| Summary: | The expansion of mining activities around the world due to the increasing population and demand for metals are transforming mining methods. Mining is going deeper and deeper, and deposits of small thicknesses and large inclinations are becoming interesting for mining. Mining technology must be adapted to the conditions of each deposit. The NRE fleet is a unique, innovative, electric robotic solution for underground mining, aiming to increase safety and productivity while reducing capital and operating costs. The fleet is specifically designed for mining sub-horizontal PGE orebodies, but in the future, it can be used for mining other deposits. |
