Challenging the Orthodoxy of Traditional InSAR Ground Motion Surveys

Over the last 20 years or so, Interferometric SAR (InSAR) has become an established method for measuring land motion from satellites and, since the advent of free data from remote sensing missions such as Sentinel-1, can be a very cost-effective way to support civil engineering and infrastructure asset management projects. However, there is a serious downside in that most current techniques, such as PSInSAR and SBAS, are very poor at monitoring motion over rural landcover, such as soils and vegetated surfaces. In this presentation, Dr Andy Sowter from Terra Motion Limited will describe the current capability of satellite InSAR and, using case studies from the mining industry, show how he and his colleagues have seriously challenged the preconceptions of InSAR experts everywhere, opening up new and exciting opportunities for ubiquitous and remote ground motion monitoring at all latitudes and in all terrains.

Using Science to Maximize Sorting Efficiency
2021-04-14 17:00 - 18:00 UTC
Recent implementations of sensor-based sorting have shown major positive impacts on mining economics. Maximizing sorting efficiency requires two linked pieces of information: particle size and particle grade. In addition to reducing downstream processing, particle sorting improves throughput of viable ore. In general, the coarser the size fraction, the easier the sorting and the greater the economic rewards. Intimately linked to particle size is target mineral grade. Successful upgrading relies on understanding the relationship between target mineral grade and size fraction for each phase of the deposit; information that is critical for designing sorting parameters and algorithms. In this webinar, experts from SRC’s Mining and Energy Division will show how an industry-unique combination of QEMSCAN® and computed-tomography (CT) scanning technologies can help determine the critical size-grade relationship of the ore and assist in identifying the ideal size fraction(s) to sort. This newly developed toolset is applicable to all major deposit types and size ranges.

Lecture: Scotgold Resources Ltd.'s Cononish Gold & Silver Mine
2021-04-08 18:00 - 20:00 UTC
On the 8th of April, MinSouth will be hosting a lecture presented by ScotGold Resources Ltd to discuss its Cononish Gold and Silver Mine. The presentation will be by Richard Gray
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR – WITH EFFECT FROM 01 APRIL 2021 Mr Richard Gray has extensive international experience, in both underground and open pit mine operations, and brings considerable operational knowledge and management experience and skills to the Company, particularly in the development and implementation of gold mining projects. He has previously held various roles at both majors and juniors within the gold mining sector and his successful career has included 15 years working in South Africa for Gencor Ltd and 14 years in West Africa for Golden Star Resources Ltd and Avocet Mining. He holds a BSc (Hons) Mining Engineering from the Royal School of Mines, Imperial College and an MBA from the Graduate School of Business, Cape Town University.

This mine is in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park near Tyndrum.
We last heard from ScotGold in 2014 Since that time, ScotGold has started mining and had its first gold pour in 2020 on the 30th of November. It will be interesting to hear the paths they followed to reach this point and the paths being planned to follow in the future.
Gold was discovered at Cononish in the 1980s. Diamond drilling campaigns were followed by a 900m long exploration adit between 1989 and 1991. Mineral resource delineation continued from that point. Planning approval was granted by the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park in 2018 on October 19th, Work commenced later that year on December 18th.
There are estimated reserves of 550 000t with a grade of 11.8 g Au/t. The average annual production over the nine year mine life is 23 370 oz. 63 employees will be working at this mine while it is in production.

More information about the Cononish Gold and Silver Mine can be found by clicking on the Scotgold logo above.

Implementation of Autonomous Systems in Mining Guideline V2 – Health and Safety, Regulations, and Workforce Community and Social Impact Workshop 1
2021-04-07 08:00 (America/New_York) | Virtually
About the project:
The first version of the Guideline for the Implementation of Autonomous Systems in Mining is being used within the industry as a playbook for effective autonomous systems implementation, as a way to understand customer needs, and as an educational, communications, and operational tool. Version 2 will offer updated guidance and considerations on justifying, planning, developing, testing, implementing, and executing autonomous systems.
About the workshop:
Workshop participants will review and revise three sections: Health and Safety, Regulations, and Workforce Community and Social Impact, which focus on meeting new health and safety requirements particularly as they relate to autonomous system implementation and the social impact of autonomy in the community.

Health and Safety: This section currently includes content on risk management and emergency response. A key focus of this workshop will be considering differentiating elements for autonomous systems, especially around the more generic risk management content.
Regulations: This section currently includes guidance on engaging regulators. It requires review to make sure it is globally applicable.
Workforce, Community, and Social Impact: This section includes information on the evolving workforce requirements, communications strategy, social and economic impact assessment, and education and skills migration. It primarily requires review to make sure it is up to date.

Mineral Characterization for Optimum Sensor-Based Sorting
2021-03-16 16:00 - 17:00 UTC | Virtually
Installations of both bulk and particle sensor-based sorting (SBS) in the mining industry have increased significantly recently. However, SBS still lacks industry recognition as a pre-concentration technology. In addition to mineralogical characterization, different sensors and their performance parameters are key to understanding orebody heterogeneity characteristics exploited by SBS. Current SBS testwork is often hit-or-miss—or worse, amenability is assessed only by desktop study using default parameters from “similar ores.” This gap in standardized methodology for SBS characterization is often linked to its unsuccessful or sub-optimum adoption of the technology. In this webinar on sensor-based sorting, experts from SRC and Unearthed Consulting will cover the mineral and sensor characterization required for successfully adopting sensor-based sorting. You’ll learn about sensor-based technologies and their mineral applications, such as XRT, laser, infrared, induction and colour sorters.

