1. A method comprising:
acquiring, by one or more processors, mining data;
determining, by the one or more processors, deviations between forecast data for a mining production target during a time period and the mining data for mining production after the time period;
determining, by the one or more processors, a contribution to the deviations by one or more of a plurality of parameters, in response to changing one or more of the plurality of parameters from the forecast data to the mining data;
determining, by the one or more processors, that one or more of the plurality of parameters indicates a potential for unleached minerals in an area of a stockpile; and
activating, by the one or more processors, deep raffinate injection in the area of the stockpile,
wherein the deep raffinate injection is conducted for the mining production, in response to the activating.
