How can applied industrial mathematics and optimisation tools like digital twins be harnessed to improve mining operations? For this week's Intelligent Miner post, I went back to basics with the team at Australia based mathematics specialist, Polymathian. Dare I say it, they actually make maths exciting! The link is in my bio or head to www.theintelligentminer.com #mining #mathematics #optimisation #computing #data #datascience #polymathian #miningengineering #miningtechnology #miningequipment #theintelligentminer #modelling #simulation #appliedindustrialmathematics #STEM Image: Polymathian

It's that time again. Phoenix, I'm coming for you! #mining #theintelligentminer #phoenix #minexchange2020 #smartmining #travel #airplane #miningevents

If you enjoyed Holly Bridgwater's article for The Intelligent Miner on machine learning for mineral exploration, then you will love my feature on game changing techniques for undercover exploration programmes that's just gone live on Engineering & Mining Journal's website. The link is in my bio if you're on Insta or head to e-mj.com From machine learning techniques to hydrogeochemistry and SQUIDS (not the kind you're thinking of) it's all there. Enjoy! #mining #miningindustry #theintelligentminer #engineeringandminingjournal #miningjournalism #minerals #exploration #metals #geologist #geology #geochemistry #machinelearning #datascience

This week on The Intelligent Miner I interviewed JLT Mobile Computers' Christian Funk. We talked about computing techniques including cloud and edge, hardware development, and how trends such as mine automation are affecting the application of computers. We also talked about how we can roll out cutting edge technologies to less advanced mining jurisdictions. Have a read and let me know your thoughts.

“You don’t need to be an expert; you just need to ask the right questions” That’s one of the best pieces of advice I’ve been given in my career thus far, and one I’ve passed on to every other writer I’ve helped to train both in and outside of the mining industry. What makes a good journalist is their ability to find the right experts to talk about a given topic and ask them the right questions. That is what I am an expert in. I’ve worked in the mining industry for a long time and, while I have a good knowledge of most key extraction and recovery processes, plus the technologies and techniques that underpin them, I would never be arrogant enough consider myself a subject matter expert in any area. The very best part of my job is that I learn something new every day. I am happy to forever be a student and learn from the people I talk to. #mining #theintelligentminer #miningjournalism #journalists #writer #writing #miningindustry #learning #student Photo by the very talented @zoecphotography

Just going through some old pics and found this demo of a Cat excavator at their production facility in Dortmund, Germany. I can't wait to get on the road again next week! Anyone else heading to SME in Phoenix? #mining #miningindustry #travel #miningequipment #excavator #heavyduty #heavyequipmentlife #earthmover #caterpillar #germany #theintelligentminer

The production of content for a magazine is a bit like like an assembly line. People are often surprised when I tell them how many steps there are – the vast majority of readers never see what goes on behind the scenes. Once the editor receives text for the article (based on an interview or maybe its an article that has been contributed) they will edit it or work it into the feature they are writing. It then goes back to the contributor for fact checking and approval of quotes. Once approved, the article then goes to the magazine production team along with all the photos and pull quotes for layout. Here it goes through a sub editor who reads the text and picks up on any spelling and grammar mistakes. The text and photos are laid out on pages as they will appear in the magazine and this then goes back to the editor/editors for multiple rounds of proof reading and corrections. There are normally two or three rounds of proofs for each article before the final version is reached. Before the magazine goes to press the editor-in-chief will normally sit down with the production team and run through the full issue pdf to make sure all the adverts are present and correct and that all the pages are in the correct order. It’s pretty unusual for any mistakes to slip through such a tight net but on occasion they do happen. Web publishing is obviously a slightly different process. Got any questions? This shot was taken at the Hastings Deering facility in Brisbane a few years back.

Happy Friday everyone! Here's a nice pic of Caterpillar's prototype Rock Straight system. No reason other than I like it. This week I filed the best part of 15,000 words and so I'm off to drink some wine and sleep. In that order... 😴 #caterpillar #rockstraight #hardrock #mining #miningindustry #miningequipment #underground #undergroundmining #theintelligentminer #tgif #writing #writersofinstagram #mininglife
