Here's how you can evaluate the success of a mining engineering project.

Engage in activities that challenge your analytical thinking, such as puzzles, brain teasers, or logic games. Analyze real-world scenarios, break down complex problems, and identify logical solutions. Regular practice strengthens your ability to think critically and approach challenges with a structured mindset.

Having a SMART project goal during mining project planning and execution stage help mining industry to evaluate the whole project. Setting production goals during the planning and design stage of a mine is crucial for guiding operational decisions, ensuring resource efficiency, and aligning activities with financial objectives. It helps in estimating equipment needs, workforce requirements, and timelines, thereby facilitating strategic planning, budget allocation, and performance monitoring throughout the mining project. Furthermore, when performing blasting operation for example, the quality and quantity of the material can easily be assess using WipFrag software to compare with the project goals in terms of productivity, safety and cost.

In situations The Goals are fixed, the focus shall be time bound achievement with in financial ,statutory compliance with due regards to safety and with certain degree of flexibility.

The feasibility study/ DPR is back bone of project. During project construction all activities, schedule, sanction of finance, purchase of plant and machinery, milestones, manpower deployment etc., are taken care of and project monitoring will be done accordingly by top management. For any deviation fresh approval is sought.

Feasibility study help mining industry to forecast the financial output and input of the whole mine project. Couple with other study like environmental impact assessment. Mining is a long term project with high capital investment. Financial assessment begins from the day one of the project till the end and after the end (reclamation). Some factors that can affect the mining cost are Blasting cost, equipment cost, Human resource among others.

Safety in mining, especially during blasting operations, is paramount to prevent accidents and fatalities. Proper safety measures protect workers from flyrock, ground vibrations, and airblast impacts. Ensuring safety minimizes operational disruptions, reduces liability and compliance costs, and fosters a culture of safety. Adhering to strict safety protocols also enhances overall efficiency and sustainability by mitigating risks and maintaining a secure working environment for all personnel involved.

The safety and project implementation goes together during project construction and post project completion. Sufficient provisions related to fund for safety matters, safe guards during project implementation and there after shall be covered in FR keeping in view the statutory requirements. The safety is baby of top management and need attention always or else that may lead to disaster.

Any project aim shall be to exceed the statutory compliance with regard to Environment. The environment compliance with related to air, water, land and any other kind of pollution shall be monitored and mitigation measure shall be taken concurrently with involvement of stakeholders.

The top management and project director shall keep hawk eye on financial performance. The end of the day, everything boiled down on revenue and profitability. A dynamic project director is needed to look into financial aspects with open mind to achieve over all goals of project.
