Novel technologies for deep sustainable mining

该提案遵循申请人之前的发现补助金，旨在解决加拿大采矿业在未来深度采矿中面临的技术挑战。重点将继续放在创新、HQP的产生以及可持续发展的经济和社会意义上。为了使加拿大采矿业保持其全球竞争力，它需要不断创新和自动化。由主要矿业利益相关者举行的一些论坛得出的结论是，需要“未来矿山的改变游戏规则的技术”。本建议的重点是研究可持续深部采矿的自动化、连续采矿系统的基础，称为“钻孔和充填”采矿。该研究项目涉及以下三个综合和跨学科的重点研究重点：

This proposal follows the applicant’s previous Discovery Grant in aiming to address technical challenges that the Canadian mining industry is facing in future mining at depth. Emphasis will continue to be given to innovation, generation of HQP and the economic and social significance of sustainable development. In order for the Canadian mining industry to maintain its global competitiveness, it continuously needs to innovate and automate .The conclusion made by a number of forums, held by major mining stake holders was that there is a need for “game changer technologies for mines of the future”. This proposal focuses on research fundamental to the development of automated, continuous mining systems for sustainable deep mining, termed “Bore and Fill” mining. This research program addresses three integrated and interdisciplinary key research priorities, as follows:
