What Is The Difference Between Geostatistics And Machine Learning?

"In simplified terms, geostatistics are a set of model-driven algorithms, and machine learning can be seen as a data-driven approach. Combining them to get the best of both worlds is the holy grail of geological modeling. "

THE FIGHT AGAINST ARTISAN MINERS

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

How Digitalisation Can Help Keep Operatives Safe and Healthy

Many working in industries with remote assets such as Energy, Mining and Engineering Services have been aware for some time of the benefits of technologies such as AI (Artificial Intelligence) and IoT (Internet of Things). These advantages have been brought into clear focus over the last few weeks as we all adjust to the challenges of the global pandemic.

AI in Mining White Paper

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

South Deep adding Nerospec neroHUB EMERST Level 9 collision avoidance technology

Gold Fields’ South Deep gold mine in South Africa continues to enhance its EMESRT Level 9 collision avoidance capability (technologies that actually intervene in terms of automated machine control to prevent or mitigate an unsafe interaction) in the form of an ongoing project with Nerospec company Nerospec OSCON, based in Bromhof, Randburg.

Cost Estimation Handbook for Small Placer Mines

✅ Cost Estimation Handbook for Small Placer Mines by Bureau of Mines 1987. By Scott A. Stebbins. ✅ This report has been written to aid those involved with placer mining in the estimation of costs to recover valuable minerals from placer deposits. It relies on the principle that cost estimates will be representative only if calculated for technically feasible mining operations. Because the design of such a n operation can be difficult, provisions have been made to assist the user in achieving

Mines Turning to Equipment Level Fuel Measurement to Validate Fuel and Lubricant Claims

Blutip's SmartRView enables operators of high-horsepower diesel equipment to precisely quantify the production and efficiency impacts attributable to specific changes under consideration. Some of the largest global petrochemical companies have engaged the SmartRView platform to demonstrate the efficiency impacts of their premium and synthetic formulations to customers. As analysts are often skeptical of laboratory results, or those produced under any conditions but their own, an appetite persist

Autonomous Haulage - Business Case

Results indicate that cut-offs for the application are presently in excess of 12 Mtpa of total earthmoving. All of the current implementations of an AHS are based in mines that exceed this amount of total material moved.
Truck count cut-off thresholds vary by payload capacity, but a minimum of six to eight trucks is generally required. In its present form, an AHS is therefore not likely to be applicable to all surface mines as scale is a key factor.

Successful Financial Management for the Mining Sector

Budgets are always tight on mining projects, with the need to demonstrate return on investment over the lifecycle of the mine. This calls for a best of breed Financial Management and Reporting System that can be tailored to address the unique requirements of the Mining industry.

Top 10 business risks and opportunities for mining and metals in 2022

According to EY’s latest report on the mining sector, opportunities for mining and metals companies will continue to outweigh risks in 2022. In brief For the first time in our annual report on the sector, mining and metals companies rank environment and social issues as their number one risk. Decarbonization is a major disrupter, dominating discussions and presenting both risks and opportunities. License to operate has lost the top spot it held for the past three years but is still seen as a
