Mining industry 2011 results
The last ten years have seen some of the greatest ups and downs in the mining industry due to the global economy
2011 showed record profits for the Top 40 mining companies of $133B but market capitalization fell 25%
European debt crisis lingered and the market questioned the long-term growth of developing countries
Net profits increased but net profit margins remained steady reflecting a change in cost base. Costs increased 25% on previous year
The industry invested a record $98B in capital projects and plan for $140B in investment for 2012 in an effort to increase supply
Structural change seen in mining: higher average commodity prices with higher production costs and lower ore grades - - therefore, increasing gross margins not guaranteed

Mining industry 2011 results
The mining industry is considered an indicator of the global economy and as a result, mining stocks have been volatile. Mining stocks are more volatile than the general market but uncertainties of the global economic has added uncertainty
2011 financial results for Top 40
Revenues increased 26% to over $700 billion
Net profit was up 21% to $133 billion
Total assets remained about $1 trillion and grew a 13 percent
Miners must balance pressure to expand supply requiring development of new projects, and investors demanding capital discipline to increase shareholder returns
Mining companies also required to develop resources sustainably

Mining industry environment
PWC submits that though “demand” has been the headline story over the last five years, the main story for the next will be “supply.” Issues facing supply include
Structural changes to cost bases caused by decreasing grades and increasing input costs
Changes in fiscal structures (government) and resource nationalism
Disruption to production
Remoteness of mining locations and increasing capital expenditure required to bring supply to market
The industry has struggled to bring new mines online on time and in budget. Remote locations lack infrastructure to support mining activities and miners
Capital investment and time required to bring projects online is immense, especially for iron ore and coal

Mining industry environment
Mines are remote – hard to get to locations
Large capital investment required for mining equipment, personnel, infrastructure.
Mining sites are like their own cities requiring power, remote facilities, water treatment, transportation (rail, etc.) to ports or utility sites
Often in countries that are not political stable
Persistent pressure from government and communities demanding share of mining return - environment and taxing concerns

Shifting social, economic and political trends affecting mining sector
Cost inflation is higher (cost of doing business) – cost of equipment, electricity to labor demands. Taxes & royalties to hauling truck tires
Fiscal governmental policy changing – increased unpredictability, associated costs, volume
Commodity price volatility greater than ever driven my market uncertainty
More community activism over sustainability and the environment
Infrastructure strain – rail, ports, housing, schools expected to account for 82% of project spend
Corporate cash holdings increased resulting in shareholder expectations
Economic crisis / destructive weather

Mining methods and processing
Mining methods – two basic types
Open pit (cast) – surface mining
Underground or sub-surface mining
Processing of ore materials consists of
Gravity-dependent methods of separation such as panning, hydraulicking or sluice boxes
Crushing or pulverizing such as for iron ore – valuable mineral extracted aster crushing by mechanical and chemical techniques
Leaching is a less common method that may be used for target minerals that are soluble, eg., potash, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium sulfate and uranium oxide which dissolve in water. No digging in process.

Mining methodsExtraction of solid mineral resources from Earth’s crust
Objective is to extract ore of a predetermined grade or higher, leave behind as much lower grade ore and barren rock
Open pit (cast) – surface mining
Dragline removing mountain top or in pit
Dozer along contour
Auger mining
Strip mining – (example: over bridge with bucket wheel excavator to remove overburden then extract coal)

Ore beneficiation (Milling and leaching)
Following the initial mining step, often content of valuable mineral in mining ore is too low to allow for efficient processing. Therefore the ore must be “beneficiated.”
Goal is to ship highest quality
A “concentrator” is the factory to beneficiate the ore“
Comminution” is the function of crushing or grinding the ore to physically liberate the target mineral. Concentration is separation of mineral values
Milling consists of several steps. Concentrator normally located next to mine to minimize shipping costs.
Milling steps for beneficiation start with
Screening
Primary crushing
Secondary crushing

Ore beneficiation or concentration
Typically stage 2 beneficiation includes
Grinding – usually two stages (water added at SAG / ball mill)
Separation
Flotation (often primary and secondary steps)
Thickener, tailings pond and waste water treatment plant
Electrolytic filtration
Drying
Concentrate shipping
All plants have unique layouts and sequence of steps

Ore beneficiation or concentrationGrinding
After materials go through primary and secondary crushing, grinding is the next operation
Particles reduced in size by a combination of impact, chipping and abrasion
Grinding primarily done in rotating steel cylinders known as tumbling mills
The difference between crushing and grinding is that in addition to ore particles, also loose grinding media present (steel rods, balls, hard rocks (pebbles), etc.) for grinding
Very high recirculating loads – or, each tonne of product is ground multiple times
Grinding can be done dry but is usually done wet (in slurry) which allows for transport of materials in a slurry, dust suppression and heat dissipation
Speed of drum is calibrated to where falling media pieces must not fall on the drum liner, but on the ore particles (centrifugal acceleration equal to gravitational acceleration)
Dry grinding prevails where materials will react with water (cement, iron ores)
Grinding is a major use of energy. A high percentage of grinding energy converted to heat.

