BCTEC determined the impact of loading equipment in terms of performance complemented by an economic evaluation (NPV) using mining operations as a case study.
1- The technology was evaluated under the current DET conditions, estimating a monthly performance on multiple fronts and costs per meter using the production plan of the Pacifico Superior as input.
2- A second evaluation was carried out under the conditions of the tunnel conveyor belt in the New Production Level of the Mine (PNNM), using a scenario with longer isolation times and seismicity.
