From face to surface - A fragmentation study
Vinnova, LKAB and Boliden 2013-2016
The project Face to Surface will build knowledge of the impact from fragmentation on each step of the production chain in both underground and surface mining operations. It will minimize mining costs by optimizing the step wise fragmentation through the process taking into account fragmentation based process disturbances and costs. It will, based on in-situ rock mass characteristics, predict an optimal procedure trough the production chain to minimize both costs and the total energy consumption. This by enabling responsive control of the entire process rather than optimizing isolated components.
