Review for GGD Intelligent Mining Technology

Abstract

Miners' casualties and environmental disruption keep troubling mining industry while the ultimate prospect in mining industry to develop efficient and eco-friendly intelligent mining technology remains. The breakthrough of exploration technology and directional well technology provides new opportunities under the assistance of giant computer technology. This paper elaborates a new workflow of intelligent mining based on GGD (Geology; Geophysics; Drilling) technology. Meanwhile, it points the key technologies for realization procedures including the development of giant drilling and exploitation equipment and backfilling facilities. Most significantly, the application of GGD technology would bring about profound revolution in the design and manufacturing of mining equipment industry.
