Amazon rainforests have many hidden treasures; thus, a balance between mine activities
and the environment must be maintained. In the northern region of Brazil, there is a large …

Comminution is a major contributor to the production costs in a mining operation. Therefore,
process optimization in comminution can significantly improve cost efficiency. The mine-to …

Innovation has an important role in improving the productivity, safety and sustainability of
mining operations. Historically, ore transport was done by diesel trucks, but with the …

Fragmentation size distribution affects shovel productivity through digability and fill factor
and truck productivity through payload, loading time and waiting time at the loader. The …

The fragmentation rate and particle size distribution of the muckpile after blasting have
important influences on the performance of subsequent mining activities such as loading …
