CHALLENGES

What decisions are you making today to ensure the productivity of your mining operation in the coming years?

Strategic decisions based on generic assumptions can compromise the long-term viability and competitiveness of a mining operation. Expanding mining fronts, optimizing results, modernizing plants, or structuring logistics processes requires applied intelligence, advanced technologies, and data-driven decisions.

Recent studies show that the use of Digital Twins can increase operational productivity by up to 20% and reduce maintenance costs by 15%. In addition, AI-based solutions have boosted transport efficiency by up to 20% in mining operations.

At EYF, we use advanced technologies to turn operational data into strategic decisions that are assertive, precise, and results-driven. Our commitment is to enhance intelligence in decision-making, generating tangible gains in productivity, efficiency, and financial return at every stage of the mining value chain.

SOLUTIONS

EYF: specialized consulting in transformation, digital planning, and risk analysis

With our customized solutions, we support major mining companies in making strategic decisions, promoting more assertive investments, optimizing logistics processes, reducing lead time, and increasing operational and financial efficiency.

Digital Twin

Talk to EYF

Experience future scenarios of your operation based on real-time, updated data. This approach allows you to monitor operational performance, anticipate failures, test process alternatives, and make strategic decisions with greater confidence, enhancing efficiency, reducing costs, and strengthening risk management.

Expand the Digital Twin concept, allowing mining to evolve into a highly predictive and automated digital environment.

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning

Talk to EYF

RailWorks

Talk to EYF

Evaluate different railway logistics configurations to optimize routes, allocate resources intelligently, and reduce bottlenecks in ore transport.

DHB 4.0

Integrate real-time operational data, enabling enhanced control over production and data-driven decisions.

RapidMiner

Uses advanced data analysis and machine learning to predict failures, identify patterns, and optimize operations. With this solution, mining companies can make strategic decisions based on concrete data, improving productivity and reducing waste.

STAGES

Our methodology for transforming data into high-impact decisions in mining

10 Steps to Smarter, More Efficient, and More Profitable Mining

01

Open Pit and Underground

Strategic definition of mining boundaries, considering ore net value and development costs. The goal is to maximize asset value by precisely defining what should be mined and what should be discarded.

02

Mining Phases

Optimized design of operational phases, prioritizing early access to higher-value ore and postponing waste and development costs without compromising future flow.

03

Mining Sequencing

Definition of the best mining sequence and pace, adjusting development, waste, and production to maximize value over time, balancing cash generation and operational sustainability.

04

Dynamic Cut-Off Grade

Intelligent management of cut-off grade, dynamically adjusted based on the economic value of ore and system bottlenecks. This strategy maximizes margins and cash flow while adapting to operational and market changes.

05

Stockpile and Inventory Management

Strategic use of stockpiles and intermediate inventories to prioritize higher-value materials in the short term, creating operational flexibility and optimizing economic performance.

06

Blending Management

Control of ore characteristics over time, considering operational and commercial constraints. Blending is treated as an economic lever, directly impacting recovery, product quality, and financial outcomes.

07

Plant Capacity and Performance

Dynamic adjustment of plant feed rate, balancing operating costs, recovery, and capacity utilization. We assess the economic impact of operating under different production regimes.

08

Product Mix and Specifications

Ongoing evaluation of product mix, specifications, and their impact on economic results. When properly planned, production flexibility leads to significant gains in margins and profitability.

09

Integrated Logistics

Optimization of the logistics chain, considering costs, bottlenecks, and constraints. Logistics ceases to be treated merely as a cost and becomes a strategic variable for maximizing value.

10

Capital Allocation

Investment decisions evaluated in an integrated manner. Joint analysis of assets, expansions, and projects helps prioritize investments that truly increase the operation’s value, maximizing returns and mitigating risks.

Integrated Strategic Planning Meeting

Duration: 12 hours

Practical training for senior management. We present the methodology, key concepts, and the application of Integrated Strategic Planning, enabling multidisciplinary teams to align their vision and decisions.

Opportunity Assessment

Duration: 3–5 days

A quick and objective diagnosis of the operation, analyzing key operational inefficiencies, value drivers, and estimating potential gains. We assess data readiness and the feasibility of applying EYF methodologies, supporting quick decisions on next steps.

Strategic Options Study

Duration: 4–8 weeks

High-level analysis for early-stage projects. Scenario structuring of scope, capacity, phases, flowcharts, and operational alternatives to support strategic decision-making and guide Pre-Feasibility and Feasibility Studies.

Business Optimization

Duration: 4–6 months

comprehensive study that replicates the current operation, applies our methodology, and delivers a new, more efficient Life of Mine Plan aligned with the full potential of the asset.

  • Month 1 – Current scenario: Validation and audit of existing plans.
  • Month 2 – Optimized scenario: Application of the 10 steps of Integrated Strategic Planning, Activity-Based Costing, and Theory of Constraints.
  • Month 3 – Scenarios: Analysis of various hypotheses regarding market, technology, scalability, and sustainability.

Final delivery: A robust plan with full clarity on risks, opportunities, and value generation levers.
