Polyus is actively implementing cutting-edge IT solutions at Olimpiada (Krasnoyarsk Territory), transforming the mine into one of the most high-tech assets in the industry. Digitization encompasses the entire production cycle: from exploration and mining planning to the final stages of ore beneficiation at the process plants. The use of Big Data tools and mathematical modelling enables specialists to predict metal content in ore with pinpoint accuracy and quickly adjust production plans, significantly improving the overall efficiency of gold recovery.
Special attention is given to real-time process automation. The implemented dispatch and equipment condition monitoring systems not only minimize equipment downtime but also significantly improve industrial safety. Sensors installed on the units collect thousands of parameters per second, preventing breakdowns and reducing operating costs. This approach makes operations as transparent and predictable as possible, allowing complex processes to be managed directly from a screen.
Successful digital transformation at Olimpiada is setting new standards for the entire domestic industry. Innovation helps Polyus not only maintain its cost value leadership in mining operations but also minimize its environmental impact through more precise use of resources. The implementation of digital technologies at the region’s largest deposit demonstrates that modern gold mining is a combination of large-scale production capacities and advanced intelligent technologies.
