Top Manufacturers of Autonomous Haulage Systems for the Mining Industry

Many mining companies across the globe are adopting the use of autonomous haulage systems (“AHS”), which not only improve the safety of mining operations but also improve maintenance and efficiency. This technology decreases the risk of injuries at mining sites by automating haulage operations and reducing the number of individuals needed around mining equipment. Additionally, the systems help avoid shift changes or breaks, which are linked to the use of manned machines. This also allows miners to decrease fuel emissions and consumption. Below is a list of some of the top manufacturers of autonomous haulage systems that serve the mining…

IEA Says Rising Metals Prices Could Jeopardize Clean Energy Plans

The International Energy Agency (“IEA”), through a recently released report, says that the rise in the price of different clean energy metals may jeopardize the plans of different countries to switch to clean forms of energy, such as the use of electric vehicles. According to the IEA, attaining the ambitious goals set out in the provisions of the Paris Accord is likely to trigger a fourfold growth in the demand for minerals by 2040. However, the limited investment made to bring new mines into production could propel the cost of ecofriendly energy upwards by a significant margin. Fatih Birol, the…

Australian Team Develops Mining Technique That Uses Magnetic Fields Rather Than Digging

Scientists from the University of Exeter, the Technical University of Denmark, CSIRO (which is the national science agency in Australia) and the University of Western Australia have designed a new mining method that extracts minerals from hard rock ore using electric fields. The method could replace the conventional digging technique, which causes significant effects to the environment. These include biodiversity loss, formation of sinkholes, deforestation, erosion and the contamination of ground, soil and surface water. Currently, methods of digging are utilized in 99% of activities involved in mining, which often leads to large quantities of solid waste and considerable environmental…
