System and method for adjusting leaching operations based on leach analytic data

An article of manufacture including a non-transitory, tangible computer readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• conducting, by the processor, leaching operations for mining production;
• acquiring, by the processor, mining data from sensors that monitor the mining production;
• determining, by the processor, deviations between forecast data for a mining production target during a time period and the mining data for the mining production after the time period;
• determining, by the processor, a contribution to the deviations by each of a plurality of parameters, in response to changing each of the plurality of parameters from the forecast data to the mining data;
• and
• adjusting, by the processor, the leaching operations to optimize the mining production based on the plurality of parameters.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a tangible, non-transitory memory configured to communicate with the processor, the tangible, non-transitory memory having instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• conducting, by the processor, leaching operations for mining production;
• acquiring, by the processor, mining data from sensors that monitor the mining production;
• determining, by the processor, deviations between forecast data for a mining production target during a time period and the mining data for the mining production after the time period;
• determining, by the processor, a contribution to the deviations by each of a plurality of parameters, in response to changing each of the plurality of parameters from the forecast data to the mining data;
• and
• adjusting, by the processor, the leaching operations to optimize the mining production based on the plurality of parameters.
