To produce the resources that we need, mining operations are delving deeper and deeper. This poses a number of problems, especially when it comes to keeping workers safe. The deeper the mine, the more adverse the environment, and the greater the risk of rock fracturing. This has put pressure on mining innovators to provide solutions to …
We're helping the mining industry to protect the health of its workforce by solving the problem of noise control. Our temporary and portable noise reduction barriers provide a simple, fast and effective way to reduce noise energy from machinery, compressors, pumps and generators - by as much as 99%.
Moreover, the reuse of the waste stream from the mining industry via industrial symbiosis, which is in line with CE principles, also provides an avenue to realise the potential for possible uses of mining waste products (Balanay and Halog, 2016; Kristensen & Mosgaard et al., 2020).
This article mainly focuses on the last pillar shown in Figure 1 (i.e. engineering controls), which entails the use of noise controls. The main objective of this article was to present some of the engineering noise control methods that are currently being used across the world in the mining industry and how these noise control …
Here are the current 6 key challenges that need to be addressed and mitigated by the mining industry: 1. Climate, Social and Environmental Pressures. This is high on the agenda for many industries, but mining is under severe scrutiny. Mining contributes a significant amount to global greenhouse gas emissions and miners are …
Yet, data reveal that in 2018, women represented 22% of the workforce in the mining and petroleum sectors ( Catalyst, 2020 ). This shows underrepresentation, defined by Norberg and Falthlom (2018) as a process of exclusion resulting from men's fear of losing power, and undermines the male image rooted in mining.
1. Structural strengths. Areas such as remuneration, tight-knit communities, and teamwork are typically well managed by mining companies. Remuneration is seen as a particular strength for the front …
However, limited literature exists focusing on barriers to and enablers of technology adoption in the mining sector. Using data from 28 interviews with mining experts, this study identified five environmental- and four organisational-level barriers to technology adoption in mining. It also uncovered five enablers to overcome these …

In this research, the authors have explored barriers, drivers and triggers in the mining industry towards its transition to circular economy. The mining industry is one of the core industries in the primary sector. The method of extraction of minerals and processing has a huge impact on circular initiatives in the mining industry.
As the raw-materials supplier to the economy, the mining sector will need to grow at an unprecedented pace in order to enable the required technological shifts. The sector will be expected to move at a faster pace, despite its traditional reputation as a long lead-time, highly capital-intensive industry.
A workshop on barriers to green mining innovation in Canada, hosted by NRCan, was facilitated by MNP on March 7, 2013 in Toronto, Ontario. The main objective of the workshop was to identify best practices under the three recommendations approved by the Ministers that would improve the verification and adoption of green mining …
4. Explosions and Fires. The use of explosives and flammable materials in mining operations increases the risk of explosions and fires. Implementing strict storage and handling protocols, conducting regular safety inspections, and maintaining firefighting equipment and evacuation plans are essential safety measures. 5.

Barriers getting in the way of innovation in mining. 1. The cadence of the mining industry. The cadence of the mining industry is different from other industries. Manufacturing tends to work on a cadence driven by a product cycle, and product cycles have been getting shorter. Agriculture works on a seasonal cadence.
Here are the best practices and efficient use of water in the mining industry: 1. Reduce the amount of water used. Develop approaches that lower the need for water during the mining process. You might come up with strategies to keep process materials as dry as possible as they're moving through the flow sheet.
The daily operations in the mining industry are still a significant source of risk with regard to occupational safety and health (OS & H). Various research studies and statistical data world-wide show that the number of serious injuries and fatalities still remains high despite substantial efforts the industry has put in recent years in decreasing those …
Change 1: Mining majors are getting smarter and effective in the identification of new mining targets. Identification of new targets is of prime importance and mining majors want their geologists to have access to geophysical and geochemical data from pilot holes, legacy and public information at the click of a button.
Two other reports were recently completed for NRCan on barriers to green mining; however, these reports did not agree as to what current regulatory barriers exist or are perceived to exist. The purpose of our analysis was to confirm what barriers, if any, do exist and provide initial analysis on each barrier.
The mining industry comes with its fair share of challenges; from access to power supply to uncertainty around commodity prices, miners are always looking at ways to overcome barriers to stay competitive. Below we explore 5 challenges currently being faced by the mining industry in Australia. 1.
