Tactical and strategic planning for dam portfolio using ORE2_Tailings

Tactical and strategic planning for dam portfolio using ORE2_Tailings is the third of a series of blogposts explaining how to use ORE2_Tailings™ results. Indeed it follows: Dam portfolio ORE2_Tailings support for decision makers and ORE2_Tailings supports ICMM global industry standard on tailings management conformance. We use the same figures we have developed in those prior discussions. Summary of the portfolio ORE2_Tailings™ results With respect to probability of failure The portfolio of ten dams is made of two “bad apple” dams…

Dam portfolio ORE2_Tailings support for decision makers

Dam portfolio ORE2_Tailings support for decision makers follows-up on a prior example. We will show how to interpret the graph we present in that prior post. Dams probabilities of failure and ORE2_Tailings benchmarking at portfolio level. The portfolio of ten dams is displayed on the annualized probability of failure graph, together with the world-wide benchmarks. This graph shows dams: AA1 entirely under the benchmark range, AA3 straddling the benchmark range (uncertainty on the worse case pf estimate slightly above benchmark),…

Dam portfolio ORE2_Tailings support for ICMM standard on tailings management.

Dam portfolio ORE2_Tailings support for ICMM standard on tailings management (GISTM) is multifaceted. ORE2_Tailings™ is a risk assessment platform specifically Riskope designed specifically for tailings systems. When we deploy it to a portfolio of dams, possibly over multiple properties, it allows for tactical and strategic planning. We have already discussed the single dam case in relation to ICMM • Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (2020)  and the conformance protocols. Today we present an example of deployment at portfolio level.…

Risk tolerance for tactical and strategic planning

We discuss risk tolerance for tactical and strategic planning using an excerpt from a case study in our forthcoming book. The title is Convergent Leadership – Divergent Exposures and the case study is in Chapter 16. In the book we include three complete case studies with different level of information and requirement. Setting of the case study covering risk tolerance for tactical and strategic planning Kryptonite corp. has three plants shipping bulk material through a wharf called Terminal reached by railroad…

Tolerable risk thresholds

Furthermore, tolerable risk thresholds and appetite for risk is quite different for various key stakeholders, for instance: Mine owner, Regulatory Bodies, Adjacent Communities, etc.   So how can one manage the sometimes divergent tolerable risk thresholds between stakeholders? Additionally, a topic that comes regularly in the mining world is diverging risk tolerance among…
