Epiroc Sells Drill Rigs, Loaders to Mali Mine

Hummingbird Resources subsidiary Société des Mines de Komana adopted Epiroc drill rigs and loaders with advanced automation features, as well as drill rig consumables, for Komana underground mine in southern Mali. Epiroc will supply Boomer M2 face drilling rigs, Simba M6 production drilling rigs, and Scooptram ST18 loaders.

The loaders will have Scooptram Automation, which lets an operator control the vehicles tele-remotely from a distance. Additional automation features include Epiroc’s telematics system Certiq, which allows for intelligent monitoring of machine performance and productivity in real-time, and Epiroc’s Rig Control System, RCS, which makes them ready for automation and remote control.

The first automated Scooptram ST18 and Boomer M2 have already arrived on site.
