Our society has an insatiable appetite for what only mining can deliver – copper, tin, and all the other elements that make modern life possible. Dr. Adam Simon estimates, for example, that 2 trillion pounds of primary copper must be mined to satisfy demand. But, with most “obvious” copper deposits already depleted, ores are harder to find and harder to extract. That’s why precision, especially in drilling and blasting, is essential.
This panel will discuss how data-driven, unified approaches to drill and blast can provide this precision, leading to optimized mine-to-mill operations and improved sustainability.
