Despite the industry's pressing shift towards green electrification, global adoption of In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) remains limited. In the article, "𝐓𝐨 𝐈𝐏𝐂𝐂 𝐨𝐫 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐏𝐂𝐂?" by Jonathan Rowland for North American Mining magazine, our General Manager Tarrant Elkington and IPCC expert Phil Morriss share insights into the economic and environmental benefits of IPCC. You can read the article here: https://lnkd.in/gnUuuRBE   IPCC offers key advantages for mining, especially in addressing deeper pits, higher waste-to-ore ratios, and the need for carbon reduction.   For more on mine electrification, join our experts Tarrant Elkington and Sarah de Vries at the 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐧 12 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫, where they’ll discuss its role in strategic mine planning in a dedicated panel session.
