Cut-Off Grade Optimization

Cut-Off Grade Optimization MCP Connector for Claude

A+

Optimize mining cut-off grades to maximize NPV and production efficiency.

4 tools Official Updated Oct 1, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

This MCP server provides specialized tools for mining engineers and financial analysts to optimize ore classification. By using optimize_cut_off_grade, users can identify the specific grade that maximizes Net Present Value (NPV) while accounting for opportunity costs. The server also includes calculate_break_even_grade to determine minimum profitable thresholds, simulate_production_schedule to project annual cash flows and mine life, and evaluate_stockpile_viability to decide if low-grade material should be stockpiled or discarded. It serves as a bridge between complex mining economic models and AI agents.

4 tools expose this connector's capabilities to your AI agent.

simulate_production_schedule

Projects the sequence of mining and processing activities over time based on a chosen grade

calculate_break_even_grade

Determines the minimum grade required to cover all incremental costs of processing

evaluate_stockpile_viability

Determines if diverted low-grade material should be stockpiled or sent to waste

optimize_cut_off_grade

Identifies the specific grade that maximizes the Net Present Value of the operation

What is the optimal cut-off grade for a gold mine with a metal price of 2000, recovery of 0.9, mining cost of 50, processing cost of 30, dilution of 0.05, and opportunity cost of 10?

The optimal cut-off grade for this operation is 0.15.

Calculate the break-even grade if the metal price is 1500, recovery is 0.85, mining cost is 40, processing cost is 25, and dilution is 0.1?

The break-even grade is 0.12.

Should I stockpile material with a grade of 0.05 if the metal price is 1800, recovery is 0.8, processing cost is 20, storage cost is 2, and dilution is 0.05?

The action is stockpile.

It uses `optimize_cut_off_grade` to find the ideal balance between immediate high-grade production and long-term mine value, accounting for opportunity costs.
