMM Mine Planning colloquiums have consistently highlighted deficiencies in mine planning skills over the years. The colloquiums held in 2012, 2014, 2017, and 2019 all emphasized the need for developing skill sets with various mine planning tools within the context of multiple mining methods. By addressing these deficiencies and adapting to newer tools and skills, the mining industry can better meet the challenges and opportunities presented by evolving technologies and changing market demands.
Topics across the colloquium will consist of:
- Impact of strategic plans on tactical and operational planning.
- Importance of mineral resource estimation in mine planning and design.
- Minerals processing considerations.
- Design criteria for planning processes as the foundation of good mine planning.
- Optimizing the mine plan.
- Equipment selection.
- Mine access, including haul roads and declines, often neglected in mining.
- Financial technical evaluations and their importance for mine planners.
- Appropriateness of new technologies in mine planning.
Delegates attending the colloquium will have complimentary access to the Electra Mining Expo Centre on the colloquium days.
