Some Challenges in Mining
Safety and working conditions
Mining often requires working in locations with elevated risk levels
Mineral resource grades are declining
More waste, existing mining technologies and methods becoming less efficient
Mines in more and more remote locations
Difficult to get skilled labor
Lack of accurate mining process management information
Daily decision making based on old reports and inaccurate data
Low utilization rate for mining equipment
