Mining Technology Assessments

Mining technology assists mines in enhancing safety, boosting productivity, lowering costs, and effectively managing or reducing energy consumption. Despite this, many mines overlook its full potential. Our independent, comprehensive, and data-driven assessments examine how effectively an operation is using mining technology to support its needs. Based on these evaluations, we offer practical recommendations to boost technology usage. Recommendations are integrated into a personalised roadmap tailored to each mine’s unique operations, maturity, business goals, and budget constraints.

Operational Assessments

Through a combination of onsite study and data analysis, our approach provides a comprehensive assessment of your mining operation’s performance. Unlike traditional consultancies that primarily rely on observations and anecdotal evidence, our expertise in mining systems and data allows us to delve much deeper. This enables us to offer unique insights and perspectives that often differ from conventional approaches. Our assessments aim to help you identify opportunities for improvement, including enhancing safety, increasing productivity, improving mobile asset reliability, optimising recoveries, and reducing CO2 emissions.

Feasibility Studies: Operational Technology Roadmap

Selecting the right technology and infrastructure during the early stages of a mining operation is crucial for long-term success. Many feasibility studies neglect this aspect, leading to last-minute technology purchases or generic options that may not align with the specific requirements of the operation. This approach can result in cost inefficiencies and technological complexities, negatively impacting the financial viability, environmental sustainability, and scalability of the mining project.

Mining Technology RFI/RFQ Selection Support

Mining technology selection is challenging, with mines often lacking independent advice before making expensive, time-consuming, and potentially operation-changing purchases. MTS helps operations choose the right technology by studying your operation so a full picture of all operational needs and challenges is understood. We provide unbiased assessments of mining technologies and assist with the development and management of requests for information (RFIs) and requests for quotations (RFQs). Click here to speak to one of the MTS team about how we can help you choose the right technology the first time around.
