MINING EQUIPMENT AUSTRALIA
Australia started its mining in February 1851 were gold was initially discovered in New South Wales. This brought in foreign nationals from all around the world as hopeful prospectors. Some of the gold mine sites that were discovered in the early years are, Kimberley rush, Fraser’s reef, Southern Cross, Coolgardie and Kalgoorlie. All presently known gold fields were declared official by the year 1900. There was a peak in production in 1920 in Western Australia when the State produced 64,229 kilos of gold. Its gold production grew enormously but declined during World war two. By 1976, restrictions that had been implemented on the gold market were lifted. The economy boomed and the prices of gold started rising steadily. Australia has remained the third largest producer of gold in the entire world.
Australia is considered to be a leading innovator on mining equipment. One of the latest developments is the use of geosciences. This new technology helps reduce the time of mineral discovery by lessening the cost and increasing the discovery rate rather successfully. This process uses non proprietary and proprietary technologies combine large data geochemical and geological into one database which is three dimensional. Knowledge is derived from this database with the use of diverse techniques. Most of these techniques have been developed by Australia itself. This software centers its focus on extracting the maximum amount of resources. It also thereby lessens the time and cost generally associated with drilling and mining a gold mine.
Some of these technologies have found its way all the way to the United States. For example, P&H Mining makes use of digital drives and operators that are semi automatic which are manufactured in Australia. This assists in increasing productivity and performance of the machine. Certain aids help as an upgrade to the machine that currently exists for excavations that are larger to drill gold, silver and diamonds. The return investment is greater when combined with the equipment that already exists.
Firefly is a mining innovation worth mentioning which has developed a cell technology that is diverse from the traditional batteries made of lead acid currently being used. The material now used for the new battery has a surface area about two thousand times more in cubic inch. An average of 75 percent of lead is used relatively less than the original battery. This technology could assist remote places in Australia and other mines around the State.
PITRAM is software that is an innovation developed by Micromine in Australia. It is a computerized package which monitors mine fleeting and its production. The development of communication is then upgraded into a system which is fully automated. It has a communication and monitoring system which is based on a GPS tracking device. Newmont acquiring this software is a milestone in the Micromine Company, since Placer Dome, MIM and Newcrest are using this product. You can find this software in operation at Golden Grove and Pajingo which are two former sites in Normandy. Based on evaluating this software at the Newmont site, some US companies are also requesting to apply PITRAM in their mining operations.
