Learning Systems: Mining Technologies

Find the Right Vein

THE RICHES OF OUR PLANET are often buried in the depths, beneath our feet. For generations, we have been digging into the ground to extract the minerals and raw materials we need.
Today, just like yesterday, this exploitation remains just as essential.
In the 21st century, the mining industry is still at the forefront of technological advances. Nowadays, new equipment, new techniques, and technologies are setting new milestones in terms of safety, efficiency, and productivity.
Modern mines are filled with fully automated computer control systems, with hydraulic, electrical, and diesel engine controls, and all kinds of strange machines, sometimes of gigantic size. Technologies such as laser and robotics have also quickly established themselves in this sector of activity.

A MINING PROJECT must always be carefully planned, implemented, and managed. All parameters must be taken into account, from the geology of the site to the safety of the workers. Nowadays, highly skilled employees and executives are needed to fill the numerous key positions that can ensure the success of a mining operation. Those who choose this field of activity must receive good training in all the disciplines essential to the miners of tomorrow. The future of this industrial sector will depend on the training of new engineers fully familiar with industrial methods, both new and old, capable of handling often complex equipment and who can contribute to its development with their own innovations.
