There were&nbsp;a few virtual\nunderground mine tours&nbsp;to see real-life operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of cases discussed triggered many questions including: digitalisation and automated planning at Beskempir and Akbakai mines operated by Altynalmas in Kazakhstan (discussed in a presentation by Altynalmas and Sight Power Inc); ventilation on demand at Kiruna mine by LKAB (presentation by EOL Vent and LKAB); autonomous trucks operation at Gabriella Mistral mine by Codelco (presentation by SRK Chile and Komatsu). These Q&amp;A sessions are extremely valuable. They give the Russian and Kazakhstan miners based in the remote areas of Magadan, Siberia, Norilsk, Krasnoyarsk, Karaganda and other regions a unique opportunity to ask questions directly to their colleagues from SRK, Epiroc, Codelco, LKAB, Sandvik, Redco, BHP and other companies located all over the world.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The organisers would like to thank all participants and presenters for supporting the event and wish them be healthy and safe during these difficult times.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The online conference on\u00a0automation\u00a0of underground mining,\u00a0IT\u00a0solutions\u00a0implementation\u00a0and digitalization of\u00a0mining operations in Kazakhstan, Scandinavian countries and Chile\u00a0was held via Zoom\u00a0on 9th and 10th\u00a0December.\u00a0More than a hundred\u00a0technical directors,\u00a0heads of automation, chief engineers\u00a0and directors of production at leading\u00a0mining companies from Russia and Kazakhstan\u00a0attended\u00a0this webinar.
