With the rapid rise in artificial intelligence around the world, it was only a matter of time before AI-driven solutions were introduced into the mining industry. Australian-based company Augment Technologies is revolutionising mine site operations, by combining AI algorithms with a physics engine to create a 3D blasting model. As Co-Founder and CEO Brice Gower explains, the Muckpile Block Model™ can increase ore recovery by up to 5%, generating up to $10 million in metal recovery efficiencies for miners.