Tube mill
Grate overflow ball mill
Ore beneficiation or concentrationGrinding
Tumbling mills have horizontal cylindrical shell with changeable inner liners. The cylinder rotates on trunnions are either end. Incoming materials continuously fed through one trunnion while the ground materials leave via the other trunnion or ports around the shell. Course fraction is returned to the mill – this is called “re-circulating load” and can be up to 3 times
Rod – used for fine crusher or course grinder
Ball – usually final step. Give finder finished product
Hardinge mill – balls segregated by size (matched to particles ground)
Tube mills (high length to diameter ratio)
Fully autogenous (AG) – large diameter and low L/D ration (~0.5:1). Use tumbling w/o media. Ore grinds itself. Abrasion used.
Semi-autogenous (SAG) – ore self-grinding is enhanced by addition of some balls (large)

Coal mining and processing
Coal is a soft rock found in large seams either just below the surface or at deeper sites
Underground coal mine – coal extracted through tunnels and shafts. Coal is broken into a size that is easily moved and stored
Long wall mining is a technique where about 200m of the coal face is mined at one time via a Anderton shearer that claws coal from the face and loads it into a conveyor
After mining, processing is not as extensive as other mineral processing. Coal separated from rock using specific gravity and size and sometimes ground

Minerals processing for further refinement(Smelting and refining)
Pyro-metallurgy (smelting, refining, roasting): The next step is usually smelting which liberates metals form the concentrate - - which means it happens above the melting point of the concentrate.
For oxide concentrates like iron ore, a carbon is added and the product is molten metal and slag. Sulfide oxides are also smelted, but an oxidant (air) is blown in to liberate copper, zinc lead and similar metals
The molten metal is impure and at least another smelting process follows for further refining.
Metals is then cast into billets, blooms, slabs, or other shapes.
Hydrometallurgical operation: Example: digestion of phosphate in producing phosphoric acid
Electrometallurgical operation: Electrolytic refining (copper & zinc)

Mining and energy efficiency
The mining industry is a large consumer of energy
South Africa’s Department of Minerals and Energy (DME) estimates the mining industry uses 6% of all energy consumed in South Africa
Vale, mining giant in Brazil, is the single largest energy consumer accounting for around 4% of all energy used
In the U.S., it is calculated that the mining industry uses 3% of industry energy.
Energy cost is estimated to represent more than 15% of the total cost of production (USA) - yet – still minimal focus on energy efficiency

Mining and energy efficiency
Increasingly stringent government environmental policies
The industry is working to address sustainability issues such as carbon emissions, finite availability of resources, water quality
Mines working on low emissions technology either directly or through funding research
Advanced management techniques and technologies are increasing productivity to permit exploration, extraction and processing to occur with minimal environmental impact
Mines considering power generation for their own mine distribution and use of renewables

Mining and energy efficiency
Though energy is estimated at about 15% of cost of production (USA number, Cleantech magazine – Fuel Cell Special, Sept/Oct 2010), little attention spent on EE
Increase on EE due to global recession and decline in commodity prices or in regions where there is a shortage of energy (example: Mines in northern Chile have reduced power use to avoid introduction of rationing).
Regulatory pressure is a stronger driver to mining companies to take action
Governments, especially in countries with large mining sectors, are imposing standards for EE
Australia’s miners obliged to comply with the Equipment Energy Efficiency (E3) program for EE.
S Africa, The DME set a target in 2007 for mining industry to reduce energy demand by 15% by 2015. 32 S African mining and industrial companies have signed up on a voluntary basis

Mining energy efficiency opportunities
Mining operations are typically remote and some processes are highly energy intensive. Rock crushing, drilling and grinding require considerable mechanical forces and subsequently large amounts of energy. Energy use increases as ore grade declines
It is estimated that approximately 90% of the electricity for mining is used by motor driven systems such as fans, compressed air and pumps (Xenergy, 1998). A large portion of this is to drive fans for mine ventilation (Xenergy, 1997)
Energy efficiency measure can also lead to non-energy benefits such as better equipment reliability, longer equipment life, reduction in maintenance costs and downtime and improved work environments (mine ventilation, lighting, etc.)

Mine ventilation and cooling
Systems approach to mine ventilation that takes into account parameters from the point power enters the motor to required function. Ventilation system automation to constantly analyze requirements with smart sensors to determine air quality and adjusts flow (power supply, flow control devices, ducks, sensors / meters, high-efficiency motors and fans, variable speed drives). Additional benefit of improved power factor and reduce penalties.
For cooling, consider moving air via insulated pipes and pumps to fan/coil heat exchanges located in the mine itself versus moving cool air from the surface to the underground mine via fans and ducts. The closed loop used to pipe chilled water takes advantage of gravity to move water into and out of the mine.*

Mining energy efficiency opportunitiesEnergy for water use
Most mines both consume and produce water. Energy is used to pump the water
Water used in mining for drilling, transportation ( materials slurried near mine and transported through pipeline suspended in water (size reduction facilities)), and processing (grinding, washing, separated via screening or other gravity separation). Water is also used to suppress dust when crushing and on hauling roads, etc.
Often water produced during exploration or operation and must be removed to prevent flooding and may need to be treated before discharge
Significant energy can be used to remove water due not only to amount but it must be lifted to the surface
Sometimes water must be imported or transferred as surplus mine water to treatment or discharge locations

Results of DOE mining study
Best practice energy use based on various reports of top-performing mining equipment
Theoretical minimum energy – minimum energy needed to complete a process in the absence of energy losses to heat, etc.
Practical Minimum – Considered closest approach to the theoretical limit allowed by implementing best practices and technologies developed by ongoing R&D. This is a moving target since science and technology continue to improve energy efficiency
Factors in electricity generation losses in analysis – employed the “tacit” energy consumption values, i.e., energy used onsite plus the energy lost in generating and distributing the energy instead of onsite consumption. One Btu of electricity onsite requires a total energy use of 3.17 Btu. Conversely, saving 1 Btu translates to saving 3.17 Btu
