My name is cleo and I am doing honours in applied mining, I am finding it difficult to choose Research project based on this two fields, 1.explosives and 2 Rock engineering and slope instability
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
Futuristic Mining Ecosystem
I explain 6 futuristic themes for sustainable mining operations;
Global Mining Guidelines Group (GMG) has published Foundations of AI: A Framework for AI in Mining – a white paper that offers an overview of the process of planning for and implementing artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for mining companies.
AI-based innovation is being used increasingly in the mining industry as a means to improve processes and decision-making, derive value from data and increase safety, but the levels of operational maturity are…
Mark Ackroyd has observed significant change in the mining industry and equipment sectors during the past two decades since founding National Plant & Equipment, part of the National Group, in 1997.
Starting with a single bulldozer, Ackroyd has consistently grown his operations, diversifying and building complementary entities and verticals to…
Diesel fuel can constitute as much as 30% of a mine’s operating costs. Moreover, the largest single contributor of energy consumption in an open pit mining operation is haul trucks. Therefore, it is no surprise that…
Smart spaces are the inevitable evolution of workplaces in the mining and resources industry. While it will become comprehensively pervasive through the workplace, they are personalised to individuals, and embody how workplaces will ultimately harness and interact with vast datasets and technology. While the universe was created by several fundamental forces, the smart space is formed by the collision of accelerating technologies leveraging from one another and peaking at the same time. …
The Future of Mining Australia conference will build on its two previous years, taking place Sofitel Sydney Wentworth from 23-24 March, with a strategic agenda delivering a wide range of content spanning the entire mining life cycle that reflects…
