Sharing knowledge in the digital realm--An online resource for mine design

摘要

What if there was a way to bring together not just all the existing knowledge and best practices in mine design from around the world today, but also the very minds behind them, to build on them, collaborate, discuss and identify areas needing new research and tools? What impact would this have on the sector's present and future? How would this accelerate innovation and progress? With the Centre for Excellence in Mining Innovation's (CEMI) recent introduction of the online resource MineDesignWiki, the opportunity to answer these questions in the near future has become very real. All that is needed now is for practitioners, professionals and students in mining to join and continue to build the virtual community.
