The Mandela Mining Precinct has been established to provide a community of researchers with an opportunity to work together in one space. The Mandela Mining Precinct initiative is implemented through five research-based programmes, all of which are aimed at improving the safety of mines and introducing innovative technologies to the industry.
The programme aims to understand how both specific and general challenges relating to people in the mining modernisation process can be understood from all stakeholders’ perspectives
The programme aims to improve data sourcing, transmission, storage, dissemination, and information management tools, practices, and procedures for mines.
The programme is aimed at improving mining practices and procedures, particularly for established mines that are already constrained by their infrastructure. The aim is to prolong the sustainability of the mines, thereby maintaining current jobs.
The programme is aimed at providing mine planners, rock engineers, geologists and other decision-makers with information and knowledge that will contribute to optimal extraction and zero harm objectives. This knowledge is required to adequately inform day-to-day tactical decisions.
The programme is aimed at providing sustainable mechanised drill, blast and mechanical rock breaking solutions in advancement towards automated systems to facilitate achieving zero harm, whilst maintaining and defending desired production rates at minimised costs
