AI recommendations for ore processing and reagent dosing
Aura Minerals reported production gains of up to 5%–10% from operational AI
Problem
Changing ore composition required frequent equipment adjustments to recover gold. Operators had relied mainly on their experience to set the process.
Approach
Aura developed operational AI internally. Models assessed material characteristics and recommended processing adjustments almost in real time. They also supported reagent dosing to reduce metal losses.
Results
Takeaway
The recommendations supported decisions operators already made repeatedly. Reported production gains varied by operating unit.
