Open Pit to Underground PLODtrack can track all of your PLOD related activities. Simplicity through Validation

WHAT IS PLODTRACK? PLODtrack is a Mine Production Data Management System designed to track the performance of your mine from the mine design through to the mill, and even beyond in some instances. The intent behind the design of the system is logical simplicity through data validation, which incorporates all of the major data tracking needs of both open pit and underground mining operations. A system that is scalable from a small single site up to multiple sites for any company tracking a wide variety of analytes and comparing against the mine design. Suitable for Contractors or Mine Owners with or without Contractors PLODtrack provides connectivity and capability to improve efficiencies and understanding of Mine performance. Users have the ability to track all of your daily PLOD Sheets either by manual entry or a tablet interface with LiveMine by AMPS creating a very powerful and efficient data management system. PLODtrack is a strategic product for Scope Systems and has an extensive and exciting development road map in progress today.

Survey Records Data

The process diagram adjacent illustrates the primary data flows within PLODtrack. The first step for mine production is to input the Drill plan which should include drilling and charging activities along tonnes and grades for each stope or block which can be imported into PLODtrack from your drill design software via Excel. As soon as this is completed the drilling PLOD data can reference back to the design, limiting errors and providing the first stage or reconcilable data. After the location is drilled and fired then we can easily track material movements incorporating Tonnes and Grades for each transaction all the way to the BIN or Mill.

DRILL PLANS PLODtrack uses the Drill Plans for Open Pit or Underground as the starting point for the reconciliation process. This is the data that is referenced in the initial drill PLOD sheets which in turn connects to the charge and fire PLODs. The Drill Plan data grids for open pit or underground are different in terms of data and detail PLODtrack, users interact with both in the same way. Its is no problem for one mine to have a pit or pits and a decline all accumulating at the ROM in PLODtrack.

UG DRILL PLANS The process of mine reconciliation starts with connecting what is expected to happen compared with what actually happens in the mine. The key to making the process as easy as possible in PLODtrack is utilising the drill plan import features that allow engineers to import the drill and charge plans for stoping underground or block plans with open pits. Key elements included within the Underground drill plans are;

Long Hole Drilling

• Stope ID • Ring Number • Product • Design Tonnes • Design Grade

• Design Dilution • Diluted Grade • Design Grades for 5 Analytes • Hole ID

• Drill Metres • Drill Diameter • Charge Metres

Bogging

As Haulage PLODs are entered against the fired parcel within the Stope, the Geologists can see exactly how this location has performed within the Location Tonnes and Grade table within PLODtrack, there is more detail in this further on in the PLODtrack Parcels section.

OPEN PIT DRILL PLANS Similar to the Underground drill plan management process PLODtrack allow engineers to import the drill and charge plans for the block.

Key elements included within the Open Pit drill plans are;

Production Drilling

• Plan ID • Location • Design Holes • Hole Depth • Diameter

• Total Drill Metres • Charge Holes • Charge Metres • Block Code • Product

• Design Grade • Design Grades for 5 Analytes • Design Tonnes

Auto Create Parcels of Ore

Drill Plan PLODtrack users import the drill plans created in 3rd party software for underground, when this is done the Drill plan can be referenced during the Drill PLOD data entry. Below we fire and haul from Parcel from the first three rings

PLODtrack PARCELS A Parcel in PLODtrack is simply a subset of a greater area, for example in a Stope if we fire 3 of the 20 Rings then the 3 rings becomes a sub location or child location of the Stope. To do this seamlessly PLODtrack uses the drill plan design data combined with the shot ID and a parcel suffix to automatically create new mineable locations that are child locations of the overall stope based on what’s actually been fired. This process happens automatically for the Geologists and no effort is required as it’s automated based on the link between the;

Drill Plan in PLODtrack

Shot ID

PLODtrack users then create a name for the Shot (eg: 100-100-LHS1) and also add a Parcel Suffix (eg: R1-3 indicating first three rings of the Stope) to allow PLODtrack to create a logical auto name for the new sub location when its fired.

