Mining production reconciliation: from pit to dispatch
Short answerMining production reconciliation compares quantities at each step, from extraction to crushing, stockpiles and dispatch, to find where material is gained or lost on paper. Figures drift because each step is measured differently and recorded separately. Linking weighbridges, production entries and stockpile surveys in one system makes differences visible early and traceable to a cause.
Reconciliation points
| Step | Typical measurement |
|---|---|
| Extraction | Truck counts, loads or survey |
| Crusher feed and output | Weighbridge or belt scale |
| Stockpiles | Periodic volume survey |
| Dispatch | Weighbridge |
Why figures drift
- Different units and measurement methods at each step
- Manual entry and late entry
- Moisture and density assumptions
- Unrecorded internal movements
How software helps
- Weighments captured automatically
- One material code across all steps
- Variance reports by step and period
- Audit trail for every adjustment
Frequently asked
How often should we reconcile?
Daily for weighbridge-based steps and monthly against stockpile surveys is a common practice.
