Real-time DISPATCH Operational Checklist and Guide

1. Start of Shift:
q

General: a. Excavs i. Dig locations (assigned) ii. Materials (and grades if required) iii. Dump locks / bars iv. Ensure correct and change of statuses and corresponding event b. Trucks i. Set up any special project locks / assignments to Excavs ii. Remove all truck locks that will operate in normal dispatched production iii. Ensure correct and change of statuses and corresponding event c. Dumps i. Set any targets as required ii. Set any capacities as required d. Graphics i. Review and check dig locations (use GPS queries and / or GPS status report) ii. Review and check dump locations (use GPS queries and / or GPS status report) iii. Review and check roads (should typically only require changes resulting from updating of dig / dump locations but may occasionally require a major change such as a new ramp / access, etc.) iv. Review and check beacons (Excavs, dumps, and key call points at intersections and elevation changes) v. Review, check, and ensure strategic reassignment beacon configurations DISPATCH Optimization Strategy Set-up: Area Description q Ensure clear communication and confirmation between Mine Controllers (dispatchers) Shift and Pit Controllers production q According to mine plan and operational requirements objectives q Ensure LPMATCHTRUCKS = YES LP Global Parameters q Ensure assign by priority option = YES Priorities Utilization levels Proportional Feeding Ranking Report
q q q q q Set all excav priorities for each loading unit based on the production objective Initially set at 100% for all excavs Set selectively between specific loading units as needed based on: o Desired haulage resource allocation strategies o Lower dig rates to preclude going unused when necessary Open Ranking report to monitor initial response Determine if adjustment is necessary

2. Continuously throughout Shift:

q

General: a. Update any required manual assignments as necessary i. Truck assignments to Excavs in special projects or circumstances ii. Truck assignments to dumps or Excav dump locks iii. Adjust reassignment beacons as necessary b. Review GPS dot traces of trucks and loading units and adjust locations accordingly as required i. Roads ii. Dump locations iii. Load locations (Truck and / or Excavs) c. Query Excav GPS locations and contrast against configured locations (if not using auto-update functionality) d. Update Excav information as required i. Dig locations ii. Materials iii. Dump locks e. Assign, update, and add grades as required f. Adjust dump capacities and targets accordingly in line with production objective DISPATCH Optimization Strategy Set-up: Area Description q Ensure clear communication and confirmation of any changes or adjustments Shift between Mine Controllers (dispatchers) and Pit Controllers production objectives q Ensure LPMATCHTRUCKS = YES LP Global Parameters q Ensure assign by priority option = YES Priorities

Adjust priorities as necessary such that the ranking report reflects the current production objective Adjust / modify levels as necessary to fine-tune the priorities o In response to priority adjustments and dig rate changes o Such that the LP allocates haulage resources to meet the specific planned production within any blend Set selectively between specific loading units as needed based on: o Desired haulage resource allocation strategies o Lower dig rates to preclude going unused when necessary Monitor Ranking report to ensure desired order Adjust priorities as necessary and fine-tune with utilization levels

3. Monitor Continuously at All Times:

a. Event capture and use i. Ensure correct capture of all changes for Excavs and Trucks ii. Direct and enforce operator compliance b. Load / haul cycle actions i. Ensure capture of all actions not generated using automated methods for each load ii. Direct and enforce operator compliance c. Unused excavs i. Determine reason for no LP path ii. Validate or resolve accordingly d. Queuing i. Ensure Arrive action is generated at point of stopping for trucks arriving at load location outside of beacon ii. Reassignment of reassigned trucks when loading unit changes status iii. Maintain Ready status of trucks non-reassigned trucks when loading unit changes status e. Idle times for both trucks and excavs i. Under trucked conditions: 1. Monitor the Unused excavs 2. Put Unused excavs on Standby with corresponding event code as deemed necessary ii. Over trucked conditions: 1. Monitor required vs. actual and queues at loading units / dumps 2. Park any excess haulage capacity and put on Standby with corresponding event code as deemed necessary f. In-pit dumping (Ensure material is set to corresponding in-pit material type) g. Non-production load / haul outside of the production circuit i.e. crusher to plant, etc. i. Ensure corresponding material type (XXX) and event code change (code XXX for both trucks and excavs) ii. Disable loading units and lock trucks while operating in this circuit h. Fueling i. Trucks change to Delay status XXX while traveling to fuel bay and then Delay status XXX while fueling ii. Excavs change to Delay status XXX when fueling (no other additional codes used for excav fueling event) i. Excav moves i. Long: Standby status XXX ii. Short: Delay status XXX

4. Shift Change
a. Tie-down / parkup locations: i. Define and set-up desired park-up locations (manually or using Tie-down module) ii. Program truck assignments to park-up locations (manually or using Tie-down Module) iii. Review programmed maintenance (PM) schedule to determine available equipment for on-coming shift iv. Set line-up of on-coming operators with equipment to be operated v. Ensure operator compliance with tie-down assignments to correct locations vi. Confirm actual truck tie-down locations and excav locations vii. Ensure communication of lineup program and equipment locations to on-coming operators b. Status changes: i. Ensure Status / Event change upon arrival at tie-down location
