In this episode of Fresh Thinking by @SnowdenOptiro, Susan Havlin speaks with Tarrant Elkington about the mine planning implications of simulation.

The conversation explores:

  • Why resource models are fundamental to mine planning and project evaluation
  • The impact of grade variability and smoothing on mine planning outcomes
  • How LCS compares with conventional estimation methods such as Ordinary Kriging
  • The operational implications of dilution, ore loss and mining selectivity
  • How simulation-based approaches can support risk-aware and stochastic mine planning
  • Why LCS can integrate into existing mine planning workflows

This episode is the sixth in our seven-part series exploring recoverable resource estimation, simulation and uncertainty in mineral resource modelling.
