Underwater Mining: An Effective Way to Access Mineral Resources
Mining companies interested in a different yet more efficient method to extract minerals underwater should look into project VAMOS. This project is in the process of inventing a mining system that can be operated underwater whose main purpose is to access minerals underground in underwater unmined deposits as well as in deserted flooded mines, which are difficult to extract using standard mining techniques. This robotic mining system opens up the way for reviving deserted and flooded mines that have open pits. The technology has the capability to lengthen the lifespan of opencast mines with high stripping ratios where huge quantities…
