Powered support plays a major role in longwall mining and improper selection may lead to a disaster. While different countries follow different norms, a universal approach is needed to be developed. For this purpose, a computer program C-ALPS

As a prerequisite to achieving integrated regional production reporting across multiple sites, Newmont Australia initiated a project to standardise the configuration and use of mine control systems at three underground sites. This paper outlines the project and considers the outcomes which, in a number of cases, have exceeded the original objectives.

At CPA we believe that ore bodies discovered in future will be bigger and higher grade than the ones currently known and set out targets accordingly. Discoveries over the last three decades substantiated this approach.

A case is made for broader commercial education of executive and operational managers in Australian mining companies. The competitive advantages and disadvantages of Australian miners are examined. Areas of opportunity are identified which could be exploited by broader applications of proven techniques to commercial management of mining companies.

Three applications of fuzzy logic in mineral exploration show the possibility of providing feasible solution and allow greater freedom in decision-making processes for geoexploration data which may be ill- defined, biased or where apriori infor

There are no efficient methods and instruments available in China at present for diagnosing the leakage problem for a hydraulic support system in underground coal mines. A new method has been developed to solve the problem. It is proposed that

I will confine my remarks to normal computers that people interact with, rather than built-in processors which exist in every watch and washing machine these days. I will also confine myself to computing in the technical side of mining. Bu

Proton microprobe analyses of trace elements have been carried out on a wide variety of ilmenites, garnets and chromites, to improve diamond exploration methods. The results so far show the potential to discriminate between barren and diamondiferous source rocks, and to distinguish multiple sources within single Drainages.

In the paper a complex problem was formulated for studying and establishing an effective and safe technology of selective underground leaching of useful components from polymetallic ores. Solving this problem will allow increasing technical and economic efficiency, technological and ecological safety of mining of useful minerals of polymetallic deposits.

This paper presents the results of studying the influence of catastrophic failures arising in mines, on the behaviour of mine ventilation systems. It is very important to take account of this influence for the stable operation of the system and to ensure mine safety when mining underground coal and ore deposits.
