Blending Optimization Leads to Enhanced Throughput
Due to process constraints, the blending process used components exclusively from raw material stockpiles for four months of the year. During that period, net recovery, throughput, and up time were well below standards for other times of the year. After some adjustments all three areas improved, which reaped $11.5 million dollars in financial benefits for the gold mine operation in Asia.
