METALLURGICAL ACCOUNTING

Increased corporate governance and more stringent regulatory requirements have created a need for many mines to improve metallurgical accounting processes and practices. Smart organisations are moving away from non-transparent, non-auditable excel spreadsheets or custom-built solutions as they move towards compliance to the AMIRA P754 code. Optimum's Metallurgical Accounting solution provides a unique integrated solution for replacing your unsecured excel driven or custom-built metallurgical accounting system with a digital compliant solution.  Our solution presents a cost-effective approach that decreases risk, improves security, accuracy and provides traceability all at a fraction of the costs of what you would expect to pay.
