Future Possibilities to be considered
• Robotics and Advanced Manufacturing Techniques applied to current mining– Mine large low grade deep deposits
• Perfect Safety, Minimize Costs and Maximize Revenues
– Mine Large Scale Underwater Deposits– Begin to look at Space
• Demand for minerals and metals continues to grow– 2% growth means the current production on the earth
must double every 38 years to keep up with demand!! Or prices will rise.