Young Person's Lecture Competition 2021
2021-03-11 18:00 - 20:00 UTC
The annual MinSouth heat of the Young Person’s Lecture Competition (YPLC) will be held on Thursday, the 11th of March beginning at 6:00 pm.
Two students from Imperial College (ICL) and three from Exeter University (CSM) will give 15-minute presentations on topics they have chosen and which are relevant to the materials and mining industries.
The abstracts of each of the presentations:
Alex Lipp – All the world in a grain of sand? Geochemical surveying by unmixing of large-river sediments.
Geochemical surveying provides information essential to mineral exploration and environmental baseline monitoring. However, dense spatial surveying is costly, slow and logistically challenging. Novel methods which can produce geochemical maps but minimise these downsides are therefore highly desirable. Typically, geochemical surveys sample stream-sediments from small river catchments across the target region. Here, I will describe how we can instead use smaller numbers of samples extracted from large rivers to reconstruct the geochemistry of the source region. This novel approach ‘un-mixes’ the geochemistry of downstream sediment samples using an inverse method to produce a geochemical map of the source-region. This approach is demonstrated with a case-study from the Cairngorms, UK: using just 67 downstream samples we are able to produce geochemical maps that compare favourably with independently gathered geochemical-survey maps produced with more than 100 times as many samples. This novel method could therefore reduce the logistical, temporal and financial cost of geochemical mapping.
Finlay Goodwin – The Tin Bearing Pegmatites of Uis, Namibia
The area of Uis is situated within the Erongo region of Namibia. The area comprises the margins of several granite plutons, likely to represent the upper, fluid-saturated cupola of intrusions that themselves contain zones of intense tourmalinisation and pegmatite formation. These granite-hosted pegmatites do not contain tin mineralisation. By contrast, the exogranitic pegmatites in the Uis pegmatite belt are pervasively stanniferous and CGM-bearing, and are believed to be metamorphogenic in origin, related to the late stages of the Damaran orogenesis – accordingly they are likely to be genetically unrelated to the adjacent granite intrusion. Characterisation of the contrasting mineralised and unmineralised pegmatites is considered to be important for any future assessment of the prospectivity of the region. In this presentation, an alternative hypothesis is put forward, presenting evidence that the Uis pegmatite swarms may have evolved along a single liquid line of descent from a granitic parent magma.
Alexander Moss – Exploration for LCT Pegmatites in Leinster, Ireland
Lithium bearing pegmatites were first discovered along the eastern margin of the Leinster Granite, Ireland in the 1980’s. At the time it was noted “if only we have had a use for lithium”, now, 40 years on, societal demand for lithium is set to increase due to the rise in interest in EVs and the green agenda. Following this increase in interest in lithium, prospecting for lithium in the area was renewed. Modern mineral exploration techniques were deployed, including geostatistics, to build a model of lithium prospectivity for the region. The known occurrences of lithium mineralisation were used to train a fuzzy logic model of lithium prospectivity along the eastern margin of the Leinster Granite, before extending its utility to northern portions of the Leinster Granite. This study presents the geostatistical methods utilised, including potential issues with the technique and ideas for future work and improvements to
the model.

CIM Calgary Webinar - The Mount Polley Tailings Spill: Response & Recovery
2021-03-10 19:15 - 20:15 UTC | Virtually
Join Lyn Anglin from Anglin and Associates to hear about the recovery from the tailings dam at the Mount Polley Mine 6 years later

About this Event

Six years after a glaciolacustrine layer under the tailings dam at the Mount Polley Mine failed, and 25 million cubic metres of water, tailings and embankment materials spilled into the surrounding environment, significant progress has been made in remediating the spill impacts. The company has invested on the order of $70 million on clean-up and repair. Human health and environmental impact and risk assessments, monitoring studies, and extensive remediation of impacted areas have been completed. Risk assessments indicate human health risks from the spill are low, while environmental impacts are low to moderate, with impacts primarily related to the homogeneous grain-size and low-organic content of the spilled tailings. The remediation response has therefore been focused on physical aspects of the spill. Ongoing monitoring indicates that impacted ecosystems continue showing positive signs of recovery. Communications with stakeholders and First Nations were maintained through regular community meetings, community newsletters, and site tours with regulators, First Nations, community representatives, and members of the local public.

Sensors:
Gordon Stove of Adrok will give a talk on Low-carbon, Low-cost, Low-risk, High value-adding Technology for Mineral Exploration;
Finding subsurface natural resources is getting harder, not easier. Explorers are having to look deeper under cover to find new resources and reserves. Coupled with the technical challenges, safeguarding our environment and natural beauty is also critical to the Explorer. Adrok has developed a deep ranging radio wave system that can pinpoint natural resources in an environmentally friendly and sensitive way. Surveys are low-carbon affairs and do not destruct the subsurface. Adrok’s goal is to make the world a better place by better understanding what lies beneath the earth surface. We aim to help our clients increase their exploration success
Andrew Bamber of Bara Consulting will be talking about Modifying your Modifying Factors with the use of Sensors
Sensors come in many forms and can be used for many things, but possibly the best use of sensors is for the discovery, definition, and characterization of orebodies both before and during mining activity. This talk will review several types of sensor plus examples of use in each of these roles, and present some case study examples of where either significant dilution or loss was avoided through the application of sensor technology.
