Integrated Reconciliation Tool: Transforming Data into Strategy
Asturmine developed a centralized digital platform to unify fragmented data, providing real-time visibility and auditable control over the entire mining value chain.
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
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
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
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
