| dc.description.abstract | A Mine Call Factor (MCF) is the ratio between the total recovered mineral product versus the planned estimated mineral product based on sampling and modifying factors. Problematic MCF issues have haunted mines throughout time, some commodities more than others. To mitigate and control the challenges around a problematic MCF, proper protocols and the enforcement of them are required. From 2014 to 2017, Modikwa Platinum Mine (MPM) had a fluctuating MCF below the historical 95% average mark. This research study was carried out for the period between 2013 to 2020, collecting historical data to establish what areas had a negative influence on the MCF during this period and to clarify if these losses were real or apparent. | |
