MINE digital magazine: Issue 12

Mining may have traditionally been a man’s job, but today more and more women are joining the industry. We talk to some of the most influential women in the business about their careers and about what can be done to encourage more women to pursue a career in mining.

The Wiluna project is the first uranium mine approved in Western Australia since a ban on uranium mining was lifted in the state in 2008. As Toro Energy’s $269m development goes ahead, and with similar projects set to follow, we ask what renewed uranium mining activity could do for the industry and Australia’s economy.

After years of being criticised as an environmental polluter, the industry is making headway on its path towards sustainability. From portable rigs to hybrid underground vehicles designed to improve air quality, we review the most innovative equipment that will reduce operational costs and ecological destruction, and improve efficiency.

Next issue preview

Achieving maximum efficiency is the new Holy Grail in mining. We find out how the industry, which has not traditionally been considered very energy conscious, is working to become more energy efficient and how new developments in underground mining technology will help.

We also investigate how water-intensive processes in mining are affecting the environment and which efforts are being made to improve water efficiency, and gain new insights into post-mining land restoration projects in the Amazon rainforest.

Moreover, we ask how the discovery of small-scale faults could lead to golden finds in the mines of Western Australia and which techniques are the best to find deposits, and take a look at new, ‘smart’ technologies that are helping operators improve predictive maintenance procedures for critical equipment.
