Geologist

Mine geologists play a crucial role in assisting mining engineers, metallurgists and other professionals in the day-to-day management of a mine. Whether it is the delineation of an ore body, sampling and grade control, ore reserve estimation or pit reconciliation there are many challenges for geologists to manage the associated masses of data and turn it into useful, pragmatic information.

Mine geologists utilising QMASTOR solutions can:

• Rapidly perform pit reconciliation. QMASTOR provides breakthrough simplicity to reconcile resources, reserves and actual production.
  
  
• Improve mining model predictions. Through reconciliation and analysis of predicted versus actual mining and process plant performance, geologists can refine assumptions that impact many aspects of supply chain performance: within block/panel quality variation, dilutions, densities, moisture, chemical/metallurgical analyses, stockpile models, ROM and plant feed stockpile qualities, predicted plant quality and yield forecasts.
  
  
• Easily communicate updated pit grade estimates. QMASTOR makes it easy for geologists, quality/grade controllers and plant metallurgists to get on the same page, utilising a common database so that when official updates to pit inventories are made, they are readily available for planning and scheduling of downstream processes.
  
  
• Track product genealogy from pit to customer. Understand where material from each pit block reported to through product tracking genealogy charts and provide simple stockpile dissections of pit/material contributions.
  
  
• Increase efficiency. Simple upload of mine plan or geological data from systems such as XPAC, Datamine etc combined with automated ROM production through integration with open cut dispatch and underground systems provides simplified, effective data management and reporting.

These are just a few of QMASTOR’s capabilities. Learn more about our solutions for mining, stockpile and inventory management, blend management, process plant management, planning & scheduling.
