Operational Optimisation of a Tailings Storage Facility Based on Statistical Analysis of Historical Monitoring Records

Ignacio Ezama, Santiago Pastine, Jaime Pinheiro

This approach was undertaken to optimise the deposition strategy of the Cerro Vanguardia, an gold–silver mine located in Santa Cruz, Argentina and expand its life-of-mine, allowing for tighter construction planning and deferral of construction by several years.
