KPI Mining Solutions in partnership with McGill COSMO is excited to launch its first product in their suite of stochastic optimization software for mining companies

MONTREAL, Jan. 31, 2023 /CNW Telbec/ - KPI-COSMO Stochastic Mining Optimizer is a game-changing solution representing a paradigm shift in mine planning, that will generate substantial value for the mining ecosystem.

We are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with McGill University's renowned COSMO Stochastic Mine Planning Laboratory, and a global consortium of mining companies composed of AngloGold Ashanti, Anglo American De Beers, BHP, IAMGOLD, Kinross Gold, Newmont, and Vale.

Roussos Dimitrakopoulos, Director of the McGill COSMO Stochastic Mine Planning Laboratory states, "After a meticulous qualification process, McGill and the consortium of mining companies selected KPI Mining Solutions to develop and globally commercialize KPI-COSMO due to their outstanding expertise in artificial intelligence, optimization and software development.

Benny Cohen, President of KPI Mining Solutions adds, "Our vision is to continue developing software solutions focusing on all mining production planning horizons, including long-term, medium-term, and short-term operational planning for both open pit and underground mining. Our underlying technologies are focused on stochastic orebody modeling and stochastic optimization. We deliver integrated simultaneous (mines to products to markets) AI + OR optimization models, dealing with multiple uncertainties. We are excited to collaborate with McGill Cosmo and the consortium to bring innovation to the mining industry."
