Despite all the new regulations and restrictions to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 outbreak, the Australian government has sent a clear message to all miners to continue digging in order to keep one of the country's biggest export industries operating. State and federal ministers agree that the resources sector is essential in maintaining a strong Australian economy.
In response to an increase in the unemployment rate, major iron ore miner BHP recently announced plans to recruit 1,500 workers

Mining automation otherwise called mechanized mining expels people from dangerous mining process. Mining robotization computerizes the digging procedure for both surface and underground mining activity. Through mining robotization it is conceivable to run underground mines 27/7 which increment profitability while decreasing expense. Mining robotization likewise improves specialist's wellbeing.

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 variable across the industry. Though many m
Buying used heavy machinery can be a good or a bad experience, depending how you do it. If you are purchasing or are considering to do so, there are some steps that you should do before.
An independent inspection report
When you hire the services to perform an independent inspection, this can help ensure that the used machinery you are buying won't be heading to the workshop sooner than you expect. It's true that there are no standards for how to inspect a machine and how the reports are done, bu

Mining is essential to the global economy. After all, there would be no such thing as an iPhone without mining.
Mine operators around the world are under pressure to produce in a difficult environment that goes through cycles of boom and bust depending on commodity prices. Every possible efficiency is explored as they try to stay competitive.
For surface mine operators, one of the most critical pieces of equipment is the haul truck that moves rock and ore to the crusher
Today, the 4th of December, is the day of St.Barbara, Patron Saint of the Miners.
May she protect you all along in 2020!
Barbara lived in the 3rd Century AD in Nicromedia, the capital of the Roman province of Bithnia (Asia Minor). She was the only child of Dioscuros, a high ranking and wealthy man. Her father adored her, had her tutored in the best schools of arts and sciences, and set out to reinforce her faith in the Roman-Greek Gods.
To protect her from foreign in
Dear network, I share with you a document that summarizes an exercise of Machine Learning developed in the Collahuasi Concentrator Plant in Chile; I hope it makes sense to you. I would be very grateful for your comments and feedback. Greetings

From rope testing to measurement technology and geotechnical monitoring: the article "Safety stems from Hard Coal Mining" in the current Georesources journal (issue 3/2019) explains how DMT has adapted hundreds of years of mining engineering expertise to develop safety oriented technology for projects such as the London Eye and Channel Tunnel: https://www.georesources.net/downloa
The overwhelming majority of construction and mining projects require some degree of temporary lighting. Traditional solutions have included bulb- and tube-based lamps such as metal halide fixtures, light bulb strings, and halide and halogen floor lamps.
While effective, these solutions have not been without drawbacks. Common to all of these traditional methods are the high amperage draw, allowing for very limited “daisy-chaining” and requiring multiple electrical circuits to light job sites of
In the unlikely event of a 7495 Shovel being Struck by lightning, The shovel itself will act as a Faraday cage given the fact that it´s built of conductive metal and solidly connected to ground by the crawlers.
If during maintenance/servicing a 7495 Shovel you´re caught into a weather alert and are not able to evacuate, consider the Shovel as a shelter, go into the operator cab and make sure all windows are up. Do NOT leave the Shovel until all weather alerts have been cleared.
Have a safe Weekend
Legitimate Miners face various challenges ranging from environmental, management, personnel, community, government to even security challenges. The paper is concerned about the security challenges. One of such challenge one should be ready to face and seen in most mining areas are the activities of artisan miners also called illegal miners.
The more the value of a particular natural deposit, the more tendencies to experience the presence of these illegal miners. From research done by the write
The mining industry is so colossal that I thought it would be genuine to set off the first among several conversations not in terms of sectors (crushing, maintenance, drilling, processing, tunneling, underground mining, etc.), but connectivity, for what it is worth, which I believe is one of the most sensitive aspects in mining as it touches all those sectors.
I want to be more specific here, otherwise, this discussion may take us to a lengthy journey and I am not a mining guru to pursue such a v
Digitalization is a very popular buzz word these days. So trendy that there is a risk to digitalize for the sake of digitalization.
How to avoid this pitfall? When it is a must and when is it just a nice to have gadget? Should we go for a cloud? Make infrastructure serverless and use SOA with micro services? Where should we employ IoT, automation, Machine Learning, AI, blockchain or BigData?
One of the Gurus of the IT world came up with the Rule of Three that says: Use only 3 new technologies
One of the most strategic person in any mines is the Human Resource Person on site. This is because he is concerned primarily in the payment of the mine staff. Like most casual workers in parts of the world, mine workers made up mostly of labourers are concerned primarily with their money after work. For them, after being "stressed" from work, the only "good" thing the employer can do is to pay him/her what is due.
On this note, the HR personnel on site must be sensitive to the above concerned
