Geomining & Raw Mix
Objectives
 Determine the most important parameters for safe and efficient quarry operation
 Understand interactions between quarry operations and raw mix preparation
 Understand how to reduce mining cost down to target cost by effective mining
operations
 Use sampling statistics and geo-chemical modelling to optimize cost
 Develop good sampling procedures of materials to maintain quality control of the
process
 Verify pertinence of quarry reserves & the link to raw material handling
 Evaluate and improving raw mix logic and regularity
 Understand importance of standard deviation of raw material and finding
solution to maintain & improve it.
