Portfolio of 10 mines - risk vs value prioritisation

A single blueprint run scored a 10-resource growth portfolio on risk and value. Top-left quadrant earned the next drilling budget.

1

CHALLENGE

Ten resource-growth deposits, no consistent way to compare geological risk against value to decide where the next drilling budget should go.

2

WHATE BLUEPRINT DID

Scored the full portfolio in one run - plotting value against technical/geological risk, with Monte Carlo P10–P50–P90 bands quantifying uncertainty by deposit

3

OUTCOME

3 of 10 deposits flagged for drilling

Three deposits flagged as highest priority - concealed porphyry, IOCG mineralogy and skarn structure - since drilling resolves their geological risk fastest, unlocking the most value per dollar spent.
