Similar successes have been achieved at Bathopele platinum mine near Rustenburg, while CMTI Group’s MT100 and MT1000 ULP equipment have been operating in Burnstone gold mine in Balfour, Mpumalanga.

Sibanye Gold is using the equipment to mine panels at heights of 1m, as opposed to the current 1.5m. By now being able to extract significantly more gold-bearing ore and reduce waste-rock extraction, the mine will increase its yields and reduce its waste-disposal costs.

Certainly, this is in line with Sibanye Gold’s recent announcement that it is researching technology to make its mining operations safer and more productive. The process is being driven by mining operational executive and mining engineer, Peter Turner, who has also highlighted the important contribution of remote-controlled ULP technologies.

CMTI Group’s MT100 has a maximum height of 420mm and a battery life of seven hours.
