    RDE Home  /  Applications  /  Underground Mining


    Mining is a dynamic and a fast paced industry with new ideas and methods constantly evolving. All metal prices are decreasing in a long term perspective and this puts a hard cost reduction pressure on most mines. A characteristic of this industry is the willingness to exchange new technologies and experiences. Every deposit of mineral is unique in regard to geology, grade, shape (etc).
    Our descriptions of mining methods are generalised and focus on typical applications.
