Exploring the development path of China's mining industry under the new normal

       Parameterizing production operations into reality, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of underground equipment, systems and personnel, and achieving the overall “optimization” of the mine.

    “The intelligent mining of mines is an inevitable trend. ” Zhang Da, deputy director of the Mining Engineering Research and Design Institute of the Beijing Research Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, said that the research on the intelligent mining technology of underground metal mines is in line with China's national conditions and the status quo of the mining industry, which is consistent with China's strategic needs in the field of resources and environment. Has been included in the Twelfth Five & lsquo; 863 Program & rsquo; development outline.

    In Zhang Da's view, intelligent mining has “six major advantages”. First, it can effectively improve the labor productivity of personnel equipment and the overall production efficiency of the mine. Intelligent mining can optimize the mining production process of underground metal mines from multiple layers, improve the development capability of China's mineral resources, alleviate the contradiction between supply and demand of mineral resources in China, and have a very positive significance for improving the security of mineral resources supply in China.

    Second, it can significantly improve the safety of mining production and resolve the dangers of the industry. Intelligent mining can effectively monitor the entire mining activity. The mining decision-making information is rich, clear and transparent. According to this, the decision is more accurate and reliable, and the safety accident is controlled to the lowest level. In addition, intelligent mining can significantly reduce on-site operators and even achieve unmanned mining, effectively reducing disaster risks. The implementation of intelligent mining is the most effective way to curb the frequent occurrence of mine accidents in China and promote the harmonious development of society.

    Third, it can greatly improve the utilization rate of mineral resources. In the intelligent mining mode, the loss of ore mining is most effectively controlled to achieve the minimum amount of waste rock, while at the same time it can maximize the ore recovery rate, thereby effectively reducing the discharge of mine solid waste. , greatly improve the utilization of mineral resources.

    The fourth is to promote clean production and sustainable development of mines. The intelligent mining mode can effectively monitor and prevent geological environmental disasters such as surface subsidence and soil erosion caused by mining, and effectively realize the resource utilization of waste materials such as tailings, and promote the clean production and sustainable development of mines.

    The fifth is to substantially increase the economic benefits of mining enterprises. Intelligent mining can improve mine production efficiency and reduce mining costs by improving the efficiency of mining equipment and intelligent monitoring of mining processes, thereby effectively improving mine mining efficiency and mining costs. Competitive ability.

    Sixth, through the key technologies of intelligent mining, the formation of intelligent mining technology and equipment with independent intellectual property rights, breaking through the monopoly of foreign technology, making domestic related technology research and development have international competitiveness, and promote China's transition from a mining power to a mining power.

    The outstanding features of mine intelligent mining technology are real-time and intelligent. Under the new normal, it will further promote the development of China's mineral resources to “efficient, safe, green and sustainable” and enhance the core competitiveness of China's mining industry.