• Drill Plan Design Data (+) • Shot ID and Parcel Suffix (+)

Auto Location Generation

PLODtrack will auto connect the Drill Plan to the Shot ID during the charge and fire PLOD entry and the create a new Parcel Location. PLODtrack will also auto create the full data string for the Geologists and this will in turn be auto updated from Haulage PLODs for location performance.

• Charge and Fire PLODs • For broken stock and Parcel Grade performance we use then Haulage PLODs to deplete the Parcel

StockpilE management

PLODtrack allows users to configure Stockpiles a number of different ways to assist with grouping and reporting. Reclaim by LIFO, FIFO or WAG you decide.

ROM Finger Management Process

ROM Stockpile

ROM FINGER MANAGEMENT

The user starts every month with an Opening Balance (Volume / Tonnes and Grade) for each ROM Finger. Every time a hauling record adds Tonnes (indicated by Green Arrow) to the ROM Finger the Balance will auto update based on the Source Location Grade. In addition every time the ROM Loader or Crusher Tonnes is updated (Indicated by Red Arrow) the depletion record for the ROM finger will auto update recalculating the Tonnes/Grade and Metal Balance.

Hauling

PLODtrack allows the geologists to easily get insight into what has happened on each ROM finger very quickly. When a user opens the ROM stockpile detail tab there is a summary illustrating the opening and current positions of the stockpile. In the table below is the detail of each transaction, be it build or reclaim. Each detail line item has a significant amount of data attached to it illustrated below;

Current Balance

Methods of reclaim are LIFO, FIFO or WAG.

• Date / Time / Shift • Equipment ID • Source Location (If known)

• Actual Grade (Either diluted or call) • Metal Added or Depleted • Balance Tonnes and Metal • Weighted Ave Grade • Add/Reclaim/Zero/ Survey Adjust

ROM Loader

• From Location • Design Grade

ROM Tonnes and Grade details are updated as and when every transaction takes place.

Current Balance

Tonnes and Grade

PLODtrack provides users with a considerable amount of flexibility when it comes to Stockpile Management especially for the ROM. • Build based on grouped hauls or time stamped haulage. • Reclaim based on total tonnes moved, grouped loads, actual tonnes or hauls count with Load Factor.

STOCKPILE MANAGEMENT BUILD PLODtrack has multiple methods to assist users in building and reclaiming Stockpiles most of which have pros and cons. Build - The build methods are completed by either Loading or Haulage Records and these can be completed in a number of ways; • Bulk Manual Entry - this is one easy way of adding a lot of Tonnes in very quickly for Loading or Haulage Records - Because there is no timestamp when you group Loads or Hauls, PLODtrack will assign these tonnes to the End of Shift on the Stockpile. • Manual Entry Time Stamp - PLODtrack has some shortcut keys to make this as fast as possible and the timestamps help build the Stockpile with a more accurate refection of what actually happened during the shift.

• Rehandle from ROM to ROM with instantaneous tonnes and grade calculations.

• Change depletion model (LIFO, FIFO or WAG) by period for any stockpile.

• LiveMine Entry Time Stamp - The timestamps help build with a more accurate reflection of what actually happened

RECONCILIATION Reconciliation varies from site to site so rather than lock the system to one way we provide flexibility through a variety of reports and data management tools empowering users to define their way for each site.

Plan vs Reality

Reconciliation Process

Broken Stock

RECONCILIATION While the process of mine reconciliation will vary from site to site PLODtrack does provide a huge amount of information and reasonable amount of flexibility for user to assist with their reconciliation process. The key to making the process as easy is possible is utilising the drill design plan features within PLODtrack to provide the best information possible by fired location as the starting point for the reconciliation.

Ore is the tracked to the ROM and sent to the crusher and the to the Mill direct or via a crushed ore stockpile PLODtrack will then track haulage records against the source location to calculate real time broken stock and calculate any dilution if tonnes exceed design. Once fired PLODtrack will accumulate t h e de s i gn t on n e s fi r ed t h e n accumulate design metal to calculate the design grade for the shot.

