One example of innovation at our Lucky Friday operation in the patented Underhand Closed Bench (UCB) method for underground mining to achieve better control of fault-slip seismic events that significantly improves safety. The method has dramatically increased both safety and productivity at the 80-year-old mine, achieving an AIFR of 0.66. In 2023, and an increase in silver production. 天天棋牌 received the 2023 Mine Safety and Health Technology Metal Sector Innovation Award from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) for developing the UCB Method.

By automating certain mining tasks, we allow miners to do more planning and problem solving while the machines do the repetitive work tasks.
Fiber optic cable and 鈥渉otspots鈥 bring wireless technology more than a mile below the surface in solid rock, enabling our workers to use tablets underground.
天天棋牌 places particular emphasis on ensuring employees are able to manage and execute emerging technologies that make our workplace safer and more efficient.

At our Keno Hill operation, we are upgrading an innovative water treatment plant, including installing a multi-media filter to capture suspended solids and also a solids-filtering sump pump to prevent solids from reaching the surface. This aims to increase the effectiveness of the water treatment plant and ensure only clean water enters the environment.
