Gain insights into the role of the Engineering of Record (EoR) during the construction phase of a filtered tailings storage facility in Chile's Atacama Region, a high-altitude (over 4,000 m a.s.l.), extremely arid, and seismically active area.   Authors: Camilo Morales, Esteban Barría, Francisco Vera, Johan Boshoff   #mining #tailings #minewaste #miningindustry #geotechnics

Significant 107% Increase of Mineral Resource Ounces at Laverton Project. Magnetic Resources NL ASX:MAU, MD George Sakalidis “The Lady Julie North 4 Resource has been the prime drilling focus as reported in periodic releases to the ASX. It has multiple stacked lodes with a number of thick intersections that have not been closed off at depth. The initial deeper drilling started on the 25 January 2023 and has expanded in subsequent months to a 95-hole RC program for 16,356m. Drilling is continuing, with holes in excess of 400m depth, which is expected to increase the current resource at LJN4 of 13.1Mt at 2.02g/t for 852,000oz at a 0.5g/t cut off (Table 2). This LJN4 deposit sits within a regional structure called the Chatterbox Shear Zone that extends over a 12km length within the Magnetic tenements. This shear extends southwards of LJN4 and has had initial AC and RC drilling completed and some anomalous intersections that will be followed up with some shallow RC drilling for the purpose of finding further gold deposits. Drilling in the last 6 months included diamond drill holes for geotechnical evaluation of proposed pits, and for hydrology analysis. Project environmental, heritage and technical background studies are close to completion – optimisation and pit design has commenced on LJC and the expanded LJN4 – the aim is to prepare and submit a Mining Proposal in early 2024. Other strategic opportunities are also being investigated”.

Mining has always been and interdisciplinary industry. Today, more so than ever.

Technological and digital innovation are driving best practices in tailings dam management, as highlighted by SRK Consulting. The Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM) is pushing the mining industry towards more robust monitoring techniques and advanced data analytics. This data-driven approach ensures greater data visibility, auditability, and cost-efficient project development, providing mining companies with better insights into their risk profiles and enabling informed decision-making. At beadedstream, we are proud to contribute to this transformation with our digital temperature monitoring solutions. Our temperature cables and data loggers provide essential data on ground conditions, enabling mine owners to detect seepage in tailings storage facilities more efficiently and cost-effectively. For tailings dams built on permafrost, our technology offers critical insights into temperature profiles, helping to ensure the stability of frozen foundations amidst a warming climate. Shoutout to SRK Consulting for its leadership in advancing tailings dam safety through digital innovation.

#ASXNews Development Update – Approvals and Project Progress Meeka Metals Limited is pleased to advise the approval of the mine dewatering and clearing permits. The Company acknowledges the current high level of permitting activity under assessment by DEMIRS (approximately 400 open applications) and expects the final permit, the open pit Mining Proposal, early in the September 2024 quarter. • Two permits required for the development of the Company’s 100% owned Murchison #Gold Project have been approved.  • A final permit, the open pit Mining Proposal, is expected to be received early in the September 2024 quarter.  • Site works are progressing with infrastructure arriving and the establishment of services and water supply for the camp and administration complex.  • The $2.2M secured, bridging loan facility (ASX announcement, 17 June 2024) has been drawn down, with $1.34M funding the purchase of a camp, administration complex and associated infrastructure including: • 116-person camp; • 200-person change house and ablutions for the Andy Well mining centre; • 36.5m x 14.5m fully fitted-out administration complex for the Andy Well mining centre; • 12m x 9m open pit mining office form the Turnberry mining centre; and • 110kL fuel storage tank. • Full credit approval for a larger project development facility remains targeted for July 2024. • Site activities including relocation and installation of the above infrastructure to ramp up post funding. Commenting on the progress, #MEK’s Managing Director Tim Davidson said: “Pleasingly we have received approval for several activities, with only one permit remaining to transition our Murchison Gold Project from development ready to full execution. Infrastructure and equipment mobilisation to site are ongoing. Preparation works are also underway in anticipation of installing the camp, administration complex, and underground mining change house in July 2024.” See the full announcement: https://bit.ly/3xM0XWK #MeekaMetals #MiningNews #ASX

As Qld mining professionals based on site know, there are buildings, shipping containers, and other assets that do not meet current tie-down requirements.   And these cannot be classed as Safe Havens.   If you are a Mining professional tasked with finding answers to this challenge, BEAR believe we have a proven, certified solution for you.   Untold numbers of accommodation buildings, etc. throughout Qld mines are installed Old School - just sitting on dry-stacked blocks. These assets are prime candidates for needing to be made safe.   Previously, many of these buildings were secured with ‘duck-bill’ ground anchors - no longer a preferred option for securing assets.   Over time, duck-bills can lose their effectiveness, at times to the point of failure.   These duck-bills can work loose.   Their conical shape means they are easy to install, but with any seasonal ground movement – dry seasons, wet seasons they can become loose in the ground..   This means they become easily moved or removed and then provide no tie-down strength, at all.   With black soil predominant in many of Qld’s coal fields, ground movement is common – so you need a solution that negates this surface ground movement.   BEAR’s screw piles are designed to be installed to any depth required.    If you had, say 1,200mm of black soil, over deeper subsoil of solid ground, screw piles are installed through the black soil and anchor firmly in the stronger ground below.   This system allows the surface level black soil to move, expand, contract while the screw piles are through the black soil and into firm holding below. And your assets remain secure.   Testing shows this alternative ground anchor system can offer greater than 50 year expected life span.   For the mining professionals, a specific key advantage is the screw pile system is fully engineered and certified – allowing Safe Haven status to be achieved.   This system is utilized on existing assets and on newly installed assets.   Virtually no excavation required. No concrete or concrete pumps required. No open holes on site. Simplicity of system design means less people required on site.   Less people means reduced risk for the mining professionals responsible for managing risk (And isn’t that everyone?).   Mining engineers, project managers, risk managers, compliance specialists, etc. are welcome to request a copy of our free Performance Guide.   The Performance Guide provides all the technical details required by engineers (etc.) when assessing the suitability of our screw piles for their projects.   Reach out to BEAR Screw Piling if you’d like to know more about our ground anchor/tied own system, or anything screw piling related.
