ANNUAL AMMSA TOUR VISITS CANADA
The Association of Mine Managers of South Africa (AMMSA) president, Stuart Sepetla, and 36 members of the AMMSA council visited Canada in late September.
Canada has a large and varied mining industry that includes both underground and opencast operations. The visit saw the exchange of best practices and new ideas on safety, as well as on operational matters.
Ruben Olivier, Manager: Innovation, Robotics and Central Blasting Systems (CBS), represented Enaex Africa on the technical tour as a friend of the association. “We visited a number of mines to understand their operations and share ideas from AMMSA’s side. It was also an excellent opportunity to build relationships with local miners in a relaxed atmosphere where I had the time to learn more about their challenges,” says Ruben.
The delegation also visited several mining engineering and equipment companies to look at the latest developments in robotics. “We saw a number of demonstrations such as automated bolting and the installation of wire mesh, which are very much along the lines of our thinking at Enaex. This kind of benchmarking is useful and gives us confidence in our own concepts,” says Ruben.
