Case Studies
EMC has extensive experience in implementing Drill-to-Mill value chain optimisation projects across a number of operations focusing on improving mill throughput and decreasing energy. Results from these projects indicate a range of 5 to 40% increase in mill throughput; and 10-25% reduction in SAG mill specific energy.
DRILL-TO-MILL OPTIMIZATION
The client engaged EMC to perform a Drill-to-Mill integration and optimization project at Pustynnoye open pit gold mine, Kazakhstan. The project involved developing and ore characterization program, Drill&Blast...
DRILL-TO-MILL OPTIMIZATION
A Drill-to-Mill integration and optimization study was requested to increase the mill throughput at a gold mine in Ghana. The processing plant was 25% short of target mill throughput. It is an open-pit mine...
DRILL&BLAST OPTIMIZATION
The client engaged us to conduct a comprehensive final wall blasting design and optimization study at an open pit mine in Australia. The mine identified that 5 degrees of wall- steepening would free-up 128,957...
EXCAVATOR PRODUCTIVITY OPTIMIZATION
We analyse the availability/utilisation of the mining equipments and their productivities. The analysis gives good insight into the shovel/loader performance and potential areas...
COMMINUTION CIRCUIT DESIGN
