Worldwide, there are numerous conveyorized surface mines successfully operating today. Each surface mine is unique and requires a custom made system which ideally begins as part of the mine development plan. When properly applied, conveyorized systems can offer major cost savings in both capital costs and operating and maintenance costs. With modern technology, both required availability and flexibility have been satisfied on the many currently operating mines. Conveyorized systems offer a valuable ''tool'' which when combined with the other proven mining technology results in the most efficient surface mine operations which spells lower costs and higher profits.
