This research program to address and apply some of the innovative technologies that is needed for mine of the future. For Canada to maintain its global competitiveness, mining industry continuously needs to innovate and automate in an environment of high risk. To achieve this major international mining companies in the past several years have assembled international experts from Industry, academia (applicant was invited in some) and government in forums in Europe, Brazil, and Sudbury to discuss potential game changer technologies and techniques needed for the mine of the future for both deep underground and surface mines. The conclusion in general is that the automated and continuous mining operations and new mining techniques require a long-term investment in technology, talented Highly Qualified Personnel to develop, operate, maintain, and manage safe, competitive and sustainable mining operations. The fact that fewer world class mineral deposits are being found requires advances in mining and exploration technologies that will enable deeper sustainable mining excavations. The most severe challenges to safe and competitive mining, however, relate to high rockmass stresses, energy constraints, ventilation, and refrigeration, as well as increased environmental requirements. The proposed research program follows the applicant's prior Discovery grant focus on sustainable deep mining technologies. It aims to contribute and address technical challenges that the Canadian mining industry is facing in future mining operations that will need to extend to depths beyond current norms. Emphasis will continue to be given to innovation, generation of HQP and the economic and social significance of sustainable development of the Canadian mining industry. Four research priorities will be extended further and will be develop and apply in the proposed research program through an integrated, interdisciplinary approach, as follows: 1-Rock pre-conditioning for optimizing mechanical breakage of strong rocks; 2-Mine backfill technology 3-Application of renewable energy in mining operations. 4-Drill bit wear monitoring and failure prediction To guarantee the success of the proposed research program, research activities should be conducted in parallel in accordance with the four research themes/ priorities mentioned above. Accordingly, the same format is followed throughout the present proposal.

该研究计划旨在解决和应用未来所需的一些创新技术。为了使加拿大保持其全球竞争力，采矿业不断需要在高风险环境中进行创新和自动化。在过去的几年中，为了实现这一主要国际矿业公司，已经组建了来自行业的国际专家，学术界（某些人邀请了申请人）和政府在欧洲，巴西和萨德伯里的论坛上讨论所需的潜在游戏改变者技术和技术。深层地雷和地面地雷的未来。总体上的结论是，自动化和连续的采矿业务和新的采矿技术需要对技术进行长期投资，才华横溢的高素质人员来开发，运营，维护和管理安全，竞争和可持续的采矿业务。发现世界一流的矿物质矿藏较少的事实需要在采矿和勘探技术方面取得进步，这将使更深入的可持续开采发掘。然而，对安全和竞争性采矿的最严重挑战涉及高岩石压力，能量限制，通风和制冷以及增加的环境要求。拟议的研究计划遵循申请人先前的发现赠款，重点是可持续深层采矿技术。它的目的是在未来的采矿业务中构成和应对加拿大采矿业所面临的技术挑战，这将需要扩展到超出当前规范之外的深度。将继续强调加拿大矿业行业可持续发展的创新，HQP的产生以及经济和社会意义。将进一步扩大四个研究优先级，并通过综合的跨学科方法在拟议的研究计划中开发和应用，如下：1岩石预处理以优化强岩的机械破裂； 2-Mine回填技术在采矿作业中对可再生能源的3批准。 4-钻头磨损监测和未预测，以确保拟议的研究计划的成功，应根据上述四个研究主题/优先级并行进行研究活动。因此，在整个建议中，遵循相同的格式。
