MINING EXLORATION RIGS FROM GEOMACHINEThe Geomachine Oy has been building the mining exploration rigs in the artic conditions already over two decades. The rigs are made for mapping, inventory and exploration coring in the demanding terrain. Geomachine rigs are designed to deliver the first coring results of the potential mineral resources fast, effective and without heavy investments. The rigs are easy to use, light weight, very mobile, highly versatile and safe in operations. The coring sizes are up to NQ – HQ in both surface and underground drilling and coring.

The rigs are entirely by Geomachine own design including crawler, mast and drilling table. Rotation head can by Geomachine own design or by other qualified marks. The rigs can be also adapted for the geotechnical investigation drilling and there is double drilling table solution as an option. In 30 years, the Geomachine rigs have been delivered over ten countries, mostly to Scandinavia, Baltic and Russia. Rigs are CE certified, completely radio controlled, sizes from 6 to 10 ton.

IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY IN MININGToday all metal mines are suffering of the low prices, and are trying to improve and cut costs. Why are all the mines in this situation? McKinsey industry analysis report (Sept 2015) says that during the time of high metal prices mines have lost their productivity on industry average of 3.5%/annum for last 10years. Everybody agrees that it is the time for quick productivity improvements.

“As the industry outlook has deteriorated, most mining companies have shelved or trimmed expansion plans and refocused on doing more with less...But there remains significant untapped potential for productivity improvement,” says MacKinsey, and continues,

“Smart planning and coordination of activities are required to mitigate variability caused by external forces; disciplined execution is needed to eliminate variability that miners create themselves.”

This is exactly where IMA company comes with innovative digital technology solutions and tools.

More accurate Grade control. Dilution in most cases unnecessarily increases energy and chemical costs by 10% or more depending on rock hardness. IMA offers automated Sampler-Analyzers on drill rigs to avoid and to reduce waste rock dilution, and at the same time reducing manpower and improving safety in the Pit.

Avoiding and reducing ore grade variability in mill feed by smart on-line analysis and Loading Control. Ore grade variability in the mill feed means higher energy and chemical consumption in flotation, and even bigger losses when waste is loaded into the crusher.

Global Ecoprocess Services

BUSINESS SUMMARY: Global Ecoprocess Services develops, patents and licenses methods for treatment of environmentally harmful waste water containing soluble metals. Major identified currently ongoing pilot applications are treatment of mining and industrial process waters. The EPSE technology extracts harmful metals into an inert solid insoluble precipitate with significantly lower operational and storage costs. The environmentally harmless precipitate can be used for various industrial applications as raw material, e.g. as construction material. The EPSE technology has been successfully tested and verified by accredited laboratories and industrial pilot tests in Finland and has been estimated to be able to achieve potential annual savings of up to €1M by most conservative calculations for any currently operating mine with identified waste water problems.

COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE: The EPSE method extracts in a cost efficient way soluble metals into an environmentally harmless insoluble solid inert precipitate. Initial promising tests are done to recycle metals from the precipitate.

TARGET MARKET AND BUSINESS POTENTIAL: The spearhead application is treatment of AMD (Acid Mine Drainage), applications for industrial processes are under development. The total market for waste water treatment is estimated to + €400 billions per year, the EPSE method specific market potential is estimated to be €5 billion annually.
