ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: Canadian hardrock mines recognize the need to radically improve competitiveness in increasingly deeper reserves. The interaction between mining rock mechanics and the new information and automation technologies is examined as a means to re-engineer the mining process at depth. This will be dependent upon advances in mining methods, geosensing, machine intelligence, and intelligent planning and control systems.
