Where Can I Learn About RFID’s Use in the Mining Industry?

I am very interested in underground mining applications for radio frequency identification. How are mines and mills using this technology?

• 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

• AeroScout Takes Wi-Fi RFID Underground
