Mining - what are the challenges?
Mining companies face formidable challenges in maintaining profitability in an
environment characterised by declining ore grades and flat commodity prices
Current State Issues
•
Decreasing grade of ore bodies.
•
Higher volume of extraction and
throughput to achieve output
targets.
•
Increased energy costs.
•
Larger capacity infrastructure.
•
Higher capital investment.
•
•
Increased operating costs
associated with higher levels of
mining processing activity.
Regulatory/Social Issues

Mitigation
• Exploration for new, higher
grade ore bodies
• Process efficiency
remediation to reduce costs.
• Introduction of new
technology to streamline
extraction and reduce costs.
Consequences
Continual need for
improved productivity to
maintain profit levels
Decreasing net returns
Risks
• Lower output, lower returns.
Pressure to open new
mine sites.
• Continuous escalation of
capital costs.
• Dependence on exploration.
Dependency on capital
funding

Potential Opportunity Areas
Process
Optimisation
Mining processes are often poorly understood and have a great deal of
interdependencies between different stages of the process. De-bottlenecking, lean
techniques, process modeling and controls are significant value levers
Procurement
Procurement in the mining industry can be a source of significant commercial and
strategic value, especially in the current capacity constrained environment where
suppliers are often in powerful bargaining positions. In addition to this a historic focus
on production at the expense of costs can result in inflated procurement costs
Asset Management
Improved maintenance practices and planning activities can improve equipment
availability and utilization through the use of advanced analytics to support predictive
maintenance
Production
Planning
Holistic scheduling of mine production and clear communication and co-ordination
between value chain steps can result in improved overall system performance
Sustainable
Development
The mining industry is facing increasing pressures on the use of land, and water and
constraints on its generation of waste, a thorough understanding of these issues and
appropriate strategies to address them can be a source of significant competitive
advantage
