Wide body truck traction There is no doubt that wide body trucks are making their presence known in mining in the smaller payload range up to 100 t. Essentially, they are larger, more powerful and much more robust versions of tipper trucks. Having already taken the Chinese mining market by storm over the past decade, with models being supplied by numerous manufacturers, their influence is now being seen in other important mining countries and markets, such as Thailand, Pakistan, Indonesia, Mongolia, Chile, Brazil, Guinea, South Africa, Botswana and Uzbekistan to name a few. It was only a matter of time before we covered it in IM then! For 2024's last IM Leader, Paul Moore delved into this market, referencing two conversations IM had around MINExpo with Cat Mining - on its plans to launch a 70-t payload wide body off-highway truck - and XCMG Group - on the evolution of bigger wide body trucks set to eat up rigid truck market share in certain sizes.

Growth pathways for BHP's Escondida In a wide ranging presentation forming part of its 2024 Chilean #copper site tour, BHP provided insight into how it intends to continue delivering copper growth, including at its flagship #Escondida mine, via a series of pathways. Escondida like a number of other long life copper mines is facing grade decline & increased ore hardness. But it remains the world’s largest copper operation. Ore is extracted from two open pits – Escondida & #EscondidaNorte . The broad long term timeline for Escondida moving into the 2030s will see an initial production decline as the ageing #LosColorados concentrator (96,000 t/d) is demolished, followed by a production increase as a new concentrator ramps up and high-grade ore is accessed. #BHP Leach application on #ripios will also begin to contribute. In the near term, BHP is looking to extend the life of Los Colorados with timing optionality & also make expansions at the #LagunaSeca concentrators (LS1 handles 130,000 t/d currently and LS2 147,000 t/d). Larger mechanical #flotationcells along with Eriez #Hydrofloat #coarseparticle #flotation are also part of plans for the Laguna Seca plants and the new plant that will replace Los Colorados. Another major focus is increasing mining intensity to support the long term growth of concentrator capacity. The current Escondida ex-pit mine movement is ~400 Mt/y. Key changes in mine design, a fleet upgrade and productivity initiatives could enable increase this to >500 Mt/y. Moves could include larger pushbacks, more access ramps, a change in pit wall angle plus more and larger trucks (the new ultraclass fleet potentially increasing to around 190), and larger shovels – the mine is already one of the first users of Komatsu Mining ’s P&H 4800 XPC. Current mining equipment & fixed infrastructure at Escondida totals 188 trucks plus 18 electric shovels. There are four primary crushers & a #conveyance system for transport to concentrators plus one #primarycrusher and a conveyance system for the leaching route ie cathodes. A full fleet replacement is underway to the previously announced new Caterpillar Inc. diesel-electric 400 ton class #798AC truck fleet which will help unlock additional capacity & enable transition to autonomous operations. This was discussed by International Mining Editorial Director Paul Moore with BHP’s VP Technology, Minerals Americas, Pedro Hidalgo , at the EXPONOR CHILE - ¡Nos vemos en EXPONOR 2026! show in #Antofagasta earlier this year. All the #autonomoustrucks are currently operating in an #autonomouszone in Escondida Norte – to date 15 out of a fleet of 36 Cat Mining 798 AC trucks, with all 36 expected to be running autonomously by July 2025. The total conversion of 141 trucks is expected by FY30 (with 52 trucks converted & operating at Escondida Norte by FY27). Autonomous drilling ( Epiroc #PitVipers using the OEM automation system) is also progressing (20% to date). #futureofmining #theelectricmine #mineofthefuture

Record export ball mill from CITIC to Cardinal Namdini in Ghana In the presence of the President of #Ghana , Akufo-Addo, and the Chinese Ambassador to Ghana Tong Defa, a ceremony was held recently on November 8 to mark the commissioning and first gold pour at Shandong Gold Group Co., Ltd. ’s Cardinal Namdini Mining Ltd (A Shandong Gold Company) , which is now the third largest #gold mine in Ghana. It is also significant as it is located in the north of the country. The President stated at the event: “This mine we commission today is evidence of the power of exploration as the lifeblood of the mining industry. For years, this area, and several other areas within this northern belt of our country, have only been known for small-scale mining. Large-scale mining firms have concentrated on the south, largely influenced by the literature that links gold only to the south of our nation. It is investment in exploration that led to the construction of this mine, which we are told today will become the third largest mine in the country and one of the largest single-stream gold mines in West Africa.” CITIC Heavy Industries Co Ltd (CITIC HIC) supplied an overflow type 8.2 x 12.7 m ball mill to Cardinal Namdini. The ball mill saw its factory test run at CITIC HIC’s factory in #Luoyang , China on August 15, 2023 before subsequent delivery to the customer. The ball mill is the largest exported from China to date, and in accordance with international standards and norms, CITIC Heavy Industries says it has applied key technologies such as a variable frequency dual-drive #synchronousmotor drive, large pure static #bearings and lubrication, intelligent load sensing, and large #opengear design and manufacturing, adopting high-efficiency, parametric 3D design and intelligent factory manufacturing. CITIC says the large #ballmill offers a high operation rate and low maintenance and “represents the current international advanced level of high-end mining equipment, and is another important step in what is being achieved in the export of large ‘Made in China’ critical mineral processing equipment. CITIC Heavy Industry also provided two CC400 #conecrushers , a PXZ54-75 gyratory crusher and a CSM-950 vertical #stirredmill for the Cardinal Namdini gold project, which it says fully demonstrated its excellent technical strength and professional service capabilities in the field of #mineralprocessing . During the commissioning stage, CITIC arranged for eight of its skilled service engineers to carry out overseas installation services. Cardinal Namdini is Shandong Gold’s first overseas ‘self-built’ large-scale gold mine in Ghana, and also the first large-scale self-built project of a major Chinese enterprise in West Africa. It is one of the largest gold mines in West Africa and is expected to consolidate Ghana’s position as one of the world’s leading gold producers, with production expected to reach 350,000 oz/y. #futureofmining #Ghanamining #comminution

