The Art of Long-Term Mine Planning

Long-term mine plans don’t fail because of one bad assumption. They fall apart when the fundamentals are quietly ignored.

Most planning breakdowns can be traced back to basics slipping out of discipline. Resource models that are not updated. Schedules that assume development will somehow catch up. Equipment plans that look fine on paper but ignore reliability and manpower reality. … Read More

Digital & Technology-Operational-KPIs

Operational KPI Library For Mining Performance (Digital and Technology KPIs)

This technical guide brings together the Digital and Technology KPIs that increasingly determine how well modern mining operations actually function. Many sites invest heavily in systems, automation, and connectivity, but far fewer measure whether those tools are reliable, adopted, and

Shared-Operational-KPIs

Operational KPI Library For Mining Performance (Shared Operational KPIs)

This technical guide brings together the Shared Operational KPIs that quietly govern performance across both open pit and underground mining operations. Most sites track output and cost at a high level, but the real drivers of stability sit deeper in

Operational KPI Library for Mining Performance-UG KPIs

Operational KPI Library For Mining Performance (UnderGround KPIs)

This technical guide lays out the Underground Operational KPIs that truly shape performance in hard-rock mining. Plenty of sites track tonnes and meters, but the real story sits inside the KPIs that reveal how smoothly the underground cycle is actually

Operational KPI Library for Mining Performance

Operational KPI Library For Mining Performance (Open Pit KPIs)

This technical guide breaks down how mining teams can drive consistent performance by using the right Operational KPIs at the right moments in the shift. Most operations track tonnes and hours, but the real opportunities sit inside the metrics that

Driving-Mining-Efficiency-Through-KPI-Excellence

Driving Mining Efficiency Through Operational KPI Excellence

Efficient haulage sits at the center of mining efficiency. In this handbook, we show how dispatch operators can use modern Fleet Management Systems to improve truck shovel productivity, cut idle time, and manage the biggest cost driver in open pit

Improvement-in-Excavator-Productivity-Thumbnail

Improvement in Excavator Productivity

This technical brief explains how a mining operation improved excavator productivity by identifying hidden inefficiencies across the pit. Although utilization rates appeared strong, idle time, poor face conditions, and mismatched truck and excavator pairings were cutting into daily output. With

Open-Pit-Mine-Dispatch-Operators’-Handbook-Thumbnail

Open Pit Mine Dispatch Operators’ Handbook

Efficient haulage is the backbone of open pit mining. In this handbook we explain how dispatch operators can use modern Fleet Management Systems to improve truck shovel productivity, cut idle time, and control one of the biggest cost drivers in

Uncovering-the-Hidden-Cost-of-Haulage-Inefficiency

Uncovering the Hidden Cost of Haulage Inefficiency

This white paper explores how a major West African gold mine uncovered the hidden costs of haulage inefficiency. Despite strict cost controls, the site was losing millions each year to fuel overconsumption. GroundHog’s Fleet Management System, powered by real-time GPS
