Turbodrill (turbine down hole motor) has been recently proposed by the authors as the preferred drive mechanism with high rotation speed for hard rocks drilling for deep mineral exploration applications. Turbodrill is a type of hydraulic axial turbom

Coiled tubing (CT) drilling offers more efficient drilling operations compared to normal drilling practises resulting in lower operational costs and drilling time in oil and gas operations. This technology is recommended to be used for mineral explor

Post-blast nitrogen oxide fumes (NOx) from surface blasting activities have become an important operational issue in Australian Coal mines. Post-blast fumes are a direct product of the detonation process which can be easily identified as the resultan

A better understanding of the detonation performance of an explosive charge can be gained by directly measuring pressure, temperature and velocity of detonation (VOD). This is particularly important with explosives used in the mining industry because

The derivation and application of a self-optimizing control system for percussive drilling of hard rock is presented. The control system superimposes an oscillating force signal onto the drill feed force and demodulates the signal from the drill rota

The efficiency of numerous mineral processing operations can be determined by measuring the magnetic properties of the process streams. This measurement, if done at all, is currently performed by laboratory testing of spot samples. This is an inheren

Magnetic separation is widely used in the processing of titanium minerals. The expected mineral recoveries are assessed by performing laboratory magnetic separations of representative samples to determine the distribution of magnetic components. This

The authors have recently proposed Coiled Tube Turbodrilling technology for drilling deep hard rocks mineral exploration. Coiled Tube (CT) is a continuous length of ductile steel or composite tube that itself cannot rotate and therefore a down hole m

Coil tubing (CT) technology has been in use in the oil and gas industry since the 1990s. Since then, the applications of CT have expanded rapidly. Coiled tube drilling can offer more efficient and faster drilling operations resulting in lower operati

Drilling deep boreholes for exploration of some mineral deposits are becoming more popular in many areas. This is while drilling very deep wells is very common in oil and gas industry with the objective of production from hydrocarbon reservoirs. Ther
