1. Evaluation of environmental rehabilitation practices in bauxite mining at the plateau of Poços de Caldas
Abstract Bauxite mining has been carried out around Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, since the 1940s. Companies operating in the region pioneered land rehabilitation in Brazil, conducted since the early 1980s. Different procedures of recontouring, runoff drainage, soil preparation and vegetation planting were employed. This research aims to evaluate current e

3. Increased power efficiency in mining by using high-fidelity haul truck simulation
Abstract The current economic and political scenario in Brazil has allowed small, medium and large companies to adopt cost cutdown and productivity increase strategies. Diesel fuel consumption by off-highway haul trucks stands for one of the largest costs at the Sossego Mine operational management department. Based on this fact, as well as on the 8% increase

4. Achieving effective confinement through utilization of non-Newtonian fluid mixture as stemming structure
Abstract The economics of a mining operation is directly influenced by blasting outcomes, where blasting aims to comminute the rock mass in order to attain smaller grain sizes to be loaded and hauled at a minimum cost for its first processing stage. In order to promote adequate rock breakage, the stemming structure needs to provide proper confinement for the

5. Caracterização litoestrutural e parametrização geomecânica das superfícies de ruptura em taludes na Mina de N4E Carajás / PA
The Carajás Mineral Province has been discovered in the 60s and mining activities began in the 80s, which has been increasing significantly up to the present day. It is the most important unit of VALE Company, related to the exploitation of iron ore. The N4E mine has been chosen because it is the main mine of the Carajás Mineral Complex and it presents the

6. REDES NEURAIS NA MANUTENÇÃO PREDITIVA DE CAMINHÕES FORA DE ESTRADA / NEURAL NETWORKS FOR PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE ON OFF-HIGWAY TRUCKS
With the increasing demand for ore in the world, the complexity, size and price of mining equipment have increased considerably. As these machines have embedded monitoring technology, the use of such data to increase the reliability and availability of the equipment has become essential in order to reduce maintenance costs. The objective of this work is deve

7. Water level behavior evaluation in upstream tailing dam. / Avaliação do comportamento do nível dágua em barragem de contenção de rejeito alteada a montante.
Among the main building methods of tailings dams, the upstream method is undoubtedly the most vulnerable to the occurrence of the failure originated by the power of seepage groundwater through the embankment. In a reservoir-dam system having low cohesion slimes, such as tailings dams, the power of seepage groundwater benefits the installation of internal ero
