A new opening to save time and money
Before production gets underway in an underground mine, the technology has to be chosen for creating the opening raise for production blasting. The opening hole is the limiting factor, especially in large scale mining methods, and large diameter opening holes also open opportunities for mine planners to save time and money.

Enabling Automation
Automated drilling in surface mining is here. It’s successful, and it’s at work around the world. Coal, copper, iron and gold mines in large mining countries such as Australia, South Africa, Canada, the U.S. and Chile are meeting objectives previously ruled out as unattainable. Automation on the Pit Viper drill enables operators to accomplish more goals safely, and operator-assist functions such as AutoLevel, AutoDrill, Auto Rod Changer, and multi-rig teleremote control, are just a few of the features being used to gain consistent, sustainable productivity, shift after shift. Here, M&C highlights the value that Pit Viper automation is bringing to mines across the globe.
