MN 359. Institute of Mine Seismology: Seismic Monitoring, Geophysical Services & Mining Safety Systems

Mining is becoming deeper, more complex, and more dangerous—but the biggest risks often come from what you can’t see. Seismic activity, underground stress changes, and tailings dam instability can develop silently until they trigger costly or catastrophic failures. Traditional point-based monitoring systems often miss the full underground picture. In this episode, experts from the Institute of Mine Seismology (IMS) break down how modern geophysical solutions are transforming mining safety. Geophysicist Miro Doring and Seismologist Frank Calixto explain how IMS technologies go beyond conventional monitoring by delivering continuous, real-time insight into subsurface behavior. 🔸 Learn More about Institute of Mine Seismology: https://www.imseismology.org/?utm_source=Linkedin&utm_medium=Views&utm_campaign=Social+media Mining NOW Partner 🔹 @CIM-ICM : https://bit.ly/49DvtlG Voice of Industry Tour Partner 🔹 @orica Digital Solutions - Integrated Extraction Simulator (IES): https://www.orica.com/Products-Services/Digital-Solutions/integrated-extraction-simulator Episode Sponsors 🔹 @prok-conveyorequipment : http://www.prok.com/?utm_source=Crownsmen+Partners&utm_medium=Episode&utm_campaign=One+Click+Conversion 🔹 @SMESocietyForMining (SME): https://www.smenet.org/?utm_source=Mining_NOW&utm_medium=Podcast&utm_campaign=brand&utm_content=join 🔹 @MetsoOfficial : https://www.metso.com/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=paid-social&utm_campaign=2026_NCA_Podcasts&utm_content=crownsmen-ad1 🔹 @acurenNDT : https://www.acuren.com?utm_source=Crownsmen+Partners&utm_medium=Episode&utm_campaign=One+Click+Conversion 🔹 @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 🔹 @GlencoreTechnology : https://www.glencoretechnology.com/en/technologies?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=interview&utm_campaign=crownsmen

MN 357. Inertial Sensing Part 2: Why Blastholes Fail in Mining & How BlastGyro Solves It

Mining operations lose millions every year due to one hidden issue: blastholes are rarely drilled straight. This leads to poor blast performance, excessive ore dilution, reduced efficiency, and ultimately lower profitability. At PDAC, Mining NOW host Jerrod Downey sits down with Duncan McLeod, CEO of Inertial Sensing, to break down why this long-standing problem has been overlooked for so long—and why it’s now becoming impossible to ignore.🔸 Learn More about BlastGyro: www.blastgyro.com
