Here is why mining is digging into 5G

Chilombo Mahamba
Some 86% of mining companies say they plan to invest in wireless infrastructure in the next 18 months, according to an IDC 2021 Worldwide Mining Decision Maker Survey. Most named 5G as their priority because of its lower latency and higher bandwidth, which suggests industry members understand high-performance private wireless networks are essential to fulfilling the promise of Mining 4.0. 4.9G/LTE today, 5G tomorrow 5G may be enjoying higher profile these days because of the growing number of public 5G deployments and smartphones on the market — and because some… Read More Here

How Metals Can Be Extracted From Volcanoes

Chilombo Mahamba,
Scientists at the University of Oxford have demonstrated how it is possible to directly extract valuable metals from hot salty fluids (‘brines’) trapped in porous rocks at depths of around 2km below dormant volcanoes. They propose this radical green-mining approach to provide essential metals for a net zero future – copper, gold, zinc, silver and lithium – in a sustainable way. Magma beneath volcanoes releases gases that rise towards the surface. These gases are rich in metals. As the pressure drops, the gases separate into steam and brine. Most metals… Read More Here

How the mining sector can benefit from AI and drone technology

Chilombo Mahamba
Histories’ cautionary tale On 5 August 2010, the world’s focus shifted to the safety of mining’s greatest resource, it’s workers. As workers of the San Jose copper mine and Chile returned to work after lunch a mining operation’s greatest fear became worldwide news. In an instant one of the mine’s tunnels collapsed, trapping 33 men in the process. The 600m rescue mission took 17 days to complete all the while workers were pondering how this could have been avoided. Technology saves the day, and resources Technology’s impact in mining has… Read More Here

An Olympic ‘GOLD’ – Using Innovation to promote sustainability

Chilombo Mahamba
The Tokyo Organizing Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (Tokyo 2020) conducted the “Tokyo 2020 Medal Project”. This project was to extract gold and other metals to produce the Olympic and Paralympic medals. Small electronic devices such as used mobile phones were collected from all over Japan. Every single medal that was awarded to athletes during the Tokyo 2020 Games was made from recycled metals. 100% of the metals required to manufacture the approximately 5,000 gold, silver and bronze medals were extracted from the E-waste. TANAKA Holdings Co.Ltd signed… Read More Here

RESEARCHERS DEVELOP NEW ‘KEY-HOLE’ SURGERY TECHNIQUE

Chilombo Mahamba
A team of international researchers, including Dr Rich Crane from the Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter, have developed a key-hole surgery which will extract metals, such as copper, from their parent ore body.  The research team have provided a proof of concept for the application of an electric field to control the movement of an acid within a low permeability copper-bearing ore deposit to selectively dissolve and recover the metal in situ.   This is in contrast to the conventional approach for the mining of such deposits where the material… Read More Here
