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 […]
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 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 […]

Hi Salem, The most common measure and recommendation is to take regular break to avoid any incident. Also the ergonomics is key to ensure that the operator is comfortable while driving the equipment. Thanks,

I prefer to avoid utilizing it. As AI did not take subtle changes in Rock characteristics and stress regime changes into account driving a new drift.
Well AI didnt have bolt/ screen support. a closer inspection by a human ( me,).,revealed a highly unstable section of rock that required the new section of the drift to be bolted, screened, shotcreted, with supplimental steel beam support in specific areas.
Only a real human, with eyes, experience and. working with other humans with the same, skunked out the dangers of that section; despite the pressure from corporate types that never go down shaft and work the rock.
Also, the AI as it currently stands was too socially and technically biased to ne a safe reliable tool in deep workings.
Had we gone with what AI said we would have had a tragedy.
I do know after that, the crews started making jokes about AI that werent complimentary.

It would be interesting to see a picture of the muck pile after the dust has settled. At first glance, seems the blasting bench was quite narrow, which represents a challenge in terms of designing a timing pattern. To my eye it seems the timing was designed so to move the blast forward, instead of diagonally, what could reduce the rock fly by creating a free face towards which the energy could flow, away from the main bench face.
See lessAdditionally, would be interesting to know what king of detonation systems was utilized, electronic or pyrothecnic initiators, the first have a much wider range of available timing, which can help reducing rock fly.
What analysis can be done about this blast? What is the good and bad ?
