Principles of the "Framework for Responsible Mining"

Principles of the "Framework for Responsible Mining"

Introduction: 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

Impact of ore dilution on the technical and economic performance of a mining enterprise

A 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 […]

Drill rods, casings and water swivel

Drill rods, casings and water swivel

Introduction Drilling is a common activity carried out by mining and petroleum companies. The aim of a drilling campaign varies depending on the result type. Many tools are used during the process including dill rods, casings and water swivels. In this article, we are going to describe each tool and will also share their benefits. […]

Chuquicamata Mine: The copper paradise

Chuquicamata Mine: The copper paradise

The Chuquicamata mine, located in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile, is the second-deepest open-pit mine globally, behind Bingham Canyon in Utah. The terrain has been hollowed down by the extraction of massive copper reserves; the greatest hole at the location is about 1,000 meters (3,300 ft) deep. Although there is evidence of mining in […]

The importance of risk management in the mining industry

The importance of risk management in the mining industry

The mining sector is booming due to the market and worldwide demand increase. The use of novel industrial processes and equipment, growth in trained personnel, and growth in managerial skills go hand in hand with the need to increase productivity mining areas. These improvements make the mining industry one of the world’s riskiest and most unstable (Nguembi […]

Using telemedicine to improve the health of mine workers

Using telemedicine to improve the health of mine workers

Employees in the mining, oil, and gas sectors are frequently stationed in isolated and varied areas. These work sites, whether onshore or offshore, are isolated from one another geographically in some way. Operators are required to offer their employees a specific degree of health services while they are at work because of the different demands […]

Hydrothermal solution

Hydrothermal solution

Hot water acts as a concentrating, transporting, and depositing agent in hydrothermal mineral deposits. Out of all the deposit classes, they are the most numerous. Since pure water is a poor solvent for most ore minerals, hydrothermal deposits are never created from pure water. It would be more accurate to refer to them as products […]

Effect of Stemming Length on Blasting Fragmentation Part 1

Effect of Stemming Length on Blasting Fragmentation Part 1

Introduction Blasting is a crucial operation in the mining and construction industries, used to fragment rock masses to facilitate their excavation and processing (Taiwo et al., 2023). The effectiveness of blasting is heavily influenced by various parameters, among which stemming length plays a critical role. Stemming, the inert material used to fill the blast hole […]

NATIVE METALS

NATIVE METALS

The term “native metal” refers to metals found in pure or in an alloy that is representative of their natural, elemental state. Although a wide variety of metals can be found in native deposits, only few are resistant to oxidation and weathering. Because they are highly reactive when exposed to water, light, and other elements […]
