We hear it all the time: mines go deeper, exploration takes place in more remote places, grades are going down, ores get more complex, etc. Whether these "truths" are actually true or not can be discussed but the ways to combat them are, all seem to agree, through technology and innovation. According to Atlas Copco the Cyclop 50 drill from 1907 managed to drill between 3 and 5 m/h while the Rocket Boomer XL4 -2005 4\*rock drill COP 3038 and manages 450 m/h. I assume that this drill speed, from a 2005 corporate publication, has been surpassed long ago. "Innovation lies at the heart of the story of mining"-as the authors of the book Global challenges for innovation in the mining industries formulate it. The book aims to provide an in-depth analysis of the innovation ecosystem in the mining sector. Predictions of rising demand in the coming decades for most mineral raw materials make developing techniques find new deposits of minerals, to enable miners to recover increasing amounts of minerals from the ground in a cost-effective manner, and to ensure that this is done in a way that is environmentally responsible critical. How the industry and governments are addressing this challenge,
