Water and mining

Accurate modelling and interpretation of measurement-while-drilling data enabled a faster, more efficient geology process and reduced costs for Glencore Coal at Hail Creek, helping them meet corporate KPIs for coal loss and dilution https://loom.ly/1cOuXV0 #Maptek #MiningSolutions #CoalMining

Slurry separation is a critical process in various industrial applications. It involves separating solid materials from liquids, which is essential for operations such as mining, construction, and wastewater treatment. Understanding the main components of a slurry separation system is fundamental to enhancing efficiency and operational reliability. This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the key elements of slurry separation, emphasizing their roles and integration within the system: https://hubs.ly/Q02LzzNz0

Thank you Sun Mining for facilitating last week's visit to Berau Coal. Main purpose was to observe the application of water gel in a coal mine and its potential for integration into our operations. I must admit, I'm thoroughly impressed. Here are a few standout benefits: 1. Water gel's have super low density (0.4-1) but it doesnt float in a wet hole. 2. With a 2.5 times increase in AN price over the past two years, water gel could serve as a cost-effective ANFO replacement. 3. Its adaptability for use in wet conditions. 4. High gas energy makes it particularly suitable for soft rock formations. 5.Low shock energy means we could reduce stemming length without risk of ejection Considering all these advantages, it's surprising to see limited usage if this product 🤔 To fellow blasting experts: I'm keen to hear your insights. What are the pros and cons of using Water Gel? Pak Beni Rasjid Thank you for showin me arouns too !! 😃

Soil Solutions could significantly contribute to enhancing the sustainability and environmental stewardship of mining operations like Anglo American's Minas-Rio iron-ore and Barro Alto nickel mines. By integrating Soil Solutions' innovative and environmentally friendly soil stabilization and dust control technologies, mining companies can reduce the environmental impact of their operations. This approach aligns with the Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance's (IRMA) standards, which aim to promote transparency and best practices in sustainable and responsible mining. Soil Solutions' expertise in providing sustainable solutions for challenging environmental conditions can help mining companies like Anglo American, Sibanye-Stillwater, and Syrah Resources Ltd achieve higher levels of environmental performance and compliance with global sustainability standards, thereby supporting their commitment to responsible mining practices and enhancing their contribution to sustainable development.

[𝐅𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐒 𝐍𝐄𝐖𝐒] Amid an industry-wide shift towards more sustainable mining practices, engineering consultancy SRK Consulting says that the significance of environmental, social and governance (#ESG) factors in mining has evolved over the past few decades from basic monitoring, to now include a wide range of complex aspects such as biodiversity preservation and water stewardship. This week's #ConsultingEngineers in Mining feature has the full story > https://bit.ly/4570lY1

𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 Mine #dewatering solutions involve the extraction or control of groundwater to maintain safe and dry conditions within mining operations. These solutions use various #techniques such as pumps, wells, and drainage systems to lower the water table and prevent flooding in #underground mines or open pits. Effective mine dewatering is essential for safe and efficient mining activities, minimizing the risk of equipment damage, ensuring stable excavation walls, and safeguarding the well-being of personnel. Properly designed and implemented mine dewatering #strategies contribute to the overall success and sustainability of mining #operations by managing #water influx and maintaining a conducive working environment.

The shallowest coal seam mine working Geoinvestigate has encountered so far is 3.7m with only 3m of mudstone roof cover shown to approximate scale in this image. Astonishingly the workings believed to be late 1600 or early 1700s in the Cooper's Eye coal near Berwick-upon-Tweed are still open though it could perhaps approach 3m depth or less as the seam rises at 5 degrees towards outcrop on the left. The shaft and its heap are located 150m or so away. Responding to our assistant lead geotechnician Connors question - 'why take the risk of mining so close to surface?' Ans. Whereas today we could machine dig 300 years ago you couldn't expend more human effort than the value of the resource being extracted. Aside from the conflicting interests of land and mineral owners removing several metres of surface overburden waste with picks and spades and restoring the land afterwards simply wasn't normally an option then. #Siteinvestigation #siteinvestigations #drillingservices #coaldrilling #minedrilling #miningrisk #groundstability #coalauthority #miningconsultants #CMRA #Northumberlandcoal

The cleanup cost for British Columbia’s Elk Valley river, polluted by toxic materials from Teck Resources Limited’ coal mining activities, could amount to at least C$6.4 billion ($4.7 billion), as indicated by a report from the not-for-profit group Wildsight. The report commissioned by the Kootenay-based environmental organization underscores a substantial disparity between the $1.9 billion required by the province for Teck to reserve for emergency shutdowns and mine reclamation, and the projected expenses of the company’s initiatives to combat selenium pollution resulting from coal mining in B.C.’s Elk Valley. Selenium, a naturally occurring element toxic to fish in high concentrations, has been seeping for decades from waste rock piles surrounding Canadian miner Teck’s coal mines. #mining #coal #Canada
