In October of 2016, Mine Ventilation Services (MVS)—which recently merged with SRK’s US practice—performed a ventilation survey for a large-opening room and pillar mine. MVS discovered that the mine had many areas with low airflow velocity causing dust to be suspended and built up. The 50-year- Read more... about Ventilation Study Focuses Efforts in Right Direction

There is agreement within the engineering community that climate change is occurring, and there is a responsibility to integrate climate change into engineering design. However, there are few best practices and no common standards of practice that provide a prescribed and/or consistent process Read more... about Climate Change for the Engineer: Standardized Procedure for Climate Change Integration into Engineering Design

This paper reflects on the author’s experience working in site based technical and management roles over a 29 year period, and the past 12 years in internal and external consulting roles. It discusses the author’s experiences and observations of operations management and the significant value of Read more... about Staying in the game – the importance of engineering based decisions

This presentation covers an analysis of the modifying factors, which according to the SAMREC code, are defined to include the following:

• Mining (geotech, water, mining cost, mining recovery, dilution)
• Metallurgical (process cost and recovery)
• Economic (
