• Australian Coal Mine to Enhance Safety Using RFID
• Indian Mine Monitors Workers and Toxic Gases
• CVRD Inco Tracks Ore in Mine and Mill
• Chilean Copper Mine Tracks Vehicles and Workers
• Bechtel Tracks Man-Hours at Copper Mine
• W.Va. Coal Mine Tests to Locate Workers During Emergencies
• RFID Is Golden to Nevada Mine
• Anglo Coal Tags Miners’ Cap Lamps, Vehicles and Tools
• Xstrata Mines RFID’s Benefits
