A research project at Doe Run’s Fletcher Mine and Mill in Viburnum, Mo. uses high resolution digital cameras to monitor for roof movement and then set off an alarm to warn miners.
The project is being trialled in a lead mine which uses room and pillar mining techniques.
Funding (of about $50,000) is jointly provided by the company and the University of Missouri-Rolla.
