The Challenge

Where the client started

A mining group’s month-end reconciliation regularly disputed survey volumes against weighbridge records, and its auditors had begun qualifying the discrepancies.

The Outcome

Where they ended up

Thirty-six consecutive monthly cycles at ±1.2% repeatability. Reconciliation variances fell inside auditor tolerance from the third cycle onward, and the qualification was removed at the next annual audit.

Our Approach

How we delivered

1

Standardised RTK UAV capture protocol with fixed control networks at all four sites

2

Consistent surface-generation methodology locked in a documented procedure auditors could review

3

Monthly stockpile and pit-progression volumetrics with cut/fill against prior epoch

4

Reconciliation reporting formatted to the group’s finance close timetable

Deliverables
  • Monthly volumetric reports per site
  • Pit progression models
  • Cut/fill epoch comparisons
  • Documented methodology pack
  • Auditor liaison support
