System and method for activating deep raffinate injection based on ore placement

A method comprising:

• determining, by one or more processors, recovery locations for remaining recoverable minerals in second areas of ore placement locations in a stockpile, based on historical leaching process data for first areas of the ore placement locations in the stockpile, wherein the first areas are different from the second areas;
• and
• wherein the ore placement locations are determined by:
• aggregating mineralogy details to a section level by combining mine material tracking (MMT) truckload data at a dump level, MMT imputation data at the dump level and MMT final section mapping data at the dump level and the section level;
• obtaining maximum days under leach (DUL) for each section at the section level by using irrigation data over the stockpile at the section level;
• and
• determining an intermediate ore map for the stockpile by combining the aggregating mineralogy details, the maximum DUL for each section and a primary new section polygon;
• and
• activating, by the one or more processors, deep raffinate injection in the second areas of the ore placement locations in the stockpile that are determined to have the recovery locations for the remaining recoverable minerals.

A method comprising:

• determining, by one or more processors, a primary ore map for a stockpile by adding flow data, irrigation data and a remaining mineral prediction from a machine learning model to obtain information by section and by date for the stockpile;
• determining, by the one or more processors, recovery locations for remaining recoverable minerals in areas of the stockpile, based on the primary ore map and historical leaching process data for the stockpile;
• and
• activating, by the one or more processors, deep raffinate injection in the areas of the stockpile that are determined to have the recovery locations for the remaining recoverable minerals.

A method comprising:

• determining ore placement locations for ore by determining mineralogy for a stockpile by:
• aggregating, by one or more processors, mineralogy details to a section level by combining mine material tracking (MMT) truckload data at a dump level, MMT imputation data at the dump level and MMT final section mapping data at the dump level and the section level;
• obtaining, by the one or more processors, maximum days under leach (DUL) for each section at the section level by using irrigation data over all stockpiles at the section level;
• and
• determining, by the one or more processors, an intermediate ore map of the ore placement locations for a stockpile by combining the aggregating mineralogy details, the maximum DUL for each section and a primary new section polygon;
• determining, by the one or more processors, recovery locations for remaining recoverable minerals in second areas of the ore placement locations in the stockpile, based on an historical leaching process data for first areas of the ore placement locations in the stockpile, wherein the first areas are different from the second areas;
• and
• activating, by the one or more processors, deep raffinate injection in the second areas of the ore placement locations in the stockpile that are determined to have the recovery locations for the remaining recoverable minerals.
