1 Optimising the Mining Fleet Series Part 5: The Optimised Fleet in Action

2 Part 1: 22 March - Manufacturing the Future Fleet Part 2: 19 April - The Advanced Fleet Part 3: 17 May - Optimising Maintenance Measures Part 4: 21 June - Fuel Management and Alternate Energy Part 5: 19 July - The Optimised Fleet in Action

3 Part 4 Summary: Fuel Management and Alternate Energy Continued research has uncovered the health issues associated with emissions from diesel engines such as DPM and Nox. Leading to authorities to seek input into new standards and legislation. Innovation is impacting the typically slow-to-adopt diesel space to drive performance and improve environmental outcomes Mining companies must have fuel management systems in place to measure and control hydrocarbons, which are generally the second largest expense on a mine site Alternate fleet energies that are being explored include electricity and high density compressed natural gas VIEW RECORDING

6 Optimising the Mining Fleet Series Overview Manufacturing the Future Fleet The Advanced Fleet Optimising Maintenance Measures Fuel Management and Alternative Energy The Optimised Fleet in Action March April May June July Jason Whiteley Pieter Prinsloo David Walker Liam Gannaway Kobus Potgieter Steve Turner Peter Woodford Ian Sedgwick Scott Kelly Stephen Williams Explored the latest advancements in high-tech machinery, components and technology Gareth Dean Looked at the advancements in mining technology and the power of harnessing digital capabilities in creating real improvements in fleet reliability, safety and productivity Liam Hewitt Delved into maintenance strategies that will keep your assets at minimal downtime and running at their best performance levels Craig James Explored procedures and practices for driving down one of the most significant recurring costs of any mining operation, oil and fuel Looking at the optimized fleet management system and how it fits in to the overall mining operation In the future Equipment do more, carry more, be more effective We are collecting more data from mining fleets today than ever before Improved machine health from better Condition Monitoring and understanding of risk based outcomes Equipment run more efficient, cheaper All equipment to perform at it s best 6

7 Data the foundation of maturity hidden but unmissable

8 Respect your data, then Crunch It! Various data sources are available But are they Complete? Accurate? Disparate? Discrete? Exclusive & Exhaustive? Data vs. Knowledge Analytical tools are freely available Human capability to comprehend analytical results improving Faster insight, faster action With increasing data availability, human capability decline The future fleet management with increased digitization will aim to deliver better results limiting human intervention, made possible with robotics, integration, automation, machine learning and IOT. But what does good look like?

13 The Optimised Fleet in Action Series Wrap-Up

14 Series Wrap-up A wrap-up of the fleet series and summation of the key learnings throughout the five webinars Mine Cost Breakdown Mining Cost Breakdown Key considerations: The cost of mining comprise more than half of a open mine s cost. Most of this cost is a factor of equipment condition and performance. Mining Overhead Processing 27% 20% 54% 15% 43% 19% 12% Ancilary Haul Load Blasting Drilling 12% Improvements target equipment design Series 1 Improvements target improved equipment health Series 3 Improvements target equipment energy efficiency Series 4 Improvements target equipment generated data Series 2 Equipment capability develop at a fast pace, followed by sensing and detecting technology Legislation and physical constraints hamper development in fuel industry, although a step change is viable here. Data is generated at a astronomical pace, analysis and advisory capability is adequate to optimise fleets today. Improvements target best practice Series 5 14

16 Thank you Kobus Potgieter

17 Panel Discussion 1. When considering current fleet management strategies and procedures, what continuous improvements can be explored to drive results now?

18 Panel Discussion 2. What innovations do you believe will lead to the next great step changes in fleet productivity?

19 Panel Discussion 3. Data remains a major consideration for mining companies in fleet management strategies, with significant amounts of information being generated in this space. How can miners derive greater value from their fleet data and what are the first steps to take on this journey?

20 Panel Discussion 4. The mining industry is often considered risk averse when it comes to innovation, possibly delaying deployment of new fleet technologies. What role does organisational culture play in changing this paradigm? In your experience, is it best to be a fast adopter or slow follower?

21 Panel Discussion 5. Looking at a decade from now and beyond, what does the mining fleet look like to you?
