Extraction
Extraction turns a known deposit into steady production. The right method, careful design and disciplined operation protect both the people on site and the economics of the project.
Areas
Open-Pit Mining
Mining from the surface by cutting the pit in regular benches and removing the waste rock above the ore. It suits shallow, extensive deposits.
Underground Mining
Reaching deep deposits through tunnels, shafts and declines, and extracting ore with a method matched to the orebody. Ground support and ventilation are central to the work.
Mine Design and Planning
Setting the final limits of the mine, the extraction sequence and the short- and long-term production schedule. A good plan keeps feed grade steady and costs predictable.
Drilling and Blasting
Designing the drill pattern and the charge and timing of each blast to break rock to the right size. Careful blasting lowers loading and crushing costs and keeps vibration under control.
Rock Mechanics
Studying how rock behaves under stress to design stable slopes and ground support. It underpins the safety of pit walls and underground openings.
Equipment
Extraction Machinery and Equipment
Production drill rigs, excavators and dozers matched to the mining method and scale. The right fleet raises both productivity and safety.
Loading and Haulage Equipment
Loaders, haul trucks and conveyors for moving ore and waste. How well loading and haulage work together drives much of the cost of mining.
