Crimes against Mine Planning: The Major Pitfalls in Mine Planning and How Do We Solve Them

Introduction

Poor mine planning and lack of understanding of how to effectively execute a mine plan cost the mining industry billions every year - and that is no exaggeration.  Mine planning is a complex beast that we constantly undervalue by throwing inadequately prepared mining engineers at it, we arm them with inadequate tools and systems, and then we ask them to create mine plans focussed on driving performance improvement, rather than the correct decisions and actions.

To discuss the most common pitfalls in mine planning, whether they can be overcome, and how best to face them, we'd like to invite you to join us for a free webinar, Crimes against Mine Planning: The Major Pitfalls in Mine Planning and How Do We Solve Them? on Thursday 11 August, 10.30am-11.30am CAT.

This thought Leadership Webinar will be hosted by Decoda's BDM Productivity solutions, Roger Lambson, and CEO of Focal Mining Solutions, Mike Bowater.

We look forward to seeing you there.
