Feasibility studies frequently overlook the criticality of selecting appropriate mining technologies. As a result, technology selection often occurs as a last-minute procurement decision, or the operation defaults to industry norms. This approach often doesn’t align with the specific requirements of the operation in terms of timeline, cost-effectiveness or technological functionality. Therefore, embracing technological advancements in the feasibility study stage isn’t just about staying ahead of the curve; it’s about laying the foundation for a financially sound, environmentally responsible, and ultimately successful mining project.
