8 GREAT MINES – Newmont at 90
Over the coming months, Paul Moore and John Chadwick will be examining this great gold mining company. This first article looks back over a very interesting 90 years. Next month, the North American operations will be examined in detail, including the great Carlin base on which the mode-day company was built.
18 OPERATION FOCUS –
Central Rand Gold: John Chadwick visited this innovative, mechanised operation extracting vast gold
reserves under Johannesburg that were left by the miners working there in the early 1900s.
36 SOUTH AFRICAN SUPPORT
Paul Moore takes a look at some of the new technologies and more interesting contracts of
that country’s very active engineering companies. The mining equipment suppliers continue to
push the boundaries in innovation and development.
52 THE MOST MODERN SHAFTS
John Chadwick went into Mongolia’s Gobi Desert to see progress at Oyu Tolgoi’s #2 sinking, and he reports on advances in sinking and equipping shafts elsewhere.
62 REMOTE CONTROL/ AUTOMATION
Safety is the prime motivation, but raising productivity is also a great benefit. The wide ranging uses are extending ever deeper into the mining process.
64 HIGH PROFILE – Metallurgical master
John Chadwick recently met with key executives at South Africa’s Mintek to discuss ongoing developments in technology, pyrometallurgy, biotechnology, hydrometallurgy, mineralogy research and small-scale mining and beneficiation.
