Abstract:Measure while drilling (MWD) refers to the acquisition of real-time data associated with the drilling process, including information related to the geological characteristics encountered in hard-rock mining. The availability of large quantities of low-cost MWD data from blast holes compared to expensive and sparsely collected orebody knowledge (OBK) data from exploration drill holes make the former more desirable for characterizing pre-excavation subsurface conditions. Machine learning (ML) plays a critical ro… Show more
