Mining in Canada stands as one of the most energy-intensive sectors, playing a pivotal role
as a significant provider of copper, nickel, and cobalt to the international market. Anticipated …

ABSTRACT In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) systems are receiving more attention
today due to current characteristics of open-pit mining operations and what is expected to …

In a global environment where energy and labor are becoming increasingly expensive,
continuous mining systems such as In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) systems have …

Truck-Shovel (TS) systems are the most common mining system currently used in large
surface mines. They offer high productivity combined with the flexibility to be rapidly …

A new conceptual mining method called the near-face stockpile (NFS), which combines the
in-pit crushing and conveying IPCC system with a pre-crusher stockpile, has recently been …

In open-pit mines, the traditional truck-based haulage system has consumed large amounts
of energy in the haulage sector for many years. The use of continuous in-pit crushing and …

Mine transportation approximately accounts for more than half of operating costs. Therefore
selection of the appropriate mine transportation system by considering the effective criteria …

Approximately, 40% of the total energy used in surface mines is related to diesel
consumption. Truck haulage is responsible for a majority of this. This chapter introduces the …

In-pit crushing and conveying (IPCC) systems have attracted more interest among miners as
an alternative to the conventional truck-shovel transportation system. The semi-mobile IPCC …

In-Pit Crushing and Conveying (IPCC) has gained momentum in recent years to replace
trucks partially or fully in large open pit mines because of the shovel-truck system's …
