The Biggest Thing to Happen to Gold Mining Since the Shovel!


Cutting mining cost by 50% or more!

Thermal Fragmenting for mining industry 
is the same as what Fracking did for the oil industry!



The Thermal Fragmentation Mining Method

An extraction process with multiple benefits that solves the challenges of today

The extraction process allows thermal fragmentation with an accuracy of 2 cm to quickly extract any type of hard rock up to 110 cm wide. With such precision, high grade precious and base metal veins can now be extracted without dilution. The thermal unit can be set up to extract a specific corridor. The major advantages of this process:

Reduced dilution

The extraction process produces highly concentrated ore which results in 400% to 500% less dilution compared to shrinkage mining methods. There is no wall damage caused by blast vibrations.

Significant cost savings


Since less rock is extracted, important savings are realised throughout the entire chain of production. The compact size of the ore (0 - 13 mm) and concentration of the material brought to the processing plant increases the production capacity of existing installations and output of ounces.

Completely mechanised


Thermal fragmentation mining process requires a 3 person team. The thermal unit is fully mechanised reducing the risk of physical injury traditionally observed in labour intensive shrinkage mining methods.

Lessens the impact on the environment


Since less waste rock is extracted and development is performed directly into ore, the process produces significantly less mining waste (1:5). Therefore, fewer chemical products per ounce mined are needed and fewer alterations are made to the terrain (smaller tailings and waste piles)

Other important impacts

  • Extends mine life
    Resources converted to Reserves
    Strengthens Sustainability & Project Acceptence
    Mining permits obtained faster and easier
    Low Cost slot raise
    Cost effective bulk sampling


Process

  1. Series of 6 inch (15-cm) pilot holes drilled into the vein with conventional drill
    Thermal Fragmentation (thermal head, compressed air and water) is inserted and spalls the rock, quickly increasing the diameter of the hole to 30 - 110 cm
    Extraction of ore in 0 - 13 mm fragments
    Break leftover rock between fragmented holes to recover remaining ore

Each work site is organised within two superimposed drift levels, approximately 20 meters apart. By drifting directly into the ore, we minimise mining waste and development costs. Through the use of soft explosive charges, the hanging wall and footwall are left intact and only the mineralised corridor itself is extracted.

Additional applications of thermal fragmentation

We replace and / or improve these extractions methods:

  • Room and pillar method (flat or reef)
    Small Long Hole method
    Shrinkage method

We also used for:

  • Drop Raise / Blind raise
    Ventilation raise (primary and secondary)
    Drainage holes of 30 cm and more
    Vibration blasting control
    Perimeter blasting and stress reduction
    Drift cuts
    Ore recovery in drifting
    Ore/waste pass
    Security exits

IBM to collaborate with Nippon on the ‘Dragons’ of the future

Brossard (Quebec), September 14th, 2015 Nippon Dragon Resources Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Nippon”) (TSX-V Symbol: NIP), is pleased to announce that it has retained IBM for the development of a cloud based information acquisition system solution by way of sensors for its thermal fragmentation units, commonly referred to as ‘Dragons’. The agreement is the second phase of a project whose ultimate outcome will be to gather and process data in real-time from operating thermal units in the field. The first phase was the preparation and implementation of a cloud based storage system, which has been successfully completed.

IBM will work on selecting suitable heat sensors and their integration on the thermal units in order to quantify the in-hole temperature of the ‘thermal cushion’ with actual tests and transmit the data to the cloud based information acquisition system. Subsequent phases will be to install additional sensors that will provide real-time data on processes such as: productivity, air/water pressure, fuel consumption and overall performance of the units.

The cloud based processing of the data will allow Nippon to build a multi-experiential databank, which will enable optimization of its services and recommendations to customers and distributors. The data will allow, among other things, to provide objective ways to maximize performance and predictive equipment maintenance service information on its Dragons. IBM, in particular, has an undeniable expertise with regards to the implementation of predictive equipment maintenance within the mining industry worldwide.

These actions are part of a long-term program aimed at continuous improvements of the ‘Dragons’ and to position Nippon as a world leader in innovative mining with its exclusive and patented Thermal Fragmentation mining method.

"We are extremely pleased by the interest demonstrated by IBM in working with us to develop the concept of the "Intelligent Mine". Mines need to increase automation in order to optimize operations and significantly reduce overall mining costs, increase productivity, provide safer working conditions all while minimizing its impact on the environment and our mining method meets and even exceeds all of the above-mentioned criteria " stated Mr. André Savard, President and CEO of Nippon

Nippon is active in the exploration and the development of gold resources in Quebec. The Corporation holds a gold property with resources recognised in accordance with NI43-101, a modular treatment plant and also an exclusive license for the Thermal Fragmentation mining method.

The company’s growth strategy is based on:

• The development of its gold deposits with the objective of producing revenue from its operations;
• Increasing the value of its mining assets by prioritizing the exploration targets; and
• The commercialisation and employment of its thermal fragmentation technology.
