SOLUTION HIGHLIGHTS

With our Stacking Solution, you can easily do

01

Evaluate Leach Pad Performance

On the heap leach pad, performance can be evaluated based on a combination of ore grades, recovery potential, metal domains, and geology attributes. By identifying high- or low-performing HLP zones, leach variables can be modified to improve metal recovery.

02

Run What-If Scenarios

We developed new Solutions that aim to simplify the design, maintenance, and forecasted process of Heap Leach Stacking. The software allows users to run extensive what-if scenarios during the Heap Leach Stacking stage.

03

Track Ore Placement

Mine operators can easily create historical and forecasted stacking plans with the capability to register detailed metallurgical records for ore placement.  Track lithology, grade placed, ore properties, and kinetics from the pit to the heap leach pad and track leaching on/off by the pad area.
