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.

European Union (EU) through its Horizon 2020 and SPARC program is concentrating on self-governing underg

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

Blast fragmentation analysis is a crucial process in mining, designed to evaluate the size distribution of rock fragments after a blast. It plays a key role in optimizing the performance of downstream operations, such as loading, hauling, crushing, and grinding. By assessing the fragmentation, mining engineers can determine how well the blast was executed and make adjustments to improve future blasts.
Effective fragmentation ensures that the rock size is compatible with the crusher gape, minimizi

Have a great St.Barbara day.

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

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

The charge length in blasting operations significantly influences the fragmentation of rock (Taiwo, 2022)i. It defines the quantity of explosive loaded into each blast hole, directly correlating with the amount of energy generated along each meter of the borehole profile. An optimal charge length ensures efficient energy distribution, which is critical for achieving the desired fragmentation size and shape.

Charge length is contingent upon several factors, including the total length of the boreho

Where is Mining on the Water Stewardship Journey?

Three years ago, 27 of the world’s largest mining and metals companies pledged action to support the responsible use of water through the launch of the International Council on Mining and Metals’ (ICMM’s) position statement on water stewardship. By signing up to the position statement, members committed to transparent, consistent disclosure on water performance, managing water at operations effectively and collaborating with others to achieve resp
