WEBINAR: Controlling costs - What's driving increasing costs in your mining operation?

Mining is an expensive business. Equipment, fuel, payroll and maintenance costs add up quickly, and every dollar spent detracts from a mine’s profits.

So it’s vital to make sure all aspects of the operation are performing as cost-effectively as possible.

Caterpillar understands the challenge, and has the expertise and technology to help you meet it. The company asked customers to identify their biggest sources of increased costs and many of them gave the same five answers: process variability, unscheduled repairs, fuel costs, collisions and shift change.

In this exclusive webinar, moderated by Mining Journal & Mining Magazine Editor-in-Chief Richard Roberts, Caterpillar Mining subject matter experts explore tips and best practices for weathering the storm of cost constraints, and provide unique insights into process, technology, equipment management, training and other business enhancements.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear from Craig Watkins, marketing and sales support supervisor, mining technology enabled solutions, and Bill Dears, commercial mining manager mining technology, at Caterpillar.