China's new autonomous FCEV mining truck project While the majority of global attention today is on progress with diesel-battery hybrid and all battery mining trucks, work on hydrogen-powered mining trucks continues – which are still a form of hybrid using a #hydrogen fuel cell- #lithiumbattery energy system often referred to as #FCEV or #FuelCell #ElectricVehicle . One hydrogen mining truck hotspot has been China. Weichai International , better known as an engine supplier, built a 200 ton class FCEV truck as far back as 2019 working with CRRC Corporation Ltd. Yongji but it was never commercialised. Inner Mongolia North Hauler Joint Stock Co., Ltd. (NHL) has built the 150 ton class NTH150 which is still in testing at #Huolinhe coal mine. Earlier this year coal mining giant #CHNEnergy , leading Chinese mining equipment OEM XCMG Group and hydrogen fuel cell supplier #THIKONewEnergy held a signing ceremony for development of a 240 ton class FCEV mining truck to be deployed at the #Baorixile coal mine of CHN Energy. These are all rigid trucks, but there are numerous FCEV examples in wide body trucks in China as well. The latest rigid truck project to get off the ground is at CHN Energy’s Shenhua Beidian Shengli Energy Co Ltd, better known as the #Shengli mine, in #Xilinhot , Inner Mongolia, where a 110 t class truck known as the HT3110E built by Aerospace Heavy Industry (AHI), part of China Space Sanjiang Group (CSSG), is now in test operation. This FCEV uses hydrogen fuel cells supplied by #Reshape Energy. It is equipped with a 70MPa #hydrogenstorage system and the truck can reach a maximum speed of 50 km/h under heavy load conditions. Reshape Energy says its independently developed fuel cell system has the advantages of strong load capacity, long service life, and high safety. The average operating altitude is about 1,000 m at Shengli with a big temperature difference between winter and summer ranging from -25°C to 30°C. Reshape Energy cooperated with AHI to improve the vibration resistance and heat dissipation performance of the fuel cell system. The truck can reduce diesel consumption of 320,000L per year equating to over 230 tons of carbon emissions. Not only that but the truck is being operated autonomously – one of the first if not the first FCEV to do so – using autonomous haulage technology supplied by one of China’s AHS leaders, #TAGEIdriver . The hydrogen fuel cell driverless heavy-duty mining dump truck project was included in the ‘1025’ project of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council. Currently, the hydrogen energy mining truck has achieved full-load trial operation and has been run autonomously for over 600 km. The truck has a total hydrogen storage capacity of 5,052 litres with a system weight of 203 kg and combines four 140 kW hydrogen fuel cell modules with a lithium iron phosphate battery for total power output of 900 kW. #futureofmining #theelectricmine #mineofthefuture

How can I use 50% less water in my tailings processes? Water is not an easy resource to come by in an increasing number of mining regions, so being able to make significant H2O savings on the tailings side of your processing flowsheet comes with significant benefits. Weir’s Transformational Flowsheets are achieving exactly this, leveraging proven technology in new innovative ways to make an impact at mines all over the globe. In many instances, the application of GEHO positive displacement pumps can reduce water consumption by 50%, complementing this with energy savings of 30%. And, in a TERRAFLOWING™ flowsheet, Weir equipment can match that same 50% water reduction, providing the optimal balance between energy consumption and water recovery. During a webinar on November 25 at 8am CET, Weir Minerals experts ( Erik Vlot and Job Kruyswijk ) will highlight these savings through a focus on three customisable flowsheets – the TERRAFLOWING flowsheet, Coarse Particle Flotation flowsheet and Hydraulic Dewatered Stacking flowsheet. They will also share findings from three tailings flowsheet case studies – including one that contributed to a 50% reduction in CAPEX! ◼️ Date: 25 November ◼️ Time: 8 AM CET (UTC+1) ◼️ Online: https://lnkd.in/eg7Kki4t Secure your place now! #tailingsmanagement #sustainablemining #sustainablesolutions #TERRAFLOWING #CPF #CoarseParticleFlotation #HDS #HydraulicDewateredStacking #Transformationalflowsheets #GEHO
