Centralized resource, planning, production, and plant data

Replaced manual spreadsheets with an auditable database

Automated KPI tracking for tonnage and grade variances

Significant reduction in technical data processing time

1. Context

Mine reconciliation is the critical link between the geological model, mine planning, and actual production. However, many operations struggle with fragmented workflows and disconnected databases.

  • Multiple versions of the same information leading to confusion
  • Manual processes that consume high-value technical time
  • Limited traceability of deviations and lack of integrated visibility
In operations where small variations impact financial performance, transparency and control of the reconciliation process are essential.

2. Challenge

The client already had a defined reconciliation framework, but it was structuraly fragmented. The goal was to transform a manual process into an integrated, decision-oriented system.

  • Integrate resource models, mine planning, and plant data into a single source of truth
  • Eliminate reliance on manual, high-risk spreadsheets
  • Improve the traceability of deviations between model, plan, and actuals
  • Develop clear, visual KPIs for both technical and operational management

3. Solution

Asturmine developed a fully integrated reconciliation tool designed to centralize the entire workflow within a single digital platform featuring an interactive dashboard.

  • Centralized database for consistent data across all departments
  • Interactive dashboards for tonnage, grade, and recovery variances
  • Customizable modules for underground or open-pit specific reporting
  • Automated transformation of raw data into structured operational insights
Asturmine does not redefine the client’s methodology—it structures, digitalizes, and strengthens it for operational clarity.

4. Conclusions

4.1. Strategic Decision-Making

By gainining an integrated view of the mining value chain, management can now detect critical deviations earlier and make faster, more agile decisions.

  • Integrated and coherent view of the mining value chain
  • Accelerated internal reporting and audit cycles
  • Early detection of grade and tonnage deviations
➡️ Operational impact: Transforming reconciliation from a post-mortem report into an active management tool.

4.2. Technical Efficiency

Technical teams experienced a significant reduction in time spent on manual data consolidation, allowing them to focus on high-value analysis.

  • Significant reduction in time spent on manual data consolidation
  • Increased confidence in technical reporting and audit processes
  • Standardized reporting hierarchy and defined KPIs
➡️ Operational impact: Proactive risk management and stronger financial performance through reliable data.
