Operation focus: Lake Shore Gold
John Chadwick visited Lake Shore Gold in Canada’s historic Timmins mining camp and saw a significant operation achieved in a short time, with many targets to grow resources.
Remote infrastructure
new mines need a lot of support, from power supply to homes and facilities for workers, as well as logistical solutions. A number of companies operate successfully in this specialist area, reports Paul Moore.
German technology
n the current uncertain climate, maximising efficiencies with the latest technology is arguably even more important. Germany-based companies lead the way in new advances, reports Paul Moore.
Wear protection
As operating costs rise, mines around the world are
looking at their equipment and focusing on maximising efficiency and productivity to get more with less. John Chadwick notes that reducing wear is very important in this drive.
Coal clearance
Some important safety developments have appeared recently. John Chadwick reports on this, new machines and the consolidation that continues through acquisition.
Training in bulk
Simulation specialist GlobalSim reports on the advantages of the technology in the bulk minerals handling industry, as well as a project with Vale.
