First underground tests at Skaland Graphite mine

The project team was on site at Skaland Graphite’s mine to test the DINAMINE drilling jumbo.  

The semi-autonomous drilling jumbo, developed by project partner AMV, successfully used automated boom guidance to drill at the tunnel face in the mine development. The jumbo is specially designed for navigating and operating in the underground mining environment. 

Optimised drill-and-blast design, performance and management is achieved by communication between the drilling jumbo and an automated geological and geotechnical mapping system. 

The team was represented by Skaland Graphite, AMV, and NGI.
