Improve metallurgical accounting, recovery rates and plant efficiency from mine to market
Since the beginning of the 2000s, mining and metallurgical companies are increasingly enhancing their environmental, social and governance processes due to exogen pressures. Among them, metallurgical accounting receives a growing focus because of the risks attached to inaccurate estimates of metal inventories and production that feed financial reports.
However, metal accounting is not just getting good figures and nice reports at the end of the month. It is a key tool for determining the real performances of a full production process from the mine to the final smelter and refinery. It helps to maximize the value of a company, increase process performances in terms of quantity and quality and ensure good practices.
Collect and aggregate data from various sources is not sufficient to provide accurate metal balances and comply with regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley or with AMIRA P754 principles. Metal accounting is all about data quality. It requires skilled people that could understand sampling and measurement techniques and set procedures across the entire value chain to ensure operational excellence. Get comfortable with our metallurgical accounting course!
