1. How do CO2 and radon gases affect groundwater mining in the Canary Islands?
Abstract Water galleries are mines that seek to supply drinkable and irrigation water from the aquifer, in order to meet the demand for water in the Canary Islands. This sort of work entails a series of health risks in the form of gases. This document compiles three different studies on the gases that can be found in water galleries in the Canary Islands, ha

2. Multi-stage dumping sequence - a feasible waste management alternative for open pit mining
Abstract Waste management and environmental aspects are progressively gathering attention in the mining industry. Mine planners must deal with increasingly complex tasks to balance between ore block schedules, waste disposal, operational cost and environmental reclamation. The mine incomes are generally related to mining and processing of the ore, thus most

3. Development of a low-cost alternative for the monitoring of the ore hauling production indicators in small-scale mining
Abstract Small and medium-sized mining represent an important part of a country's min eral economy. These companies, although substantial and numerous, have low invest ment potential in their development through new technologies. One of the problems small and medium mining companies face is the ore hauling production monitoring. This operation alone can cons

4. Evaluation of environmental rehabilitation practices in bauxite mining at the plateau of Poços de Caldas
Abstract Bauxite mining has been carried out around Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, since the 1940s. Companies operating in the region pioneered land rehabilitation in Brazil, conducted since the early 1980s. Different procedures of recontouring, runoff drainage, soil preparation and vegetation planting were employed. This research aims to evaluate current e

6. Increased power efficiency in mining by using high-fidelity haul truck simulation
Abstract The current economic and political scenario in Brazil has allowed small, medium and large companies to adopt cost cutdown and productivity increase strategies. Diesel fuel consumption by off-highway haul trucks stands for one of the largest costs at the Sossego Mine operational management department. Based on this fact, as well as on the 8% increase

7. Optimum mine production rate based on price uncertainty
Abstract The production rate of a mining operation has an important effect on the operational cycle and gross profit, which are often evaluated based on engineering practices. Assessment of the economic performance of mine operations in mining engineering is of great importance because an incorrect production rate can result in significant financial losses.

8. Os “Hidronegócios” nos rios da Amazônia
RESUMO O artigo discute a história dos rios amazônicos como lugares de “hidronegócios”, analisando as fontes e a produção historiográfica sobre os registros de usos e representações das águas, bem como os processos de apropriação dos rios no contexto do planejamento do desenvolvimento regional entre 1950 e 1985, norteado pelas ideias de progre

9. A social license to operate: pre-mining effects and activities perspective
Abstract This research proposes a new approach to recommend a responsible mining guideline on how to secure a social license to operate in Ondo state, Nigeria for oil sands mineral resources taking into account the bituminous natural effects. This is the case of bituminous oil sands in Southern Nigeria, where warm weather can induce the emission of natural b

10. Mine fleet cost evaluation - Dijkstra's optimized path
Abstract The transport distance in a mining operation strongly influences a mine operation revenue and its operational cycle because it is a fundamental part of the total mining costs. Generally, the transport route is determined based on an engineer's practical knowledge, which does not consider any mechanism to optimize the possible routes to be taken. In

11. A decision-making method to assess the benefits of a semi-mobile in-pit crushing and conveying alternative during the early stages of a mining project
Abstract A significant cost in the operating budget of most mining operations arises from purchasing and maintaining haulage trucks. Recently, in-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) has been subject to research because of its potential to reduce haulage costs. The objective of this study is to identify early on in a project, by means of a decision-making metho

12. Application of ISO 31000 standard on tailings dam safety
Abstract Tailings dam safety is a frequent subject of discussion during mining project development. However, due to recent accidents with these structures, this issue has become even more prominent. A highlighted point is the risk management, which can be defined as the identification, analysis and maintenance of risks at acceptable levels during the design,
