1. A method comprising:
acquiring, by a processor, mining data from sensors that monitor mining production,
wherein leaching operations are conducted for the mining operations;
determining, by the processor, deviations between forecast data for a mining production target during a time period and the mining data for the mining production after the time period;
determining, by the processor, a contribution to the deviations by each of a plurality of parameters, in response to changing each of the plurality of parameters from the forecast data to the mining data;
determining, by the processor, that one of the plurality of parameters indicates leach solutions resulting in a potential for unleached copper in an area of a stockpile;
activating, by the processor, deep raffinate injection in the area of the stockpile.