Reconciliation Factors

The Reconciliation Factors table in PLODtrack allows users to define the adjustments required for each Period based Activity. These can if required be connected to Reports to enable a summarised Recon.

Data can now be compared to design and reports produced to initiate the reconciliation process to the Mill.

MULTIPLE ANALYTES PLODtrack has the ability to track up to 6 Analytes in the current version and more in future. For each mine we pick a Primary Element and then the others tag along. These can be turned on and off depending on the needs of the site.

What else have we got?

Multi Analyte within the Drill Plan

MULTIPLE ANALYTES The PLODtrack Drill Plans provide the function to import up to 6 Analytes you might want to track for your mine. Because they are uploaded as part of the drill plan the system will auto track them as part of the haulage function from the source to the mill. Geologist can change the design grade, calculated grade and final or call grade at any time during the mining process for any source location. PLODtrack will then automatically update the total sum quantity for each Analyte on each ROM Finger. Reports can then be created or modified to illustrate the detail of each Analyte across the mine.

1 + 2 = 3.1 (MINE OWNER) One of the challenges we often see with mine owners that use contractors is the parties aligning on the end of period truth, especially for tonnes loaded or hauled, consumables and even drill metres. Often this exercise is managed in excel (Contractor) vs

spread sheets and the data provided back to owner is a consolidated version of the PLOD data. Crucially for the Geologists this data is lacking the grade detail requiring even more time consuming data entry. PLODtrack can help both parties with innovative approach options to data sharing to limit the differences between perceived truth and alignment by using PLODtrack Connect. 1 + 1 = 2

The diagram below illustrates a simplistic picture of the Mine Owners version of PLODtrack system with LiveMine used by the Contractor to capture the Production Data. Aligning Design and Truth

PLODTRACK CONNECT Because PLODtrack has an API connector, mine owners can partner up with their contractors and develop a pair of connected PLODtrack SQL datasets to minimise the gap between design and performance truth, and ultimately mine reconciliation. Assuming both partners use PLODtrack it’s as simple as the Mine Owner providing the Drilling Design Data to the contractor in a format that can be imported into PLODtrack. As the Contractor enters the data into LiveMine it is sync’d to PLODtrack and then data is sent from one version of PLODtrack to the other. The benefit of this is that the Locations are identical and then the grades based on what’s been fired and hauled are seamlessly connected into to the owners version of PLODtrack. This simple logical hand over of data sets improves the timeliness and accuracy of mining data which in turn improves the effectiveness and efficiency of the owners Geology Team. In addition the data is the data and any issues or concerns can be resolved far more effectively. If the Contractor isn’t using or wont use PLODtrack then PLODtrack Connect Lite might be a suitable alternative, please see next page.

The diagram below illustrates a simplistic picture of the Mine Owners version of PLODtrack system with LiveMine used by the Contractor to capture the Production Data. Aligning Design and Truth

PLODTRACK CONNECT LITE PLODtrack Connect Lite is a a creative way of controlling the data flow on your mine should your Contractor use a different mine data management system to PLODtrack. The concept is that the Mine Owner would provide the Contractor with a suite of LiveMine tablets that would be used in the Contractors Equipment. As the Contractor enters the PLODs the data would be sent to the Owners version of PLODtrack at the same time as the Contractors

Mine Data Management System. The benefits of this model are;

• Timeliness of data • Ownership of data • Quality of data • Location based Grades provided back to the Owner

INTEGRATION

PLODtrack has a number of integration options for data inputs and outputs.

The image flow below shows the workflow for PLODtrack and LiveMine

LIVEMINE DATA ENTRY Scope Systems Pty Ltd has partnered up with AMPS Pty Ltd to develop a tablet data entry system that is BUILT BY MINERS FOR MINERS. This system operates on data validated from the PLODtrack Database and returns results to PLODtrack as and when the tablets have access to the mine site communications network. There a number of key benefits of the LiveMine Tablet data entry system; 2. Data is available in PLODtrack as and when it is synchronised to the network 3. Long Hole Drill Plans available on the tablet 4. Data validated direct from and back to PLODtrack 5. Single point of data entry, less double handling of data 6. Shift Boss can confirm and adjust prior to saving 7. Time stamps on every transaction which helps with LIFO and FIFO. 1. No manual data entry

Connected!

