Jan 01, 2013· Today, the mine equipment can actually be used as communication nodes, with the mine site being transformed into a mesh communication system, rather than a point-to-point system. Such a system allows the tracking of equipment and personnel via Wi-Fi, two-way voice with VoIP telephones, remote video, and through-the-earth emergency ...

Underground mining operations around the world pose similar risks to worker safety and health. Though different techniques are used to extract base metals, precious metals, nonmetallic minerals, diamonds and coal, the hazards do not differ that much. The deeper the mine, however, the greater the risk. Safety Challenges in Underground Mines

Underground mines are the alternative to surface mines. Surface mines excavate from the top down, a method that can become inefficient at depths greater than about 200 feet (60 meters) [sources: Illinois Coal Association, De Beers].Undergrounds coal mines can drive 2,500 feet (750 meters) into the Earth and other types even deeper -- uranium mines can reach 6,500 feet, or 2 kilometers.
