Hello All,

I thought it would be worthwhile to have a post that speaks to Mining Construction Mega Projects.  The top 20 mining companies are postured to spend $60B/year on greenfield projects as well as brownfield expansions.  I wasn't able to find any other posts on the topic, therefore would like to ask the community; why do you think 4 out of 5 Mining Construction Mega Projects come in late and over budget by 50%?

Thanks,

Jason

Hello everyone,

I'm curious about any non-fiction, non-technical books, papers or articles that you may have read on the subject of the history of the mining and resources industry in your (or any) country or region. Recommendations?

What is the three best adavantages of this explosive ?

and

What is the best advance per blast that you obtained from its…

Hi Everyone...I posted this in the Shaft Sinking Group but thought it might get a lot more exposure and potential input here.

I work for a group that conducts mine cost estimating and we would like to begin updating an article that we publish regarding the costs to sink shafts. Currently, we provide pre-feasibility level estimated costs for a number of diameters (or rectangular dimensions) based on low, medium and hard Uniaxial Compressive Strengths. …

Those involved on commercial minerals processing and metallurgical operations: what are the things that consume most of an operator's/metallurgist's time & energy on a daily, weekly and/or monthly basis?

This question is broad on purpose. Speak from your experience as much as possible.

Thank you in advance!

Hello all,

Just signed up with the group and kudos to Harald for setting this up.

Interested to see if any group members have experience with operating or the technical evaluation of trolley assisted haulage. I am interested in evaluating the technology for our project, but relevant experience seems hard to find.

Looking forward to your replies

Hi all - what's the biggest thing that will change over the next 15 years in mining? I'm doing some research with the largest survey into innovation in mining, would love to hear your thoughts on what's going to change in your operating environment: stateofplay.org/survey-2018

The past five years have seen the re-emergence of coal mine dust pneumoconiosis commonly known as black lung disease in mine workers in Queensland. Although, coal mining industry assumed that the disease was completed eradicated in the last half century, evidence has shown that the number of positively identified cases could even be more than what has been reported. So what exactly went wrong? Who can be held accountable and has to take responsibility for the increase in black lung disease…