The integration diagram below illustrates a high level example of how this concept might be applied. The PLODtrack SQL server would call data from your PLC SQL server on a scheduled basis and display this data in the PLODtrack user interface. Any data can be overwritten should the API or PLC fail.

PLC InTEGRATION PLODtrack has the capability to integrate with your process plant PLC SQL Server to bring across totalised data through the PLODtrack API. The benefit of this level of integration is that users can collect plant or process data that otherwise might sit in a Scada System. Examples of what data might be bought across and totalised per shift include;

• Conveyor tonnes shift total • Mill Tonnes Total • Tails Pump Total • Start Stop Mill Hours

• Crusher Operating Hours • Tanks Totals • Bin Totals • Unit Counts

It’s important to note that PLODtrack is NOT a plant control system (SCADA or CITECT) but can provide another view of what otherwise might be seperate data. Any data configuration in the PLC tables and reports would be a site specific tailoring exercise given every plant is unique.

The integration diagram below illustrates a high level example of how this concept might be applied.

ERP InTEGRATION PLODtrack has the capability to integrate with your ERP data through the PLODtrack API. This is a relatively simple excursive if your business uses PRONTO Xi as we are the primary mining resellers of PRONTO. If your business uses a different ERP System then we can co discover the effort required to determine the potential business case for this level of effort.

Examples of what data might be bought across include;

• Staff Names • Inventory • Equipment ID’s

Examples of what data might be bought back to the ERP include;

• Equipment Run Hours • Inventory Used

PLODTRACK FOR ENGINEERS

PLODtrack helps the Engineers collaborate with the Geologists by ensuring that the Drill Plan Data is accurately represented within PLODtrack, there is a significant number of key benefits associated with using PLODtrack end to end so that the mine site can track performance from the Drill Plan to Mill!

Auto Create Parcels of Ore

Drill Plan PLODtrack users import the drill plans created in 3rd party software for underground, when this is done the Drill plan can be referenced during the Drill PLOD data entry. Below we fire and haul from Parcel from the first three rings

ENGINEERS While PLODtrack won’t help Engineers with the actual Drill Plan design it does provide an excellent handover from the Design to the first stages of the mining process. The key production benefit being that the actual PLODs entered always relate back to the Engineers plans and therefor less errors will occur. For Production, PLODtrack connects the design to the actual performance of the mine for both Tonnes and Grade, from Drill Plan all the way to the Mill. For Development and ground support PLODtrack can track development progress, consumables used for ground support and blasting.

Drill Plan in PLODtrack

Shot ID

PLODtrack users then create a name for the Shot (eg: 100-100-LHS1) and also add a Parcel Suffix (eg: R1-3 indicating first three rings of the Stope) to allow PLODtrack to create a logical auto name for the new sub location when its fired.

Auto Location Generation

PLODtrack will auto connect the Drill Plan to the Shot ID during the charge and fire PLOD entry and the create a new Parcel Location. PLODtrack will also auto create the full data string for the Geologists and this will in turn be auto updated from Haulage PLODs for location performance.

PLODTRACK FOR DATA ENTRY CLERKS

A number of site based data entry staff have provided feedback into how to get the data into PLODtrack as fast as possible. To eliminate 90% of manual data entry we would recommend the LiveMine Data Tablets, if that’s not an option for your business we have significant data validation to improve accuracy and keyboard shortcuts to improve data entry time.

CTR-A is KING!!!

