BHP using AI at world’s largest copper mine CanadiansInvest
-NASDAQ]. The aim is to improve copper recoveries at the Escondida mine in Chile, which ranks as the world’s largest copper mine.
“We expect the next big wave in mining to come from the advanced use of digital technologies,’’ she said. “As grades decline at existing copper mines and fewer economic discoveries are made, next generation technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and data analytics will need to be used to unlock more production and value from our existing mines.”
Finding and building new mines is costly, difficult and can take upwards of a decade. So miners are looking to the next generation technologies to reap more metal out of existing mines and processes. “By using real-time plant data from the concentrators in combination with AI-based recommendations from Microsoft’s Azure platform, the concentrator operations at Escondida will have the ability to adjust operational variables that affect ore processing and grade recovery.’’
