Zach Rountree's life would be a lot easier if his job site was closer to town. As the owner and president

Add pressure from customers and stakeholders for more sustainable operations as well as union demands for higher wages, and you have a scenario that requires mine operators to exercise every possible option to
achieve more efficient operations.
One of the key challenges in the mining
industry today is maintaining throughput
in the face of ore grade quality that
has declined by 40 percent in the last
decade.