Fast Data with Validation

Drill Plan PLODtrack users import the drill plans created in 3rd party software, when this is done the Drill Plan can be referenced during the Drill PLOD data entry. Below, we Fire and Haul from Parcel from the first three rings in this example. Drill Plan in PLODtrack

FAST DATA ENTRY PLODtrack has a number of features that decrease data entry time and also improve data entry accuracy. • Speed of Data Entry - Nothing will be faster than LiveMine to get the data into PLODtrack as this is done by the operators of the Equipment. • Accuracy of Data Entry - Even if your site uses LiveMine the accuracy of data depends on the quality of the set up of PLODtrack and then the import of Drill Plans. If the Drill Plans are imported then the accuracy and speed of entry is best in class. • Manual Data Entry - if the site doesn’t use LiveMine then PLODtrack has several key features to reduce lost time through data entry. 1. Control + A - this saves the last record and duplicates it so entry staff can simply just change the differences; Eg Time Stamp 2. Drill Plan Links - When entering Drill and Blast PLODs the data entry is directly linked to the Drill Plan so entry staff can pick from the list and blast a number of holes in one simple data entry line, PLODtrack then AUTO FILLS all the drilling transactions. 3. Parcel Auto Generate - When the Drill Plan is picked, drilled, charged and fired, PLODtrack AUTOMATICALLY CREATES a new mineable Child Parcel Location.

When the Drill Plans is imported, data entry staff can pick from the list for the holes they want to Drill and or Charge. If you want to Drill all holes pick all holes, if part thereof simply tick them. PLODtrack will then create a record for each drilling transaction based on design. Drill and Charge Hole List

PLODTRACK FOR GEOLOGISTS

A number of site based Geologists have played a role in the development of PLODtrack to provide the functionality that they needed to manage the day to day activity of their mines.

Design vs Actual Grades

Figure 1.0 - PLODtrack Location Tonnes and Grades

GEOLOGIST- Production The transparency of the data with PLODtrack makes the role of the Geologist a lot simpler especially if accurate Drill and Blast Plans are uploaded into PLODtrack by the Mine Engineers. Assuming the the Source Location Design Tonnes and Grade are uploaded and the Haulage PLOD sheets are entered, PLODtrack will auto populate the Locations Tonnes and Grade Table along with the current performance of that location based on Tonnes Hauled from it. PLODtrack will auto calculate dilution for every Analyte tracked. At this point technically the Geologists haven’t had to do much other than view the data and perhaps add a comment. Figure 1.0 on the right illustrates and auto generated parcel of Ore from a Drill Plan and the details of each column in the system.

Location - PLODtrack will auto generate a new sub location as a child of the parent Stope in this case 100-100-LHS3 based on the Parcel Suffix within the Shot ID. In this

Metal - PLODtrack will use the best information it has to calculate the Metal Hauled to date from the Source Location, This could be Design or Design Plus Dilution at whatever Grade the Geo decide that should be. Or if filled in the Call or Final Grade! Fired Date - Auto updated from the Charge and Fire PLOD! Over/ Under (T) - If Haul Tonnes exceed the Design Tonnes Fired then this will auto update! Over/ Under (g) - This is the grade that the Geologists want to use for any dilution Tonnes. It can be 0.00 or more! Diluted Actual Grade - This is the calculated grade that the PLODtrack determines based on the grade inputs and any dilution! Other Analytes - PLODtrack can track grades of 5 additional Analytes from Design through to diluted

Product - Is auto picked from the Drill Plan

Profile - Is used for UG development Volume x Product SG. Design Tonnes - Is summed from the Ring Detail within the Drill Plan Fired! Design Grade - Is metal summed from the Ring Detail within the Drill Plan Fired divided back into the Design Tonnes! Design Metal - Is metal summed from the Ring Detail within the Drill Plan Fired! Hauled Tonnes - Is Tonnes hauled from this exact Source Location! Final Grade - Is Geologist Final or Call Grade for every Tonne Hauled from this Source Location!

Not sure where we did that!

