Water worries
From the late 1990s it became clear that water would become a major issue for mining in the 21st Century. Competing demands and growing populations will limit access to fresh water and in many places, climate change will reduce the water available. Extreme weather events will overtop dams.

Timing your investment in geotechnical data collection can reduce financial risk
The capital expenditure required to bring a property from exploration to production is substantial, and if a mining company wants to be successful in navigating this long and potentially prosperous journey, every effort must be made to maximize the value of each dollar spent.

Narrow vein minimum dilution case study
AMC has conducted numerous studies to reduce dilution for mechanized narrow vein (NV) mining methods in operating mines. Methods have included longhole open stoping (LHOS) and mechanized cut and fill (CAF). Dilution can be classed as planned or unplanned.

Kazakhstan Mining Scene
Kazakhstan is the largest of the states that were formally part of the USSR. It is famous as the host for the Baikonur Cosmodrome, which at present, is the only route for astronauts/cosmonauts to travel to the International Space Station (ISS).

The unseen value of preserving and careful handling of borehole core: a geotechnical engineering perspective
The value stream of borehole core commences as soon as planning begins for the exploration drilling programme. The location, diameter, depth, and type of drilling are determined during this stage.
