In the mid-1980s, however, 2005, and an estimated $105 million in 2006. Although there international tin prices decreased precipitously, and the prices was some concern that increased political risk in the mineral of Bolivia’s other important metal export commodities also fuels sector might affect FDI in the mining sector as well, there declined. Natural gas replaced combined metals and industrial was no apparent spillover through 2006. In 2002, annual FDI in minerals as the country’s leading export. In 2006, Bolivia the mining sector was already at its lowest level ($11.56 million) produced about 6% of the world’s total mine output of tin; 5%, since at least 1996, but in 2003, FDI in the mining sector nearly of antimony; 2%, of zinc; slightly greater than 1%, of bismuth doubled to $20.46 million; it increased again to $44 million and boron; and approximately 1%, of tungsten.

Open Pit Or Block Caving? a Numerical Ranking Method for Selection
The Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy 2014 SOMP Annual Meeting F. Rashidi-Nejad, F. T. Suorineni, and B. Asi Open pit or block caving? A numerical ranking method for selection F. Rashidi-Nejad*, F. T. Suorineni*, and B. Asi† *School of Mining Engineering, UNSW Australia †BBA Consulting Engineers, Canada Mining in the 21st century is facing many challenges, among which are low-grade and high- tonnage orebodies. One great (r)evolution in mining occurred in the early 20th century when Daniel Jackling proposed the concept of economies of scale for large-scale (bulk) mining at Bingham Canyon. At that time, there were many shallow deposits around the world suitable for open pit mining. Hence, this method grew rapidly and the majority of iron, copper, and gold production came from open pit mines. Open pit mining method has many advantages such as increased safety, higher production rates, more flexibility, lower cost, less operational risk, etc., so normally it considered as preferred option; but break-even depth, high stripping ratios, and environmental issues have become significant challenges facing this method in 21st century. In underground mining, block caving is the only method with the costs comparable to surface mining methods, especially open pit mining. A switch from open pit mining to block caving mining could be another great development in this century. However, even though an increasing number of mines are being developed using block caving, this method involves many technological and environmental challenges. The depth of the orebody is one of the most important factors governing selection of the mining method. -

(GWY: TSX- V) is pleased to announce that, in addition to serving as a Director, Marshall Himes has agreed to join Galway as its Chief Operating Officer. Mr. Himes will be in charge of Galway’s technical team as the Company staffs up. Marshall retired several years ago after serving as the Chief Geologist for advanced projects for BHP worldwide. This role involved evaluating projects at the advanced exploration stage for acquisition, or managing existing advanced projects to move them along to development. “We look forward to working with a person of Marshall Himes’ caliber. Marshall’s vast experience working with advanced exploration projects, coupled with his intimate knowledge of the Indian Springs Project, bodes extremely well for Galway’s future. Further, having Marshall join Galway after a few years in retirement, speaks scores about the vast potential of the Indian Springs Project.” stated Robert Hinchcliffe, the President and CEO of Galway. Earlier on in his career, Mr. Himes was the Project Manager at the Indian Springs Property with Utah International beginning in 1977. He was responsible for the day-to- day geologic activities of mapping, sampling, drilling and resource estimates. He also coordinated the metallurgical bulk sampling and worked with the mining engineers in developing a preliminary mine plan at Indian Springs. Mr. Himes received a B.S. in Geology from the University of Washington and an M.S.
