“…The company's Group Director, Technical and Sustainability, claims that new technologies will lead to mining that is more "environmentally friendly" (O'Neill, 2015). Negative descriptions of downside risk and impact are largely omitted from the new technology narrative (Hayes, 2017). Negative descriptions of downside risk and impact are largely omitted from the new technology narrative (Hayes, 2017).…”

“…Likewise, the CEO of Goldfields suggests that the introduction of new technologies will create greater "value for all stakeholders" (Holland, 2017). Negative descriptions of downside risk and impact are largely omitted from the new technology narrative (Hayes, 2017). Companies explain that with automation, jobs will move from the "coalface" in remote areas to the "control room" in urban centres.…”

Advances in computing, robotics, artificial intelligence, communications, materials, and interactive technologies are disrupting the business-society interface in almost all sectors. The mining industry is projecting an overwhelmingly positive narrative about the new technologies it is investing in and is eager to promote their economic benefits. What is lacking, however, is discussion about how these technologies will be experienced by those most immediately impacted by mining: local communities.Mine-community relations are notoriously complex, and it is likely that incorporating new technologies into operations will further complicate this interface. At a minimum, responsible companies must understand the social impacts of new technologies and provide assurance that the use of these technologies will not put host communities at risk. We argue that due diligence is central to ensuring that downside social risks of new technologies are identified, understood, and managed.

“…Number of publications deal with the issues of structural components, such as drums, friction pulleys (Wolny & Badura, 2012), sheaves (Grobler, 2005;Dumitrescu et al, 2015), brakes (Kowal et al, 2012;Ungureanu et al, 2017a) and drives (Tiley, 1993), cages (skips) and hoist steel wire ropes (Stanova et al, 2015;Šaderová, 1997). Some authors describe hoisting machines used in practice (Despodov et al, 2012;Johansson, 2005), some deal with safety issues (Hayes, 2011) and maintenance (Vayenas & Wu, 2011), others evaluate engagement of vertical conveyance in comparison with other available conveyance systems, e.g., conventional shaft hoisting and flexowell vertical belt applications (Gonen at al., 2012), vertical shaft and a ramp system (Elevli et al, 2002). Authors also present modernisation and reconstruction of existing hoisting machines (Despodov & Panov, 2015;Wang, 2014).…”

Scientific research discussed in the present article is focused on the determination of the vertical conveyance capacity in the process of mining minerals, while applying a mathematical calculation and verification of the calculation results by simulation. Input parameters for the capacity calculation include the transport cycle time. The article presents the results of measuring a transport cycle during the operation and a calculation of the transport cycle while using known formulas. On the basis of the observed findings, two methods of increasing the hoisting machine capacity were proposed. The first method is increasing the velocity from the original value of 6 m.s -1 to the velocity of 7 m.s -1 . In this case, we achieved the daily capacity increase in 2-2.5%. The second method consisted in changing the hoisting machine acceleration and deceleration modes by which we achieved as much as 9% increase in the daily capacity. The article also describes a transport cycle simulation model, with its output being the number of work cycles parameter. The obtained parameter was used again in the capacity calculation. The simulation model was used in experiments for both, the current status as well as proposed solutions. The simulation model serves also for calculation verification.
