    Using an undisturbed landform to calibrate long-term predictions of the evolution of a rehabilitated landform

    By G R. Hancock, M J. Saynor, J B. C Lowry, K G. Evans, M Narayan

    Tools such as landform evolution models (LEMs) provide a means of predicting how a landform may evolve over extended periods of time. Here, we utilise the CAESAR-Lisflood LEM to assess a proposed reha

    Can robots break the drill and blast bottleneck in underground roadway development in hard rock?

    By M Berner, N A. Sifferlinger, E Fimbinger

    Today, the advance rate of underground roadway development by drill and blast operation is limited by the need to ventilate the toxic blast fumes after each cycle. In deep mines this usually is only p

    Relationship between thermal conductivity and structure of alkaline earth (Ca, Mg) aluminoborosilicate melts

    By H Aoki, A Nakayama, K Morita, S Yamada

    The thermal conductivity of mold flux is crucial for optimising the productivity and quality of steels. This study investigates the thermal conductivity of molten oxides, including CaO-BO1.5-AlO1.5 (C

    Queensland Mines Should Consider Climate Change Impacts for Decommissioning

    By M C. Evans

    "Mine decommissioning is the final phase in a mining project. Planning for decommissioning must commence for a proposed mine even before the government approves it. Queensland mining approvals require

    Beyond Grade Control - Broken Links in the Chain of Value

    By A Weeks an, R Bertinshaw, S Khosrowshahi

    Good mining is central to any approach to value tracking. Good mining occurs where the ore is correctly delineated, measured and fed to the mill. This process is usually referred to as grade control,
