MN 362. Advanced Navigation Part 2: Unlocking Unprecedented Navigation in Extreme Environments

Advanced Navigation is redefining underground positioning with a breakthrough solution that combines a high-performance Inertial Navigation System (INS) with a Laser Velocity Sensor (LVS), delivering precise localization without relying on GPS, fixed infrastructure, pre-existing maps, or external aids. Tim and Ted discuss how the technology was successfully tested in Europe's deepest mine through the BHP Deep Mine Challenge, how it addresses historical INS drift limitations, and why mining companies across Australia, North America, and Latin America are increasingly demanding infrastructure-independent navigation solutions. 🔸 Learn More about Advanced Navigation: https://www.advancednavigation.com/mining/chimera-land/?utm_source=miningnow&utm_medium=crownsmen Media Partner 🔹 SME (Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration): https://www.smenet.org/?utm_source=Mining_NOW&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=brand&utm_content=join Studio Partner 🔹 Black & Veatch: https://www.bv.com/who-we-serve/fuels-and-natural-resources/mining-and-metals?utm_campaign=mining_metals_and_fertilizers-fnr-mining-noia-26-100322&utm_id=26-100322&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=podcast&utm_content=mining&utm_tactic=na&utm_term=brand-awareness_26-mining-now-podcast-qr-2 Voice of Industry Tour Partner 🔹 Savona Equipment: https://www.savonaequipment.com/?utm_source=Email+&utm_medium=Email+&utm_campaign=Email+&utm_id=Savona+Equipment Episode Sponsors 🔹 Glencore Technology: https://www.glencoretechnology.com/en/technologies?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=interview&utm_campaign=crownsmen 🔹 Eriez: https://www.eriez.com/mining?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=crownsmen&utm_id=111&utm_term=eriez+mining+minerals+processing&utm_content=eriez+crownsmen 🔹 SME (Society for Mining, Metallurgy & Exploration): https://www.smenet.org/?utm_source=Mining_NOW&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=brand&utm_content=join 🔹 Orica Digital Solutions – Axis Mining Technology: https://axisminetech.com/ 🔹 Metso: https://www.metso.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=paid-social&utm_campaign=2026_NCA_Podcasts&utm_content=crownsmen-ad1 🔹 Australian Diversified Engineering (ADE): https://www.ade.net.au/

CS 68. Kenco Engineering Part 3: The Slat Conveyor Solution Saving Asphalt Plants Thousands

Worn slat conveyor floors, material buildup, frequent maintenance, and unexpected downtime can cost operations thousands of dollars in lost productivity and replacement expenses. In this episode of The Construction Show, host Rory Bamford sits down with Brian Handshoe, President of Kenco Engineering, and Randall Barrington, Asphalt Specialist at Kenco Engineering, to discuss how engineered wear solutions are helping asphalt producers improve safety, extend equipment life, reduce maintenance requirements, and lower operating costs. The conversation highlights Kenco Engineering's Slat Conveyor Floor system, designed to withstand extreme abrasion while simplifying maintenance and reducing downtime. The team also shares real-world examples of how relatively small investments in wear protection can deliver significant long-term value, improve operational efficiency, and support sustainability initiatives by reducing replacement cycles and material waste.

MN 361. South32 Hermosa & University of Arizona: Hermosa Project, FAST-41, Workforce Development

The future of critical minerals in the United States is being reshaped in southern Arizona. In this episode of Mining NOW, host Jerrod Downey explores the collaboration between South32 and the University of Arizona through the development of the Hermosa Project—one of the most advanced underground mining operations currently under construction in North America. At 50% completion, the Hermosa Project is designed to deliver five critical minerals including zinc, manganese, silver, lead, and copper, while setting a new global benchmark for sustainable mining. The operation is built around automation, electrification, renewable energy integration, and a significantly reduced environmental footprint. A key focus is also workforce development, with a goal of 80% local employment and long-term upskilling for communities new to modern mining.
