This article addresses the issue of energy waste resulting from frequent braking of underground mine cars and proposes an optimization design to address this. The proposed solution involves the installation of a regenerative braking device within the mine cars to capture and reuse the energy wasted during braking. This implementation …
The effectiveness of Model Predictive Control (MPC) for path following systems is well known. However, the commonly used control methods usually do not consider the complex computational complexity of fast dynamic systems, which is one of the main reasons for the resulting overshoot. This technical note considers the optimization …

As near-surface mineral deposits are depleted, underground mining is occurring in more challenging conditions at depth. Conditions in deep mines stretch the limits of current mining practices, and geologic instabilities become a primary hazard for underground miners among the most difficult problems to mitigate. The depth of …
The article concerns the condition of automation and robotization of underground mining in Poland. Attention has been focused on the specific character of the mining industry. This limits the possibility of using robotization, and sometimes even the mechanization of certain processes. In recent years, robotic and automated machines …
Key factors the driving move towards deep underground mineral resources. • Depletion of surface and near surface mineral deposits. • Deep underground mining lower environmental footprint compared to surface and near-surface mining.
Real-time 3D maps of underground walls, cavities, and tunnels are generated by the laser scanner and ExScan's proprietary software, which can be used to navigate vehicles and equipment. The scanner can penetrate deep underground areas …
Underground Mining (UM) is a hostile industry that generally requires a wireless communication system as a cross-cutting axis for its optimal operation. Therefore, in the last five years, it has been …
This article looks at 3D modeling processes, how it is being used in the mining industry, its benefits, challenges being faced in 3D modeling, as well as a concise insight into what …
Underground mining courses Underground hard rock mining refers to various underground mining techniques used to excavate hard minerals, usually those containing metals such as ore containing gold, silver, iron, copper, zinc, nickel, tin and lead, but also involves using the same techniques for excavating ores of gems such as diamonds or …
The backfill mining method is adopted in many mines around the world because it can reliably handle underground mine tailings and eliminate dangers in goafs. It is necessary to improve backfilling resource allocation and efficiency, thereby eliminating safety hazards and providing reliable support for the next stage of mining as quickly as …
Remote underground mine scanning using drones and LiDAR helps increase safety. Being able to survey from a distance allows us to collect data in portions of mines that would …
The proposed technology, called Underground Gravity Energy Storage (UGES), can discharge electricity by lowering large volumes of sand into an underground mine through the mine shaft. …
Underground bauxite mining exploitation is a challenging environment for ventilation. In this paper, such a complex underground ventilation network is modeled in detail using the Ventsim software. The network and its characteristics are selected and developed through the software, followed by their calibration and validation against …
Underground hard-rock mining accounts for 40 percent of global mining operations but only 12 percent of run-of-mine (ROM) production. 1 Run of mine is ore that is mined and crushed. In this article underground mining refers to underground hard-rock mining; thus, underground soft-rock mining, such as coal, is excluded.
Undergrounds mining is still, even after hundreds of years of safety improvements, a dangerous and expensive business. It's wise for an investor to understand both the basic workings for an underground …
For mine surveying and mapping, mining engineers and mine operators rely on Darling Geomatics' decades of expertise working in underground and surface mines.
Underground mining methods are characterized by complex decision combinations, conflicting goals, and interactions between production constraints. Planning considerations even gets more complicated when the underground mine precedes or succeeds an open pit operation.
