Historically this page has been where open pit teams come for practical, plain-English tips and tricks. For just as long we have been asked the same question: when are you going underground?
The time is right. We are pleased to introduce Techtonic Mining Solutions — Underground.
Not a service line bolted onto the open pit team, but dedicated underground capability with the right people and resources behind it. Because underground is not open pit with a roof on it.
Treating it as an extension of the pit is how good operations end up short of high-grade stope tonnes to blend through the mill, and running an inefficient sequence they cannot easily recover from.
So: same company, new capability. Drill and blast, ground control, ventilation, backfill, planning, scheduling, and all the associated logistics that are boring right up until they are the reason the mine is not making money.
To make sure it is useful, one question. What is the underground process you have never seen properly explained?
