Great mines – Finsch
john Chadwick examines South Africa’s second largest diamond mine - a world leader in block caving and automated loading and hauling.
Operation focus – Iberpotash Cabanasas
Paul Moore visited this major underground potash operation in Catalonia, northeast Spain, to see the company’s continuous mining process for sylvinite production.
Operation focus – Galantas Gold
Paul Moore visited the operations of Galantas Gold near Omagh in Northe Ireland to get the latest on a small but commercially successful surface operation that is planning to mine underground.
Mining engines
mining engines, as other industrial engines, are having to comply with Tier 4 Final regulation ahead of 2015, which is being achieved by varying technologies, reports Paul Moore, while natural gas engines are gaining traction.
Utility vehicles
utility vehicles, both surface and underground are often under-appreciated but, as John Chadwick reports, they are vital to efficient mine operation.
Underground drilling
underground drilling remains a challenging environment, so continued improvements from key machine and component suppliers continue to help mines improve efficiency, particularly as operations go deeper, reports Paul Moore.
Trackless tramming
at the MassMin conference in Sudbury this month, Lhds and underground haul trucks will be widely discussed – John Chadwick looks at recent developments.
Caving technology
n a new underground development review, Paul Moore looks at some of the latest block cave projects as well as the application of new draw-point extraction technology.
nnovation intelligence
ryan Siggelkow, Vice President, Hls hard-Line Solutions, looks at easy steps to advance remote machine control and how that infrastructure can help all communications underground.
High profile – Gemcom
