Block Cave Ventilation, Electric Vehicles, and Zero Emission Mining

OZ Minerals is an Australian based mining company focusing on copper. Currently, OZ Minerals is developing a new mine called Carrapateena located in South Australia, approximately 460 km north of the State capital Adelaide. Carrapateena will initially use Sublevel Caving (SLC) as the mining method but is also looking at transitioning into a Block Caving (BC) operation beneath the SLC footprint, as part of the Carrapateena Expansion Project.

In the media: VR mining is tested in Luleå

Luleå University of Technology and LTU Business participate in the EU's largest mining project, SIMS. At nine test sites in four countries, mining machines and communication technology are tested with the aim of developing the sustainable mines of the future.

In the media: Now abandoned mines can be room for large-scale energy storage

Most of the abandoned mines that exist today are not used for other purposes. A mine can thus become a perfect reservoir, a storage for the water for the Pumped Hydro technology. Old mines would therefore fill a function again, when it is no longer active for mining, it says Jenny Greberg, associate professor and researcher in mining and rock technology at Luleå University of Technology.
