Future of efficient mining (Digital Mining GE)


Meet the GE Fairchild F330 continuous
miner, one of the strangest devices made
by GE. The machine weighs as much as a
fighter jet, stretches the length of a bus,
and crawls through cracks no taller than a
one year old. It can mine narrow coal
seams sandwiched between soft
sedimentary rock, and extract coal miners
used to leave behind.

Leave “Your Share” in Situ

About $27 billion of gold changes hands every day in over-the-counter markets where
settlements can sometimes take days, leaving price risk for buyers and sellers. Using
blockchain promises more transparency, security and speedier deals. It also could attract
new participants at a time when investors are souring on gold-backed exchange traded-
funds, a key source of growth in physical demand over the past decade.

With digital and good sampling / GIS technologies we know more and more what is
actually underground without previous risks.

With Sustainability Challenges there might be a case to keep the value FOR INVESTERS
underground.

Future of efficient mining (Barrick Gold)


After a productive meeting, they called her
back and told her they had gone in a
different direction, they now wanted “Stop
Mining the Earth Altogether”.

Apple have developed a robot that can


dismantle and recycle an old iPhone in 19
seconds. Extracting the gold, copper,
cobalt and other precious minerals to be
reused in a new phone.
Can we process our minerals in the ground
rather than taking it to the processing
plant? Significantly reducing environmental
impact and lowering the cost.
Or what if we use block chain?
Instantaneous purchase orders, taking out
all the middle men.
