We take our Digging Deep Dialogue to Chattanooga, a city in South-Eastern Tennessee, in the USA. We seek to learn more about real time heap leach monitoring technologies enabling the mining industry to practice more responsible stewardship. Our mission is not in vain, as we get to learn more about Canary Systems, Inc. value offerings from Will Conrad, Monitoring Technology Solution Architect for Canary Systems’ Mining Group. Will holds both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in mining engineering from Virginia Tech, where he focused on ground control and monitoring systems. Boasting over 10+ years of worldwide experience in architecting monitoring programs for underground, open pit, heap leach, and tailings operations, we are definitely in good company and experience. Our conversation, focused on Canary Systems' heap leach monitoring technology, reactive vs proactive approaches to heap leach failures, their value proposition to the gold and copper mining industry in Africa and we capped off with a brief discussion about the June 2024 Yukon heap leach failure. Let's dig deep and learn more from Will. #heapleach #miningtechnology #miningindustry #diggingdeep

Weir Motion Metrics | Enoch Chow | ShovelMetrics™ Gen 3 continues to deliver performance boosts for mines around the world! Watch here: https://lnkd.in/difUeXy3, as ShovelMetrics™ Gen 3’s alert system prompts maintenance crews to perform a tooth change-out before further damage to the adapter or bucket lip could occur. Here are 5 things you must know about ShovelMetrics™ Gen 3: 1. It provides mines the advantage they need by minimizing unplanned downtime and productivity losses. 2. It uses artificial intelligence and computer vision to provide critical missing G.E.T detection alerts, tooth wear monitoring to anticipate change-outs, payload monitoring to ensure consistently optimized truckloads, and bucket-by-bucket particle size data for fragmentation analysis - an important digabilty metric. 3. It prevents expensive equipment downtime by allowing mines to divert contaminated loads away from the crusher while being integrated into any existing mine-management systems. 4. The advanced bucket camera provides operators with unique and unprecedented loading insights in real-time, enabling immediate action to maximize operational productivity while extending equipment lifespan. 5. Bucket-by-bucket payload monitoring for hydraulic shovels delivers continuous payload feedback to the operator, ensuring each bucket load is maximized to achieve optimal loading compliance.

Digging Deep takes its search for sustainability and innovation in the mining industry to Sudbury in Ontario, Canada. We sought to delve deeper and unpack the zero-emission monorail technology from RIINO Inc. Their fully electric rail system is making waves in the industry, ushering in a new era of haulage technology for open-pit and underground mining operations globally. Speaking to CEO and Founder, Aaron Lambert gave us more insight into the man himself, RIINO's value proposition to the mining industry, how deploying their technology aligns with shareholder strategic goals and ESG expectations, how operational teams on African mines can actively participate in RIINO's technology scoping studies and we cap off with what is on the horizon. Let's dig deep and learn more from Aaron. #zeroemissions #decarbonization #RIINO #diggingdeep #miningindustry

Our Digging Deep Dialogue journey takes us to Lunsar in Sierra Leone. Lunsar is a traditional trade center of the Marampa chiefdom in the Port Loko District of the northern province of Sierra Leone. It's in our quest to find mining champions in Africa, that we meet with Khumo Nnyenyiwa, Chief Mining Engineer at Marampa Mines Limited a subsidiary of the Gerald Group. She embodies the true definition of 'champion' blended with experience, confidence, kindness and most importantly the pioneering attitude of exemplary leadership in Africa's mining industry. Our conversation cascades across various touchpoints including her 16 year journey in the mining industry, her leadership qualities, Sierra Leone as a mining destination in Africa, and we close off with a 'mirror moment' of self introspection. Let's dig deeper and learn more from Khumo. #sierraleone #miningengineer #womeninmining #miningindustry #diggingdeep
