PRODUCT INFO
We have developed an in-house specialty model to optimise the mine to mill process for mining companies. This model is exclusive to Upside Geometallurgy and has unique functionality to promptly identify variances in the production process, allowing for prompt identification of efficiency improvement opportunities
.
OUR SERVICES
We are a leading consulting agency who specialises in addressing complex geological and metallurgical reconciliation challenges, possible due to a strong background in both technical and production aspects of mine to mill functions, resulting in a proven track record in adding value to ASX listed mining companies.
ABOUT US
Designing tailored Mine to Mill Reconciliations is what we are about.
​
Upside Group, trading as Upside Metallurgy and Upside Geometallurgy, was established in 2017 by founder Lee Richardson. After exposure to various companies and sites both in Australia and overseas, Upside Geometallurgy saw a need for high level input that links Geology and Metallurgy functions.
​
Numerous mining companies have implemented Upside Geometallurgy’s mine to mill reconciliation model. Consultation generally begins when there is either:
Unexpected and unexplained overcall (or undercall) in mine claim grade
Uknown discrepancy between milled and mined tonnes between various ore sources
A discrepancy between mill reconciliation and mine claims
Excessive error in mill reconciliation factor over a number of months
Excessive complexity in existing mine to mill model which requires simplification and improved transparency​
PRODUCT INFORMATION
After many years of conducting mine to mill reconciliations from a production point of view, and through multiple model builds, the following functionality has been built into our model:
Prompt identification of the source of errors
Significant reduction in time to execute the task
Logical presentation of data flows, highlighting discrepancies and issues promptly
Upon consultation with site, improved interface between the mill metallurgical reconciliations and mine claims by improving data capture quality on the ROM and other material transfer points
​Tonnage and metal mass balance check in and check out functionality built in to ensure that the model balances
Variance checks at each material transfer point (mined, hauled, crushed and milled), with functionality to identify where variances are coming from
Stockpile closing stock tonnes and grade are calculated from opening stocks and material flow in and out as a comparison/check against survey tonnes and assigned grade
Smart lists of valid ore stream combinations allowable at each geographical location are developed on the fly, reducing the room for error
Can group with unlimited categories (i.e. mine, grade bin, mine type, rock type), and roll up to whatever combination for reporting purposes
Selection of reports developed that are used by various gold mining companies
Report outputs feed into accounting functions for month end reporting
System customisable to suit the business requirements of your company
Flexible model to capture and track Crushed to Ground stocks, Fine Ore Bin stocks and Scat stocks
Error checks for each mine and mine-grade bin combo
Data warehouse data storage with powerful reporting capabilities, by mine, mill and region.
