Has anyone got any papers on the impact of ore variability (lithology, mineralogy, grade etc) on the financial performance of a process plant?

My company has published a recent paper on geometallurgy here:

We do a lot of geometallurgy work and the paper above is part of a much larger ongoing study now in a feasibility for the project.  We built the mine plan and process recoveries from geometallurgical models that include recovery and ore hardness as the main outputs.
