Borehole mining (BHM) represents a significant advancement in mineral extraction technology, offering a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional mining methods. This technique utilizes patented water jet technology to access mineral deposits through boreholes, minimizing surface disruption and reducing the overall environmental footprint. As the global demand for minerals and energy resources continues to rise, it becomes imperative to adopt mining practices t

The mining industry continuously seeks innovative methods to improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and enhance safety. Among these advancements, borehole mining (BHM) stands out as a transformative technique that leverages precision and technology to access mineral deposits with minimal surface disruption. This method, which involves the use of specialized equipment to extract resources through narrow, vertical shafts, offers a compelling alternative to traditional

The Stone Age, a vast chapter of human history stretching over more than three million years, caused a tremendous transformation in the life of a prehistoric man. He entered it barely able to walk upright, but by the exit, roughly 3,000 years BC, he developed communication skills, farming, hunting, art, weaving and many other professions, including making tools for hunting and agriculture. To craft these tools, he eventually began to use stones. According to ... To read/downl

Since measurements of a BHM stope require special equipment and procedures, an easy and quick beforehand jet-cutting test is recommended, similar to the one pictured below: In this case, the tool is positioned atop the production interval with the hydromonitor lowered to a short distance below the surface. A jet typically takes a few minutes to get through the ore (no rotation required) and reach the surface (in this case 26 FT away). This test provides a quick glimpse into t