Figure 1.0 - Source Location Allocator

GEOLOGIST - DAILY In a mine is using paper PLODs it can be a common occurrence especially in UG development where the operators won’t know the exact location they are working, bogging or hauling from and update their PLOD sheets with vague information accordingly, the absence of accurate data impedes the reconciliation process and wasting valuable time. To assist the Geologists we have developed a Source Location Allocator function in PLODtrack that allows the Geologists to run a location by date based firing routine to see what’s been fired and what’s been hauled from it based on the raw PLOD Data. If an obvious error in the data has been observed, for example over haulage from one location then the Geologists can select the firing in the top table and then highlight the Haulage transactions in the lower table and then re allocate Haulage PLODs to correct bulk differences. This will correct the PLOD sheets and update the Broken Stock and update all of the Grades accordingly.

Step 1

Review the data in the top table

a n d f o r ob v i o u s

Step 2

Select the firing from the top table that is in error

Select the haul transactions in the lower table that you wish to reallocate the haulage to.

Step 3

Step 4

Press “Update Selected Hauls

Key benefit - Geologists can very quickly update Haulage PLODs with accurate Source location Data based on Fired dates and Broken Stock!

PLODTRACK FOR the SHIFT BOSS

To help the shift boss we have a number of different methods for getting data out of PLODtrack.

Here is what happened!

SHIFT BOSS

PLODtrack has a number of reports and data screens to help the Shift Boss review what has happened in the Mine.

PLODTRACK FOR SURVEYORS

PLODtrack helps surveyors keep track of;

• Stockpiles

• Advance

• Volume - CMS

How far did we go?

Figure 1.0 - PLODtrack Survey Table

SURVEYOR

Site surveyors have the ability to track and store survey data in PLODtrack. For Underground and Open Pit Development and Production we can add Design vs Actual m3 and also capture a significant amount of data relating to the Surveyed location. The PLODtrack Survey table is also connected back to the Contract to enable reporting of a particular location type for Claim Reporting or Cost Reporting. For Stockpiles we can update Volumes at any time and of course at end of period.

Location - A pick list of valid locations is available for Surveyors to pick the Location from. Survey Date - Add the date Operation Type - Allows users to allocate a Op Type for reporting purposes! Development Type - Pick from a list of Development Types for reporting if required! Cost Category - Pick Operating Cost or Capital Cost! Product Group - Pick the valid product for the surveyed location Claim Item - The Survey table is linked directly to the Contract Claim Item Table so that PLODtrack can connect items such as Advance Mtrs to a Claim Rate for the Claim Report. Start Chainage - Picks up from the last closing balance for same named drives!

Advance Volume - Is auto calculated based on the Profile Area x Advance Metres. Gradients - Surveyors can pick from the UG Gradients. Design Stripping - Surveyors or Engineers can add Design Stripping M3. Adv Volume + Design Stripping - PLODtrack sums the Calculated Volumes. Surveyed Volume - Surveyors entire the CMS for the Survey. Overbreak m3 and % - PLODt rack calculates the difference between design and actual for the Survey. End Chainage - Surveyors add end chainage values in so PLODtrack can then calculate Advance Metres. Tramming - Surveyors can add Tramming metres in for UG bogging if that is required. Planned Profile - Surveyors can pick from the UG Profiles.

CONSUMABLES Keeping track of what is consumed in your mine can be critical to both owners and operators. PLODtrack has auto prompts to ensure that any inventory used is logged and trackable to the source location.

What have we consumed?

Inventory Allocation Process The system has an Inventory Table that can be allocated across all sites or site specific. Inventory can be grouped into Operations Types as well limiting selection to certain Equipment Types.

CONSUMABLES

As users enter PLODs into PLODtrack they can easily allocate consumables used for any activity in the mine. The system can be configured to “auto pop up” the inventory list from individual PLOD sheets which allows users to simply to pick the item and then add the units of consumption.

If required reports can be generated illustrating consumption by;

The image below illustrates the Inventory pop up that is triggered automatically when the jumbo record is saved

• Equipment ID • Employee • Location • Inventory Item

• Run Rate to end of period • MTD consumption • Run Rate vs Stock if connected to your ERP
