Mastering Mine Reconciliation: Real-World Case Studies & Practical Insights- Online only

Online Training | 19 to 21 May 2026 | 4:00–6:00pm AWST each day

Mine reconciliation is one of the most critical controls in modern mining operations. When applied properly, it strengthens governance, improves reporting confidence and drives performance improvement across the mining value chain. When misunderstood, it creates confusion and erodes trust in models and forecasts.

Mastering Mine Reconciliation: Real-World Case Studies and Practical Insights is a practical, case-study-driven online training course led by global reconciliation experts:

• Ian Glacken – Executive Consultant, Snowden Optiro

• Rayleen Hargreaves – Principal Consultant, Datamine

This course focuses on applying modern mine reconciliation frameworks in real operational environments, moving beyond variance reporting to structured diagnosis and continuous improvement.

Why Mine Reconciliation Matters

Accurate reconciliation between the resource model, mine production and processing outcomes underpins:

• Reliable Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve reporting

• Operational performance improvement

• Financial forecasting and cash flow confidence

• Compliance with evolving reporting codes and governance expectations

With increasing industry focus on transparency and defensible reporting, reconciliation is no longer optional. It is a fundamental component of technical risk management.

What You Will Learn

This online reconciliation training course combines practical insights with proven methodologies used in both open pit and underground mining operations.

Participants will gain:

1. A Clear Understanding of Modern Reconciliation Frameworks

• The evolution of mine reconciliation practices

• Application of F series and R series factors

• Best practice approaches to tracking ore loss, dilution and modifying factors

2. Practical Guidance Across the Mining Value Chain

• What should be reconciled at each stage, from resource model to mill

• How sampling, estimation, grade control, mining and processing impact reconciliation outcomes

• Understanding spatial and temporal alignment in reconciliation analysis

3. Diagnosing Variances with Confidence

• Why variances occur in mining operations

• Distinguishing between random error and systematic bias

• Identifying root causes rather than simply reporting differences

4. Real-World Case Studies

• Lessons learned from operational mining environments

• Common reconciliation pitfalls and how to avoid them

• Practical examples of improving governance, reporting transparency and model calibration

Who Should Attend?

This course is ideal for:

• Resource geologists

• Mine geologists and grade control professionals

• Mining engineers

• Metallurgists

• Technical managers

• Professionals responsible for Mineral Resource, Mineral Reserve and production reporting

It is particularly valuable for operations seeking to improve reconciliation performance, strengthen cross-disciplinary alignment, and increase confidence in forecasting and reporting.
