In the early 1900s, drilling was revolutionized by the introduction of lightweight rock drills. Up until that time, the drills used for shaft sinking were still large and heavy and required some type of support to be used efficiently.
Over the past few decades, drilling technology has rapidly evolved, with several innovative solutions emerging in recent years to address key challenges in the mining industry. This article will explore some of the …

The example is excellent for investigating in detail the geometry, fault scaling relationships, kinematics and evolution of such a system. The strip mining and the large drilling and mining database at Hail Creek provide detailed information about the geometry and displacements of the faults, giving insights into the evolution of the fault system.

A mine geologist is appointed as a diamond drill coordinator to organise and manage diamond drilling at a scheduling and operational level ...
Interface engineering of electrocatalysts is a promising strategy to modulate their corresponding physicochemical properties. Compared with sulfides and selenides, the studies related to the interface engineering of the transition metal tellurides for oxygen evolution reaction (OER) remain scarce, regardless of their higher electrical conductivity and mass transport rate.
The phased uplift process of the Tibetan Plateau in the late Cenozoic and its impacts on the environment have been well researched (Li et al., 2001, Li et al., 2014, Li et al., 2015), and the development of the Chinese Loess Plateau and the evolution of the East Asian monsoon are also well studied (Liu et al., 2000, An et al., 2001).
