Kalgoorlie, Boulder and the Goldfields
AI consulting for Kalgoorlie and the Goldfields
AI consulting and metallurgical accounting for Goldfields gold and nickel operations, making the monthly balance reproducible instead of living in one spreadsheet.
What we work on in the Goldfields
Metallurgical accounting
A monthly reconciliation you can reproduce and explain in the same step.
Assay and sampling data
Results that arrive after the material moved, with the period alignment written down.
Plant and circuit history
Historian context so a query can ask about a mill or a circuit.
Maintenance and reliability
Work order history joined to what the equipment was actually doing.
Contractor and site admin
Dockets, timesheets and inductions read once and passed to finance.
The spreadsheet is the risk
On most operations one metallurgist knows which assays to trust and how to treat a drifted weightometer. That judgement stays with your metallurgists. We write the method down so the next person applies the same rules and an auditor can follow them.
- Reconciliation method documented
- Historian work on concentrators and roasters
- Power BI reporting over plant data
How we work with Goldfields operations
Document today's method
A focused first phase maps how the monthly figure is produced now.
On site when it helps
Checking a sampling point is where the model assumes it is.
Remote between visits
Reconciliation and reporting run where the data is, often Perth or the cloud.
Run alongside your metallurgists
The new method runs beside the old one until the figures agree.
Questions
How can AI help Goldfields gold and nickel operations?
The biggest gains usually come from making the monthly metallurgical balance reproducible and joining plant history to maintenance records. AI also reads contractor dockets and timesheets so site admin stops retyping them. We work with Kalgoorlie and Goldfields operations from the data up.
Why does metallurgical accounting drift?
Inputs arrive at different times with different confidence. Assays return days later, weightometers drift between calibrations and stockpiles are estimates, so the monthly figure involves judgement that often lives in one spreadsheet.
Can a metallurgical reconciliation be documented so an auditor can follow it?
Yes. We record which assays are trusted, how stockpile estimates and calibration gaps are treated and how the period is closed, then test the written method by rerunning past months. Your metallurgists keep the judgement calls and sign off the rules.
Can contractor dockets and timesheets be automated for Goldfields sites?
Yes. AI reads dockets, timesheets and induction records as they arrive from site, checks them against purchase orders and rosters, and passes clean entries to finance. Anything that does not match, such as hours over the roster, goes to a person.
Who could reproduce your monthly reconciliation?
If the answer is one person, tell us how the figure is built today.
