The Mining Process in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Constance0 comment
The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a country rich in natural resources, particularly minerals, making mining a significant contributor to its economy. With vast reserves of cobalt, copper, gold, diamonds, and other minerals, the DRC holds a prominent position in the global mining industry. Let’s delve into the mining process in this mineral-rich nation. 1.Exploration: The mining process in the DRC typically begins with exploration activities aimed at identifying potential mineral deposits. Exploration methods may include geological surveys, remote sensing, drilling, and sampling to determine the size, grade, and… Read More Here

Why BLOCK CAVING is an economically viable option for the mining industry

Chilombo Mahamba
An insight on block caving mining method by David Sprott, Principal and Senior Mining Engineer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. When planning to develop a new mine, or to extend the life of an open pit operation, mine planners have an alternative mining method to consider: block caving. Some deposits are either too deep to economically extract by open pit methods or are of insufficient value to justify other costlier and conventional underground methods. In the right conditions, the advantages of block caving make it an alternative that is now… Read More Here

Technology offerings from FLSmidth – including significant advances in digitalisation – are helping to take mining into a more productive future. According to Terence Osborn, FLSmidth’s director of product and account management for sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East, technology is a vital pillar of the company’s status as a solution-provider in mineral processing. “Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, mines have accelerated their take-up of technology that allows remote monitoring, control and process optimisation,” Osborn notes. “With our decades of product development in this space, we have been well placed… Read More Here

Drilling is the process of creating a hole in a hard surface, specifically where the length of the hole is greater than its diameter. It’s an integral part of the mining process, albeit less dramatic than, say, blasting.  If you’re curious to know why mining couldn’t exist without this essential process, read on to discover five things that you may not know about drilling.  Drilling is central to mineral exploration Every single mining project begins with exploration. This is the first stage, before any mining occurs, in which geologists and various… Read More Here
