Understanding Geological Structure: The key to drilling efficiency and cost reduction in grade control operations In a surface mine environment, field experimentation makes sure that we understand the geological structure accurately – from dip and strike – completely change the results. At Pansudan Mineral Resources, we integrated geological structure analysis into grade control processes, and saw the difference: 🔍 Precise targeting of ore With the right drilling guidance, we reduced waste and increased extraction efficiency. ♻️ More accurate separation between ore and waste Accurately define structural boundaries and reduce sample interference and increase data quality. 📐 Improved drilling pattern Steering the RC drill perpendicular to the direction of inclination resulted in good coverage with as few pits as possible. ⚠️ Early detection of structural problems Like faults and pleats help us adjust our digging plan early and avoid surprises. 🧭 Reliable geological model Contribute to the connection of every process - from drilling and blasting to production. The bottom line: Every precise structural information with an intelligent production decision = lower cost + better results.
