How mining companies focus Big Data via mining optimisation with Whittle Consulting

 

As the leading mining consultants, Whittle Consulting has identified the top 15 Objectives and Outcomes that drive our clients to implement mining optimisation generally, and Whittle Integrated Strategic Mine Planning, in particular. One of these objectives is to focus the Big Data created by their mining project or operation. Let’s explore this objective in detail.

10. Focus Big Data
Objectives:
  • Data Driven Mining
  • Artificial Intelligence (AI)
  • Machine learning
  • Automation

Outcomes:

Big Data provides new opportunities for improving mine planning and enhancing mine valuation. However, the pace of development of information technology enables the collection of data to the point where we are overwhelmed by it. Data systems should be designed in a structure that supports the execution of the company strategy for both open pit mines and underground mine operations. We should ensure that the key value drivers, which Whittle Integrated Strategic Mine Planning identifies, become the focus of data systems. Data collected on other subjects can be less relevant, and possibly even a distraction.
