Electric vehicles and power distribution: considerations for underground mine operators

Shifting to electric vehicles in underground mining offers significant benefits, but it also introduces new challenges. Power feeds often lack the capacity to handle the large power demand during charging; infrastructure upgrades require large capital investments; and even the overall service to site may not be sufficient. Without careful planning, mines risk load imbalances, brownouts, nuisance tripping of power distribution systems and possible reductions in production without significant capital investment. There’s no single fix to address all these obstacles. Instead, success depends on adaptive integration designs that evolve alongside the technology: solutions that demand ingenuity, innovative thinking and close collaboration across teams and vendors.

Underground stope drill and blast designs optimization program

The easiest way to mine valuable orebodies is through the use of explosives and well-planned blasting layouts that produce fragmentation profiles designed specifically for conveyance equipment in underground mines. The design of blasting patterns is specific to not only the explosives being used but also the rock or ore type being fragmented. Many blasting designs are based solely on the experience of those developed for similar orebodies in terms of properties and orientation or individuals that have some blasting experience.
