💡 What Happens to Waste Rock in Mining? In every mining operation, not all rock extracted contains valuable minerals. The material with insufficient economic value—known as waste rock—must still be handled responsibly. After excavation, waste rock is typically hauled to designated storage areas, known as waste rock dumps or stockpiles. These are carefully engineered to ensure slope stability, erosion control, and drainage management. In modern mines, environmental engineers also assess the rock’s acid-generating potential to prevent acid mine drainage (AMD), which can contaminate water resources. Increasingly, mining companies are re-evaluating waste rock as a resource. Techniques such as re-mining for residual metals, crushing for aggregate use, and progressive reclamation are turning waste rock piles into sustainable landforms and even construction materials. Mining responsibly means closing the loop—treating waste not as a by-product, but as part of a continuous cycle of value and restoration. 🌱 💭 How do you think the mining industry can further repurpose waste rock to support sustainability?

Hello everyone, Hopefully this kind of post is allowed, I’m Luis Torres, Founder and CEO at TOM a Texas-based company pioneering autonomous excavation systems for lunar regolith and sustainable mining applications on Earth. At TOM, we’re developing technologies originally designed for the Moon, robotic excavation, dust mitigation, and in-situ processing, that could also assist in tailings sampling, reprocessing, and remediation here on Earth. We’re currently exploring how our lunar excavation systems can adapt to the unique challenges of mine tailings, including variability in density, grain size, and consolidation. Before advancing our next phase of Earth trials, I’d love to connect with professionals working in tailings management, sampling, or testing to exchange experiences and identify potential research collaborations. If you’ve worked on automated tailings sampling, moisture control, or fine particle handling, I’d be especially interested in your insights. Thank you!

#Drill_Blast Mining Decisions vs Mining Efficiency. These two phrases define and differentiate teams. What do I want, and what is needed? Two very important phrases in mining. "What I want" is not economically appropriate, even if it is often technically acceptable. "What is needed" must have the optimal technical and economic answer in any decision that begins with it. Should a graduate engineer start with drill and blast engineering before operations （Load and Haul) to become a better mining operations manager? When you make daily decisions considering cost during your meetings, have you taken into account the opinion of the drill and blast section? When they make design changes to please or correct certain shortcomings, do they take into account the opinion of the drill and blast section? Any change related to the initial pit design must involve all stakeholders, primarily Geotech and Drill and Blast if it is the hard rock that requires blasting. Don't be one of those engineers who use software to draw nice diagrams and Excel files to calculate figures in attractive tables just to please the corporation with figures that have no scientific or technical basis in terms of safety, economics, and technology, of course. There are mines where drilling and blasting engineers are seen as defensive when it comes to making decisions they think are inappropriate, wasteful, or technically risky. Do what you think is right based on mathematical and scientific reasoning and make your suggestions even if you know you will be dismissed because you accepted this offer, so no matter how rough the seas are, you must continue to paddle to prevent the mine from sinking. It is better to come back and say that this individual was right than to have nothing to offer when it was needed. We know that often, under certain toxic management styles, priority is given to transported BCM and concern for its clean and economical extraction because the only goal is to present figures, but the reality is there in the way of drilling and blasting. Or often, ill-advised decisions are made to vibrate this area because the production team wants it, or because the bucket teeth require it, or because some people refuse to use the dozer ripper. We prefer to use consumables and drilling equipment at the expense of loading equipment, even though in a hard rock project, drilling equipment is more crucial. I'm not saying that loading and transport equipment isn't important, but when the KPIs for drilling and blasting are more crucial than the KPIs for transport and loading equipment （to be developed). A drill machine shutdown would result in a blast area shutdown, but a drill machine shutdown would not necessarily result in a shovel shutdown. Blasting can be done in advance of loading, but loading cannot be done in advance of blasting. Don't just think about drill and blast when the cost ratio of drilling and blasting is high, but before it is. A true Drill and Blast Engineer always maintain these plans over time in a safe and cost-effective manner that could affect the value chain. These decisions, which are made without involving the drilling and blasting engineers, should no longer be blamed on them, especially when the cost ratio becomes very significant, but the blame should be placed on those who made these costs. When the client's technical department is weak, it benefits contractors. To make this department strong, you need to maximize the questions: What is needed, not what I want. It ain't be mined if it isn't value.

Factors affecting the "Life of Mine" Generally, when we speak of mine life, the public assumes that the ore body is depleted and there is no more mining that can take place. The idea, while seemingly true, is somewhat flawed. Let me explain a little more in detail. 1) Geological factors: Deposit size and grade: Larger deposits and those with higher concentrations of valuable minerals are generally more viable and can operate for longer durations. Depth and accessibility: Deeply buried or difficult-to-reach deposits require more complex and expensive extraction methods, potentially impacting the mine's economic viability and lifespan. Geology of the orebody and surrounding rock: The stability and composition of the surrounding rock affect mining methods, safety, and operational costs. 2) Economic Factors: Metal prices: fluctuations in the price of the target minerals significantly impact profitability. Lower prices might force the mine to shut down sections with lower-grade ore, shortening the overall mine life. Operational costs: High costs associated with labor, equipment, energy, and waste disposal can decrease profit margins and potentially shorten the mine's life if they become unsustainable. Mining method: The chosen mining method (e.g., open-pit vs. underground) significantly affects operational costs, efficiency, and the amount of recoverable resources. 3) Other Important Considerations: Environmental regulations: Stringent environmental regulations can add costs associated with pollution control and reclamation, potentially impacting the mine's economic viability. Social factors: community acceptance and the presence of a skilled workforce near the mine are crucial for smooth operations and can influence the mine's long-term success. Unexpected events: geotechnical instability, accidents, or unforeseen technical challenges can disrupt operations and potentially shorten the mine's life. Overall there is a very strong correlation on the grade and economics. A mine, for instance, is said to have a life of 10 years. Mining copper at a grade of 0.5% with the copper price at $5000 per ton. If market conditions change and copper is now worth $10,000 per ton. If the mine has an equivalent volume of ore at half the grade (0.25%), this mine can now be said to have a new mine life of 20 years. Improved technology can allow for mining and processing even lower grades. The rate of mining, the size of equipment, and many other factors are involved. I hope this is a clearer understanding on the confusing aspect of mine life.
