OVERVIEW
Heap Leach Stacking
The inclusion of heap leaching into the mine plan is paramount to the overall mine profitability.
Our solution offers tools for heap leach stacking, lift height design, and metallurgy analysis to provide a continuous improvement model to maximize metal recoveries.
MAXIMIZE PRODUCTIVITY
Looking ahead
We leverage our Mine Design and Planning Software tools to populate and discretize LeachPad blocks that encompass the project’s block model. In this process, we prepare the Leach Pad block model so that it can be used as a basis for the software solution for heap leach recovery.
SOLUTION HIGHLIGHTS
With our Heap Leach Stacking Solution, you can easily do
01
Evaluate Leach Pad Performance
On the heap leach pad, performance can be evaluated based on a combination of ore grades, recovery potential, metal domains, and geology attributes. By identifying high- or low-performing HLP zones, leach variables can be modified to improve metal recovery.
02
Run What-If Scenarios
We developed new Solutions that aim to simplify the design, maintenance, and forecasted process of Heap Leach Stacking, recovery, and solution modeling. The software allows users to run extensive what-if scenarios during the Heap Leach Recovery Model stage.
03
Track Ore Placement
Mine operators can easily create historical and forecasted stacking plans with the capability to register detailed metallurgical records for ore placement. Track lithology, grade placed, ore properties, and kinetics from the pit to the heap leach pad and track leaching on/off by the pad area.
KEY FEATURES
Boost Your Heap Leach Stacking Plan
Solution Cell Functionality
Add Solution Layers to your Stacking Plan. Polygon shapes can be built on any elevation around discretized lift shapes. Properties can then be assigned to identify different cycles, drainage zone or infrastructures. These properties can be used in our Heap Leach Recovery Model Software Solution.
Heap Leach Stacking Functionality
Design leach solution piping headers to show leaching areas through time. Design access roads and conveyor access.
Inventory Management
Capture inventory of un-leached ounces on the pad (haul roads and side-slopes) to more accurately project production.
Leach Block Model
Track lithology, grade placement, ore properties, and kinetics. Solution On/Off Date and Leach Days are provided for each shape.
