Definition An alternate transport method called in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) has a larger initial cost but offers significant operating cost savings. The best technology for big open pit mines with high production is IPCC. a continuous processing system that breaks down rock of mine (ROM) into a size that can be conveyed, using a […]

RQD: a key factor in mining
MarcialIntroduction Rock Quality Designation (RQD) is a measure of quality of rock core taken from a borehole. RQD signifies the degree of jointing or fracture in a rock mass measured in percentage. It is commonly used in rock mass classification which is fundamental in tunnelling, dam construction, mine and slope design. The RQD is given […]

Simulation as a key component for training in mining
MarcialIntroduction Technological progress is an important criterion for global economic development. Innovative technologies used by companies often determine their profitability and efficiency but are also an important element of an innovative and attractive workplace. Today, the most advanced technologies are based on the automation and robotisation of processes using drones, inspection robots, exoskeletons or virtual […]
Principles of the "Framework for Responsible Mining"
MarcialIntroduction: The extraction of minerals and other resources from the Earth, known as mining, plays a vital role in modern society. However, this industry often comes with significant environmental, social, and economic consequences. To address these challenges and ensure a more sustainable and equitable future, the “Framework for Responsible Mining” has been developed. This framework, […]
Impact of ore dilution on the technical and economic performance of a mining enterprise
MarcialA great paper written by Victor Patson Mutambo, Dilmurod Maxmudov, Yorqin Nurboboev, Asliddin Mahmadoliev and Feruz Pardaev. Proper geological and economic assessment of ore dilution and loss is important both in the feasibility study of the mining design process and during mining operations. Production capacity and profitability of the mine directly depend on the indicators […]

Mineral exploration, how to proceed?
MarcialThe process of looking for signs of any mineralisation housed in the nearby rocks is known as mineral exploration. The fundamental idea is to create a geological picture by taking bits and pieces of geological data from several locations and projecting them over a broader area. Exploration proceeds in steps of increasing complexity. Cheaper, less […]
