Market trends & driving forces
Safety, health and live quality a strong driving force!
Deeper and remote location
Increasing share of underground mines in the future
Decrease in capital expenditure, cost and energy used
Environmental issues
Closure mines
Water and waste treatment
Energy efficiency
Emissions - Kyoto agreement
More regulations MINER Act 2006, EU

Underground Mine Challenges
Decreasing copper grade of the mineral and deeper mining
exploitation.
Harder Complex minerals, less joints and presence of
contaminants.
Mines are located in remote areas
Bigger transport distances for minerals
Intensive fuel energy used with high C02 emissions
Many real time information
Material movement is a huge burden - thus goals of more
primary separation as early in the process as possible
Harsh environment and risks inside the mine
Increasing demands in sustainable development, live quality
of workers, intensive bargaining with Communities and high
environment requirements.
