During this stage, water will be pumped down one of the boreholes for underground geothermal heating, with the resulting hot water then extracted via the other borehole. The heating plant will feed this heat into the local district heating network. The stimulation stage will study the flow of this borehole water through rock fissures at a depth of more than six kilometres underground.

With so many cities around the world facing an acute need for water, “the hard path” will not be abandoned. It will always seem easier to bring water in, or to exploit a new source, than to move tens of millions of people, or completely redraw the map of agricultural production. The scale of the problem was suggested by research published in 2014 by The Nature Conservancy, an American charity. Its list of water-stressed cities was dominated by places in India and China—with Delhi second, Shanghai fourth and Beijing fifth. Mexico City came third. But top of the list was Tokyo. Other rich-world cities were also high up, including Los Angeles (eighth) and even London (15th).

The recently inaugurated Control Tower located in Epiroc facilities in Örebro, Sweden, is designed to be an innovation arena to collaborate around, explore and develop automation and information management solutions.

Huge missing puzzle pieces resided deep below, but without having direct access to much of this, identifying it all has proven to be a deeply difficult task. The best scientists can do is a two-fold plan: firstly, they want to find microbial samples that they can use to approximate overall abundances; secondly, they hope to find proxy measurements; things we can directly measure that betray other pieces of information we can’t, like heat, rock geochemistries, water flow and so on.

Woskov laughs when he reveals that drilling engineers have a hard time believing his technology does not use the costly drilling mud they depend on. But, he explains, with a gyrotron, high-temperature physics will replace the mechanical functions of low-temperature mud, allowing drillers to extract rock matter through vaporization or displace the melt through pressurization. Similarly, the high temperature melted rock will seal the walls of the borehole, and the high pressure from the increased temperature will prevent collapse. In principle, because an increase in temperature in a confined volume will always result in an increase in pressure over local pressure, drillers could maintain the stability of a borehole to greater depths than possible with drilling muds.

“Automatic hammers help to ensure accurate depth control compared to manual hammers. This has even led some states and jurisdictions to require automatic hammers for conducting standard penetration tests,” said Joe Haynes, Little Beaver president. “The LST1G+HDA eliminates user error and makes it easy for drill operators of any experience level to take samples quickly and accurately.”

AISC improved as the overall operating costs decreased, following the end of the rainy season, and due to an increase in ounces sold.

Atlas Copco (India) has exercised an option to buy the remaining 75% of shares in Focus Rocbit and Prisma Roctools. The acquisitions will strengthen the Group’s position in the market for drill bits and hammers. Atlas Copco acquired 25% of the companies in April 2008. Focus is a manuf

- Non-sustaining capital spending from continuing operations increased by $26 million in 2018 over 2017 mainly due to an increase at Agbaou for waste capitalization activities and the addition of the Hounde mine.
