Talk Abstract:

Reconciliation measures and monitors the quality of the reserve model, planning process, and the performance of operations through actual mining and processing. It allows us to identify problems, prompts corrective actions, and provides opportunity for production increase. Presentation will focused on the reconciliation key performance indicators and their breakdowns that enable us to pinpoint the causes of production issues. In addition, how and why the reconciliation is so critical for mine operation in order to achieve both the maximum value out of the orebody and the predicted production level from the reserve model.
