• All functions require “AS IS”

• If “AS IS” is not accurate process can not be optimized• If “AS IS” is not accurate process can not be optimized

• Destroyers of Value:

• Sending ore to waste dumps (loss)

• Sending waste to the processing plant (dilution)

• Mining in a sequence different from the optimal sequence

• Sending the improper blend of raw material to the processing plant

(lower recovery)
