AME encourages all our members to engage with potential partners and to communicate and listen to each other to find common ground. We provide a sounding board for our members and opportunities to share stories and experiences with each other. We always encourage healthy and productive conversations. At the AME Roundup conference, we released our Early Engagement Planning Tool (www.amebc.ca/resources/tools/early- engagement-planning-tool) to help mineral explorers develop an effective plan for engagement with Indigenous Peoples in British Columbia. The tool consists of 14 questions to answer that, when completed, will generate a report providing a wide range of tips, guidance, and tools for undertaking early engagement with Indigenous groups. It has been especially rewarding to see the results of partnership agreements and training programs that have been jointly created by companies and First Nations. Capacity has been created, and we are seeing more First Nation owned and operated service and supply companies starting up, including expediting, consulting, and drilling companies. British Columbia is the first province in Canada to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) into provincial law. I believe in the long run the province’s new Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act (DRIPA) will be positive for our industry; however, there are still many details to work out and difficult conversations to have. With that said, Scott Fraser, the Minister for Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation, as well as Premier John Horgan and some of the leading First Nations members who were part of implementing UNDRIP into the B.C. legislation, have all emphatically stated UNDRIP does not imply veto. Every project is unique and has a different set of circumstances and different people involved, requiring a unique negotiation and discussion. There may be challenges due to different points of view but there are also opportunities and solutions. It means we, as an industry, need to sit down and communicate, listen, and understand what those concerns are and do our best to mitigate concerns. There is almost always a way to find a solution that works for everyone. AME has been working with government and First Nations leadership throughout the process, and we will certainly continue to make sure mineral explorers are represented in the implementation of DRIPA as it is incorporated throughout British Columbia’s laws and regulatory processes.

Air leaks, over-greased bearings, failed steam traps, electrical faults, passing valves, the ULTRAchecker finds them all. It’s the easiest detector we’ve ever created. It works with any second generation SDT ultrasound sensor, from the RS2T magnetic mount sensor and the ULTRAsense airborne sensor to the PARAdish2 parabolic dish. The kit includes: • SDT ULTRAChecker; • ULTRAsense Sensor; • RS2T Threaded Sensor; • Curved Magnetic Foot; • 5.24 inch Needle assembly; • Sensor cable; • USB cable; • Headphones; • Screwdriver; • 2 AA batteries; and • Carrying case. https://sdtultrasound.com/ultracheckerwww.canadianminingmagazine.com 33 TOOLS OF THE TRADE Better data collection from Hazardous Areas SKF has gained hazardous area approval for its QuickCollect sensor, which collects vibration and temperature data. The new approval, to both European and International standards, allows the sensor to be used in places that would previously have required a “hot work” permit. The certification opens up applications in a range of sectors, including the petrochemicals, mining, and marine industries. It also brings digitalization of data into hazardous areas, which up to now is a relative rarity. The sensor is certified to both the international IECEx and European ATEX standards, for use in Zone 1 hazardous areas. In addition, it is approved for CSA Class I, Division 2, making it suitable for certain applications in North America. www.skf.com Spectral Evolution introduces oreXplorer™ Looking for gold, copper, nickel, lithium, and rare earth? This portable spectrometer and EZ-ID mineral identification software allows you to identify more than 1,100 minerals in seconds. You can explore more territory and make more informed decisions on where to drill to maximize exploration outcomes. Used in the core shack, you can map alteration and eliminate unnecessary assays on cores that show no potential, reduce the time logging takes, and build a digital archive of your results. All instruments are designed for field work with a rugged chassis, no moving optical parts, and metal-clad fibre optic cable that’s field replaceable. They feature one-touch operation with auto-dark current and auto-exposure.

We are always looking for innovative products and services to showcase within our Tools of the Trade section. Radio remote control from GHH Safety first in mining and tunneling – for this reason the German machine manufacturer GHH is pushing the use of radio remote controls wherever it suits the application. Its T-RX100J model is particularly light, comparatively inexpensive, and also works with other OEM equipment. The T-RX100J model can be used to control heavy equipment by radio remote, from a safe distance, including load haul dumpers, dump trucks, and drilling rigs. It is recommended for use in areas where the operator would be exposed to increased danger. Some key applications include sublevel stoping, because of rock instability, as well as block cave, due to the potential for rock burst. A special feature is the tilt sensor. If the control unit tilts unexpectedly (e.g. because the operator falls), the “dead man” switch stops the machine. The degree of response can be changed to meet individual requirements. The safety circuit also triggers if the radio connection is interrupted. Communication with the machine is digital and therefore highly stable. For failure protection, the RRC uses twin processors with self-diagnosis function. A large emergency stop switch is located in the middle of the console: The overall ergonomics are exemplary. www.ghh-fahrzeuge.de/en/start 150-Word Description Effective Headline Product Image Hyperlink to Your Website If you'd like your product featured in this section, please reach out to learn what options are available. Contact sales@matrixgroupinc.net.www.canadianminingmagazine.com 35 TOOLS OF THE TRADE Superior unveils new model Cone Crusher Superior Industries, Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, added a new model to its line of Patriot® Cone Crushers – the P500. The P500 model Patriot Cone Crusher is engineered to operate most effectively at 500 horsepower (350 kW). Other specifications unique to the P500 include a head diameter of 59 inches (1,500 mm), maximum feed opening of 13.5 inches (343 mm), and closed side settings from 3/8 to two inches (10 to 50 mm). Notable features of the P500 model cone include: • Inverted or reverse design of tramp relief cylinders ensures the hydraulic seals are not exposed to contamination during operation. • Tramp relief system designed with fewer accumulators for less maintenance. An automatic pressure relief valve means additional protection. • Universal crushing chamber design requires no major, time-consuming change-outs when transitioning from secondary to tertiary applications. • If loss of clamping pressure, counterclockwise countershaft rotation causes crusher to open rather than turn down, which can cause significant damage. www.superior-ind.com Nokia, CENGN, and NORCAT to power mining innovation with private wireless network In March 2020, Nokia announced that it has joined forces with CENGN and NORCAT to install and operate a private LTE/4.9G wireless connectivity network in NORCAT’s Underground Centre.
