CCL 360 Method: Integrated Mine Optimization
A new vision for mine strategy. Everything interconnected. CCL 360 is CCL Consultoria's methodology for optimizing mining projects in an integrated way. A single scenario does not represent all possible futures: price, costs, grades, recovery, capacity, and constraints change. Therefore, we connect geology, geotechnics, metallurgy, operation, and economics on a single basis and test each decision across multiple scenarios, variables, and strategies.
01. Strategic Question
We defined with the board the objectives, the scope of analysis, and the critical decisions that the study needs to address.
02. Integrated Base
Geology, geotechnics, metallurgy, operations, and economics are brought together on a single foundation of premises. Better decisions begin with interconnected premises.
03. Scenario Architecture
Multiple scenarios, multiple variables, and multiple strategies: we model different futures and compare paths before deciding.
04. Integrated Mine Optimization
Open-pit, underground, or both combined: we optimize methods, transitions, and sequencing. Interdependent decisions, an integrated strategy.
05. Robustness and Value
NPV, production, risks, sensitivities, and goals. Optimization alone is not enough: the decision must be tested.
06. Strategic Decision: value, risk, and flexibility guide the choice of plan. Robust decisions, maximized value.
07. Continuous Update (adaptive cycle): reconciliation, new data, and scenario review. Learn. Update. Reoptimize.
