General

We have noticed that many sites have been storing archived survey files and old, unused data in the mXrap root folder.
In general, it is good practice to keep the root clean of any unused/archived data and to make sure your root folder is regularly upgraded.

Long Paths and Root Mapping

There is an old restriction from the 1990s in the Microsoft Windows OS that limits the maximum file path to 260 characters. This limit is too low in modern work environments, and users can easily reach this limit. Example of a root folder that can hit the limit:M:17_Underground Mining173_Geotech111_Data5.4_GeotechnicalSeismicitymXraproot_minesite The start of the path uses 90 out of the 260 limit, leaving only 170 characters for folders and files inside the data folder. Please note

Geotechnical Design for Underground Metalliferous Mines Course

This course is designed to develop specific underground metalliferous mining geomechanics design competencies for engineers to enhance their contribution to mine site geomechanics programs.

RaSiM 11

The RaSiM symposium will aim at an exchange of scientific and practical knowledge and experiences related to all aspects of rockburst and mining-induced seismicity.

Managing Seismic Risk in Underground Metalliferous Mines Course

This course is designed to introduce mine geotechnical engineers to basic mine seismology concepts and their application in mining. Geotechnical engineers who work on medium to high risk seismic mines would benefit most from this course.

Deep Mining 2027

Deep Mining 2027 is an international conference which provides a forum for industry and academia to come together and share research, experience and knowledge on best practice in deep and high stress underground mining.
