Maximizing asset value through meticulous technical audits and advanced engineering optimization.
For the Swambo project, AVEC CONSULTING focused on de-risking the investment and optimizing the economic extraction of copper and cobalt. Our intervention transformed raw data into a strategic mining plan designed to maximize profitability while maintaining high operational standards.
Comprehensive Technical Due Diligence
We conducted a high-level audit of all historical and current geological datasets. This process involved verifying drill hole databases, sampling protocols, and assay results to identify hidden project risks while highlighting high-grade upside potential that had previously been overlooked.
Mineral Resource Estimation
Utilizing industry-standard geostatistical modeling software, our team performed an accurate calculation of ore volumes and grades. By applying sophisticated kriging techniques and block modeling, we provided a reliable estimation of the resource base, categorized by confidence levels (Inferred, Indicated, and Measured).
Strategic Pit Optimization
We engineered efficient open-pit designs using advanced Whittle optimization algorithms. By balancing stripping ratios against metal prices and processing costs, we defined the ultimate pit shell that maximizes the project’s Net Present Value (NPV) and ensures a sustainable life-of-mine (LOM) plan.
