Exploración minera en 2022: las principales tendencias a seguir

La industria minera ha pasado por tiempos complicados en los últimos años debido a las fluctuaciones en los precios de materias primas, cadenas de suministro extendidas, los impactos de COVID-19 y operaciones remotas, y la creciente presión en torno a las exigencias de regulaciones ambientales, sociales y de gobernanza (ESG).

8 Ways Mining Companies Can Enhance ROI and Productivity

Over the past several years, professionals in the mining industry have faced significant challenges despite continuing to expand innovation in the field.

Trends Impacting Mining: What to Expect in 2022 and Beyond

The mining industry has been through its fair share of upheaval over the past few years due to fluctuations in commodity prices, extended supply chains, COVID-19 impacts and remote operations and increasing pressure around environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impacts.

Mitigating Mining’s Environmental Impact With Technology

Traditionally, tailings dam monitoring has been a tedious, manual process with mixed results. Mine operators bore holes along the dam surrounding the tailings storage facility (TSF), then periodically visited those spots to take measurements.

Experts Discuss Tailings and Innovative Monitoring Technologies

Huge thanks to Antonio Caires, Henrique Alves, and Sean Hinchberger for contributing to such a dynamic and informative discussion. With over 50 years’ experience between them, we had a lot to learn from their insights related to current trends as well as developing technologies that could make TSFs safer, more secure, and more sustainable going forwards.

How is High Precision 3D Data Improving Mining Workflows?

Huge thanks to Chris Lane and Melissa Newton from Teck Resources, and Andy Jansen from Nevada Gold Mines for sharing their experiences.

What Does Earth Day Mean for Mining Companies?

The team at Skycatch is just a small percentage of the world’s population who are coming together to celebrate Earth Day today. It is estimated that more than 1 billion people worldwide take part in Earth Day initiatives every year, and we know that every single one of us counts.

3 Types of Highwall Mining Technology Making the Industry Safer

Mining is as much about gathering information as it is gathering metals and minerals. Similarly, as heavy equipment and extraction techniques have evolved over the years, so, too, have information-capturing techniques and technologies. Highwall mining, in particular, has come a long way, and modern mining operations are reaping the benefits with new mining solutions.

The Evolution of Data Capture and Analysis for Highwall Mining

Highwall mine analysis has come a long way, but progress didn’t happen overnight. For decades, accurately assessing slope stability and other highwall characteristics has been challenging, expensive and dangerous.

How Surveying Is No Longer The Highwall Mining Data Bottleneck

Capturing good, accurate data for highwall mining analysis has been a persistent challenge facing the mining industry, and we think it’s one worth improving.

How Digital Innovation in Mining is Changing the Face of the Industry

Techniques have come a long way since the Romans first began digging for tin using iron chisels and hammers—now we have all sorts of machinery to make the excavation and extraction of minerals safer and more accurate.

Extracting Useable Minerals from Mining Waste in Tailings Dams

In order to reach the mineral resources, miners must first remove layers of topsoil and waste rock from the ground, and when extraction is more or less complete, you are left with a liquid slurry called ‘tailings’ that must also be disposed.
