摘要

En 中文
With the introduction of advanced technology, different aspects such as communication, minerals handling and transportation and responses to emergences, safety, production, and environmental protection in mining oper-ations have improved. Technological advancement has played a very pivotal role in the prevention of mining hazards thereby improving efficiency in the mines. Several technologies have been developed to pave way for a unified approach for mining operations. The evolution of technology in mining is discussed right from mecha-nization to automation while addressing the various safety challenges faced in both surface and underground mines. To further appreciate technological advancement in mining, key safety techniques used to promote safety during drilling and blasting, ventillation, underground mine support and slope stability were reported. Despite the enormous contributions that emanate from mining that are crucial for human survival such as the production of building materials and minerals for processing medication, the sector is compelled to adopt better techniques to improve production efficiency and reduce environmental and safety risks to inject sustainability into the whole value chain. Furthermore, the major milestones achieved in improving communication in mining which has been proven to be the most crucial elements needed to promote safety in mining was discussed.
