Besides the maximization of life-of-mine NPV, the stochastic mathematical model of KPI-COSMO has a risk management component. By using the simulations of multiple sources of uncertainty (geologic or economic), KPI-COSMO allows for minimizing deviations from multiple production targets of the mineral value chain as well as advancing the extraction of less risky areas and delaying riskier areas during the life-of-mine. This differs from conventionally generated mining production plans that are unable to manage the technical risk and hence, usually struggle to meet the planned production targets. As a result, in addition to higher NPV, KPI-COSMO provides more risk-managed long-term production forecasts.
