Researchers from the University of Queensland have developed a framework that aims to reduce the mining industrys impact on climate change by accounting for sources and sinks of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The proposed framework, which was published this month in the journal Nature Geoscience, is intended to assist the mining industry to better monitor, gather and assess emissions
Incorporating automated systems that offer greater productivity, purposing new technologies to aid in the discovery and accurate quantifying of deposits, and systems capable of real time analysis to increase efficiency and profitability, all stand to not only change but modernize the entire mining industry. The modernization of the mining industry will have a large impact on supporting industries and businesses.
Reducing Cost. The main driver for data collection is still cost reduction. Having realtime information, as opposed to historical, is crucial. Access to data within your supply chain allows you to set transportation benchmarks, optimize routes, plan loads, and in turn, find opportunities to reduce freight costs.
Rehabilitate exposed mine land to reduce environmental dust load. Use ventilation and filtration to minimise dust ( adjust ventilation rates for maximum efficiency, use
09/01/2020#0183;#32;Metals and mining companies operating Europe are set to remain in recovery mode as a sluggish recovery in mineral prices keep investment activity subdued. Companies must remain cautious and focus on improving balance sheets to protect themselves from potential price volatility. Sourcing locally and developing the local supply base could be an effective way for companies to increase the security of supply, reduce costs, minimize
Increasing productivity and cutting wasteful costs could help the mining industry when market conditions are tough. Chris Lo talks to Michael Beare of SRK Consulting to find out what mines could, or should, be doing to maximise their margins.
Finance adaptation: Financial barriers can prevent mining companies from engaging in mitigation and adaptation processes. Governments can use financial incentives as motivation for the private sector to invest in new products or operational methods that lower
