This white paper examines the trends, challenges and opportunities associated with underground mining in the race to net zero and a discussion around hoisting as an available zero emissions solution. Significantly, it includes the case study of the BHP Group Limited new production hoist at Prominent Hill in South Australia – an example of how hoisting can increase the annual underground mining rate, extend a mine’s life, lower operating costs, and increase safety in addition to reducing emissions.
