Resource Optimisation with AI in the Mining Industry

Resource Optimisation with AI in the Mining Industry

This article was written by Glen Stewart Introduction Mining has always relied on human intuition and brute force to extract Earth’s valuable resources. Now however, a revolution is underway, which is driven by the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). By using the potential of data and intelligent algorithms, AI is optimizing resource extraction across the […]

What is sintering and what is it used for?

What is sintering and what is it used for?

Description High heat and pressure are used during sintering, also known as frittage, to generate a solid mass of material without melting it into a liquid. In addition to being utilised in the production of materials with high melting points, such as tungsten and molybdenum, this is also a naturally occurring occurrence in mineral and […]

Enhancing ore grade estimation with artificial intelligence

Enhancing ore grade estimation with artificial intelligence

Introduction Accurate prediction of mineral grades is a fundamental step in mineral exploration and resource estimation, which plays a significant role in the economic evaluation of mining projects. Currently available methods are based either on geometrical approaches or geostatistical techniques that often considers the grade as a regionalised variable (Kaplan & Topal, 2020). Geostatistics has […]

Core drilling: planning and scoping

Core drilling: planning and scoping

Introduction In open pit mining rotary core drilling is the most widely used method of subsurface investigation. For pit slope design, it helps determine within acceptable levels of confidence the geotechnical relationships and engineering properties of the rocks that will form the walls of the pit. Planning and scoping (Guidelines for Open Pit Slope Design […]

Trump's copper, aluminium tariffs may raise costs for U.S. consumers

President Donald Trump’s vow of tariffs on U.S. copper and aluminium imports would result in higher costs for local consumers because of a shortfall of domestic production and the length of time it would take to renew the industry, analysts and industry participants said on Tuesday. In a speech to Republican lawmakers on Monday, Trump […]

Errors in sampling

Errors in sampling

This article was written by (Gandhi & Sarkar, 2016) Sampling is subject to certain limitations due to two types of errors: (1) random and (2) systematic. The random errors tend to cancel out each other, whereas the systematic error accumulates to create gross errors, which are easily recognizable because of their magnitude. The errors may […]

The need for Critical Minerals supply chain diversification

The need for Critical Minerals supply chain diversification

The over-reliance on concentrated supply chains for key minerals is a major issue in the current global energy transition, according to Oryx Global Partners’ most recent paper, The Need for key Minerals Supply Chain Diversification. 90% of rare earths, more than 50% of nickel, lithium, and cobalt, and 95% of battery-grade graphite are processed and […]
