Mining Claim – All Is Not As It Appears

In this briefing we focus on mining claims, and share our knowledge and technical expertise on one of the loss measurement issues regularly encountered in mining claims, production bottlenecks.

What you will learn from reading the article include:

1. How the interaction between different processes can affect loss
2. Understanding the relevance of production bottlenecks in measuring loss.

Mining is a series of complex processes with a simple objective of extracting a natural resource from the ground and getting it to market in a form useful to the end user. These can be broken down into a number of independent steps or separate processes that depend on each other and deliver the input to the next production step. Each element has critical plant and equipment, which if damaged or broken can impact the production process.
