Master's Thesis Worker - Kemi Mine

Overview

Outokumpu Kemi Mine is looking for an ambitious and curious Master’s student to join us for a thesis project that turns geological modelling into real operational impact. This is a unique opportunity to work hands-on with cutting-edge Leapfrog models and explore how ore type knowledge can support smarter mine planning, processing, and daily decision-making.

About the Thesis Project

This thesis will focus on transforming knowledge from modelled ore types into actionable insights for grade control, mine planning, processing, and operational decision-making. You’ll work with new Leapfrog models currently being developed at the mine, applying your findings to real-world workflows.

Study Scope

• Assess the impact of ore body variability on short- and medium-term planning.
• Simulate findings into mine planning workflows (e.g., block models, dilution assessment, reconciliation inputs).
• Evaluate the rel...
