OPEN PIT TO UNDERGROUND MINING TRANSITION PROJECT – BRAZIL

REDCO took part in a conceptual study focused on converting an open pit mining operation into a combined scheme with underground mining. The work involved developing technical and infrastructure alternatives to assess the feasibility of implementing both methods in parallel, ensuring operational continuity and extraction efficiency. This analysis delivered a roadmap with strategic milestones and key information requirements to support the following engineering phases.

PREFEASIBILITY STUDY FOR UNDERGROUND OPERATION – USA

REDCO developed a prefeasibility study aimed at mining a copper deposit through underground mining. The work included the assessment of a massive oxide and sulphide body using the Sublevel Stoping method with cemented paste backfill, projecting a production rate of 16,000 tonnes per day and an annual output of 80,000 tonnes of fine copper.

CAVING, ROCK MECHANICS

DRAWPOINT LAYOUT OPTIMIZATION IN UNDERGROUND OPERATION – CHILE

REDCO took part in the reassessment of one of the largest underground caving projects in the world, developing conceptual engineering and constructability analysis focused on gravity flow efficiency, reserve recovery and dilution control. The study included the review and adjustment of drawpoint layouts, proposing spacing modifications to improve rock mass stability and optimize mining recovery over the long term.

INTEGRATED MINE PLAN (LOM) OPTIMIZATION WITH NEW TECHNOLOGIES – PERU

REDCO carried out an integrated Life of Mine (LOM) study in an underground operation characterized by narrow veins and high dilution levels. The work included long-term mine planning and the incorporation of advanced technologies such as ore sorting, processing and smelting, with the aim of improving efficiency and ensuring the operational continuity of the orebody.

STRATEGIC PLANNING

DEVELOPMENT OF A LONG-TERM STRATEGIC VISION – CHILE

REDCO prepared a comprehensive strategic planning study aimed at redefining the business plan of an open pit mining operation. The work included the assessment of initiatives from the mine to the plant, incorporating innovative processes and an optimized mine design to overcome the limitations of the base case and project a more profitable and sustainable scenario.

MINING SYSTEMS SIMULATION, STRATEGIC PLANNING

PRODUCTION AT RISK ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY – CHILE / USA

REDCO implemented an advanced methodology for assessing production at risk, integrating simulation tools into the mine planning process. This approach made it possible to estimate confidence intervals associated with production, analyze the occurrence of bottlenecks and project different operational performance scenarios as part of the budgeting process.

MINING SYSTEMS SIMULATION, ROCK MECHANICS

GEOTECHNICAL RISK ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION MEASURES – CHILE

REDCO developed a mine planning study aimed at assessing extraction compliance in a critical phase of a large-scale open pit. The work involved identifying the impact of different geotechnical events on production, projecting their effect on key performance indicators (KPIs) and assessing mitigation alternatives to ensure operational continuity.

MINING SYSTEMS SIMULATION, STRATEGIC PLANNING

ASSESSMENT OF DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES AND OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY – CHILE

REDCO took part in a mining engineering services agreement aimed at sustaining production at one of the largest copper operations in the world. The work included the preparation and validation of life of mine (LOM) plans, assessing various development initiatives to extend the mine life and ensure long-term production stability.

MINE ENGINEERING STUDIES, STRATEGIC PLANNING

STRATEGIC PLANNING FOR A MULTI-MINE OPERATION – CHILE

REDCO developed a long-term strategic planning study for a group of iron ore operations in different valleys in northern Chile. The purpose of the work was to explore alternatives to outperform the base case, increasing production levels and extending the life of the operations.

MINING SYSTEMS SIMULATION, STRATEGIC PLANNING

MINE-TO-PORT SIMULATION MODEL FOR PRODUCTION DIAGNOSIS – CHILE

REDCO developed an integrated mine-to-port simulation model to diagnose the actual capacity of a multi-valley production system in northern Chile. The purpose of the study was to identify systemic bottlenecks, quantify variability over time and assess the probability of meeting the production plans projected through 2030.
