A Development Study of the Latest Technology Used in Mining and Related Industries ; A Japan-Canada Cooperative Project

1991年，该合作组织由一些按专业分组的小型研究机构组成。每个小组的成员都计划了参观矿山和合作研究，并准备了总体组织。该计划最初是通过交流信息和秋田大学和女王大学的代表来解决采矿工程中的问题。加拿大项目成员于1992年访问了秋田大学、日本矿山和矿业研究与研究所，并举行了会议，讨论：a)加拿大矿业的现状，b)矿业目前存在的问题，c)如何研究未来的技术发展。研究人员还在秋田大学合作的基础上研究和进行了个人专业领域的实验。主要议题为：a)矿山挖掘周围的应力分析，b)矿山使用的精密仪器的开发，c)采矿机械的自动化，d)防止加工过程中的环境污染，d)矿山充填的稳定性，f)大型挖方的设计，g)海洋矿产资源的开采和运输。日本项目成员访问了女王大学和加拿大矿物与能源技术中心(CANMET)，并出席了1993年在女王大学举行的题为“采矿进入21世纪”的国际矿山设计大会，以介绍他们在这一发展研究中的成果。研究人员在个人专业化领域进行了研究和实验，以推广女王大学的最新采矿技术。

The co-operative organization consisted of some small research reams grouped according to speciality in 1991. The members in each team planed both the visits to the mines and co-operative research and prepared the overall organization. The program started in addressing problems in Mining Engineering through exchanges of information and representatives of Akita University and Queen's University.Canadian project members visited Akita University, Japanese Mines, and Institute for Mining Research & Studies in 1992,and conferences were held to discuss :a) the present condition of the Canadian mining industries,b) an analysis of current problems in the mining industries,c) how technical development should be studied for the future.The researchers also studied and performed experiments in the areas of individual specialization on a co-operative basis at Akita University. The main subjects were :a) stress analysis around mine excavation,b) development of precision instruments for use in mines,c) robotization of mining machines,d) prevention of environmental pollution during processing,d) stability of mine backfill,f) design of large excavations,g) mining and transportation of marine mineral resources.Japanese project members visited both Queen's University and CANMET (Canada Centre for Mineral and Energy Technology), and attended the International Congress on Mine Design "Mining into the 21st Century" at Queen's University to present their findings of this developmental study in 1993. The researchers studied and performed experiments in the areas of individual specialization to promote the latest mining technology at Queen's University.
