Let’s talk about rear dump-trucks in mining.
Appreciate this post. It pointed out something I hadn’t considered: “They have relatively low capital costs and require little maintenance compared to other placer equipment.” But here’s what puzzles me: if that’s the case, why are trucks written off so quickly for operations where the fixed mill isRead more
Appreciate this post. It pointed out something I hadn’t considered: “They have relatively low capital costs and require little maintenance compared to other placer equipment.” But here’s what puzzles me: if that’s the case, why are trucks written off so quickly for operations where the fixed mill is only 0.5 miles away? Is it purely an efficiency issue, or is there something deeper we aren’t acknowledging about haulage economics and operational trade-offs?

One of the newer approaches to improving underground mining safety is backfilling with mine waste, especially tailings.

One of the newer approaches to improving underground mining safety is backfilling with mine waste, especially tailings. The latest advancement in this area is Natural Fiber Reinforced Cemented Paste Backfill (NFR-CPB). In our research, we experimented with treated hemp fiber as reinforcement in the cemented paste. The result? A material with the fracture toughness needed to withstand underground stresses better, while giving tailings a second life.
