CASE STUDY Site: Mine Antucoya OVERVIEW Since 2015 Mine Antucoya has been controlling the construction of the pit walls using two metrics in order to improve the stability, safety and economic value of the mine, namely: (1) the Design Factor, to evaluate the as-built compliance to design; and (2) the Condition Factor, to assess the health, damage and scaling of the bench faces. The monitoring and control using these metrics has resulted in the implementation of new best practices defined in a joint collaboration between the Geotechnical, the Drilling and Blasting and the Loading and Hauling teams. The result is an improved compliance with the Berm Width of the benches which in turn has improved the safety and operational continuity. SOLUTION The methodology to improve the slope c
