  • Abstract
    The introduction of intelligent systems to the underground mining of nickel, copper, cobalt and precious metals can provide significant improvement in the performance of a mine when compared with conventional mining techniques. This paper presents the concepts of Telemining in an actual case study showing how the systems work and the competitive advantage they provide for Inco´s underground metal mining operations today and into the future
