From chaos to clarity: navigating process variability with confidence
A free on-demand webinar for metallurgists and operations leaders in minerals processing
Process variability is still the silent killer in mining operations — but it doesn’t have to be.
In this 20-minute webinar, Mipac’s Dom Stoll (Optimisation Lead) and Duncan Hickman (Software Growth Lead) explore how leading sites are tackling variability, not with more software, but with smarter thinking, better alignment, and real-time decision support.
👉 Watch now to learn how Golden State is helping teams move from reactive firefighting to proactive control.
Key takeaways
Pressed for time? Here’s what you’ll learn in just a few minutes:
Why process variability will still hurt in 2026
- Variability is often invisible, but always costly.
- Fragmented data and reactive decisions are still the norm at many sites.
- The loss of experienced operators is widening the decision-making gap.
The power of visualising the process
- Misalignment across departments leads to inefficiency.
- A shared, real-time view of the plant helps teams collaborate and course-correct faster.
- Standardising operations across crews is key to consistency.
Empowering the frontline
- Operators need more than alarms; they need context.
- Golden State bridges the experience gap with intuitive decision support.
- It’s not about replacing people – it’s about accelerating their impact.
From siloed data to actionable insight
- Lab results, control system data, and manual logs often live in silos.
- Golden State integrates and contextualises data for faster, smarter decisions.
Making production meetings forward-looking
- Most meetings focus on yesterday’s problems.
- Golden State supports real-time Short Interval Control (SIC), enabling proactive planning during the shift.
Defining your golden state
- Every site’s version of “good” is different.
- Golden State helps you define and achieve operational excellence – your way.

and how Golden State fixes It
As we head into 2026, process variability remains one of the most persistent and costly challenges in mineral processing. Despite advances in automation and instrumentation, many operations still struggle to detect, understand, and control the subtle shifts that erode performance.
This article explores why variability is still the “silent killer” in mining operations, and how Mipac’s Golden State application is helping metallurgists and operations superintendents take back control.
