Computers represent substantial capital investment. A better return on that invest- ment comes from more effective use of the computer's facilities. By using Telecom's data communications facilities, more people in more locations can have ready access to those facilities.

The Benambra deposits, which are regarded as volcanogenic in origin, may be subdivided into two major bodies, termed the Wilga and the Currawong deposits; these are further subdivided into smaller, more manageable units, based on composition and structure/spatial distribution.

`WELL HE WOULD, WOULDN'T HE?' Public Relations people have something in common with advertising people and politicians: there exists a perception that their whole Raison d'Etre is to create, mould, and maintain images which are far removed from reality

A heuristic approach for the optimisation of the stope geometry is presented. The heuristic method uses economic model of a given deposit to search for the best combination of mining blocks that results in the maximum profit while imposing geo

Coal fragmentation is a function of coal type and mining process. Each unit step in the mining, handling and crushing chain of coal imparts energy to the material and impacts on size degradation and consequent mineral matter liberation and pla
