Abstract:
Extract from Editorial:
Lower commodity prices compounded by low productivity continue to be challenges that severely affect the global competiveness of the country’s mining industry. These challenges require us as an industry to continuously explore effective cost-containing strategies. It is therefore imperative that we regularly optimize and build flexibility into our
business systems, respond to these challenges, and leverage the role of new technology and mechanization into our production processes so that we can mine more safely and productively.
