How to Get the Fragmentation you Want

A recent survey of quarry companies attending Quarry Academy found that a whopping 60% of quarries feel their muck pile fragmentation could be better. Only 2% felt the quality of their muck pile fragmentation was excellent.

Making Depleted Deposits Profitable by Increasing Extraction Efficiency

Better extraction methods create better yields. As ore deposits become increasingly depleted and of lower quality, mines must become more efficient at accessing the remaining ore in order to maintain profitability while keeping commodity costs low enough to feed demand.
