Sources

Grade Targets

Grade targets penalise the optimiser for going off-spec. The optimiser balances between positive cash flows and negative grade penalties to match blocks to destinations.

...

The Plant Agent is appearing by default in the list of Agents when configuring Cash Flows, Max Rates and Max Quantities. It is not being involved in the Expit movements, so it does not matter whether it is checked or not in the optimisation rules configuration for mining and rehandling.

Since the PlantAgent is not involved in any Expit movement, it won't consume any haulage units' hours, and doesn’t require being assigned in the Trucks Assignment step.

...

Tip

The Plant Agent controls Post Crusher movements, that are not covered by Destination rules, but drawn manually in the Flow Chart step.
