There seems no end to the woes of exporters to Europe. Months of slowdown, then when the situation started to look up, the rupee appreciated eating into the profits of the exporters. While the exporters were still in the midst of re-evaluating their strategies, exports to key European markets have now been affected by flight disruptions over the past few days as planes remain grounded following a volcanic eruption in Iceland. In the last couple of days I have met a few number of exporters who have been affected for these reasons. However, I felt that the exporters who solely depended on European markets were the most affected, while exporters who had diverse countries in their trade basket were not affected much in their profit bookings.

I think the situation calls for looking at all geographical directions, rather than just looking at the West, from which we are at present not profiting much. As such, turning our attention towards the Eastern nations can be a good idea. It"s a fact agreed by experts that the region today provides immense opportunity for Indian manufacturers and service providers to expand their global footprint. For instance, Indian seafood exports to Europe and US have declined in volume and value over last year and interestingly, for the first time, seafood exports from India to the East have surpassed those to the West. A fair indication of the potential the region holds for Indian exporters.

Even Union textiles minister Dayanidhi Maran had acknowledged that India"s "Look East Policy" was paying good dividends, especially in the textile sector. The slow revival in the US and Europe is in stark contrast to the rapid recovery witnessed in the eastern economies which unfolds new vistas for India"s manufacturers and exporters as attractive propositions for exports. I believe the Indian government"s "Look East" policy has certainly helped as far as economic gains are concerned. The Asian region is now our largest trade partner and our economic exchanges with Southeast Asia as well as the more mature economies of Northeast Asia like China, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong have been facilitated by this policy. I have no doubt that had these nations not figured prominently on our trade profile, we would have been much more severely affected by the global economic downturn. I think it"s time for us to look at our eastern partners with more vigour and take advantage of the opportunities that lie before us.

It was a tough day for Riverstone Resources on the market, as its share price suffered after announcing a resource update/upgrade. Though Riverstone Resources added ounces to its Karma gold project in an updated resource, investors pummeled its stock, which as of press time had fallen 10 percent to C$0.65 on strong trading volumes.

The company said the increase amounted to a 42 percent increase in global resources to 54.1 million tonnes @ 1.02 g/t gold in indicated resources and 37.4 million tonnes at 0.8 g/t Au in inferred resources. Jeffrey Wright, an analyst with Global Hunter Securities who covers it, was upbeat about the resource update that added gold ounces and upgraded inferred resources within a number of the Karma project’s deposits in Burkina Faso. “We take note of the increase at the Goulagou II deposit now containing over 680,000 ounces of gold in the indicated category with a grade of 1.35 g/tonne,” Wright noted in a statement emailed to Mineweb. “Also of importance is the Kao deposit hosting over 800,000 ounces of gold in the indicated and inferred categories with an average grade right below 1 g/tonne.”

He added, “In my opinion the announcement shows good progression at the project.” As for what was driving the drop in The company"s share price, Wright related it to possible disappointment in the size of the updated resource. “I think the modest sell off in the enterprise today is result of some party having an expectation of either a larger overall number or higher grade intercepts.” But Wright argued: “we believe the increase in the resource demonstrates steady progress at the Karma project.” Wright said that Global Hunter Securities does not hold a position in the group. President Dwayne Melrose of the enterprise could not be reached for comment on Monday.

South African-based Pilot Crushtec, manufactures of crushing, screening and conveying systems, is making its contribution to development in Africa by providing equipment used to develop infrastructure and to boost minerals production. Foreign investment into African countries for development has boosted African sales for the company by almost 80% in the past five years, with the greater portion of this growth being in the past 12 to 16 months, according to Mr. Graham Kleinhans, sales manager for the company.

Mr. Kleinhans said this accounted for 12% to 15% of the company turnover, and during the past year, this represented sales of about R25-m. He said he anticipated that sales into Africa by the company would grow to 30% to 40% of turnover within the next few years. Equipment manufactured at its Jet Park facility in Gauteng, is being used by the mining industry in the DRC, and in mining and infrastructure development on the continent, in Namibia, Botswana, Mozambique, Angola, and Zambia, and as far a field as Kenya. Giving examples of recent major sales, Mr Kleinhans said Pilot Crushtec had sold a vertical shaft impact type crusher to provide a solution for a major road-making contract in Botswana. In Namibia, large investments were made in mobile screening equipment from Pilot Crushtec for use in diamond mining operations.

We have embarked upon a serious marketing drive into Africa. There is so much potential on the continent and politically, Africa is now considered to be more stable. Apart from mining, we also see the potential associated with other projects like the construction of highways, airports, sugar mills as well as huge dam projects, he said. Our company is aiming at a 30% to 40% growth rate per annum and we believe we can achieve this with our growing sales into Africa.

Mr Kleinhans went on to add that 80% of sales into African countries comprise complete systems from its modular range of semi-mobile, skid mounted, ready-to-run crushing, screen and conveying equipment. These systems meet current needs in Africa because they are cost-effective and relatively easy to move around. The modular system is readily extended as the need for production increases, he said. An additional aspect in our favour is that in spite of high demand, we can still deliver plant in four to six weeks, which is unheard of in the industry. For a relatively big plant, this delivery time is nothing, but we would like to reduce the delivery time to only two to three weeks.

Another interesting development is that foreign companies investing in Africa have a preference for equipment from South African-based companies because they are assured of an efficient back-up service. Now we can see the benefit of a Made in South Africa sticker on our products. Investors want to know the product they buy has a warranty that means something, he said. Mr Kleinhans added that while other manufacturers sold crushers and conveyors, Pilot Crushtec is the only company that sells solutions. We put everything together in one package by providing a system for material to be fed in at one end, processed and for the finished product to come out on the other end, he said. We put it all together quickly, with a 12-month warranty, and we guarantee that it will work smoothly. Today, people prefer to buy the whole puzzle, and this is the unique service that we provide. With its high quality products such as hammer crusher, Raymond mill, Hongxing Machinery has ascended in the front rank of the world in the exporting of mining equipment.

Employment in mining is projected to decrease. The growing U.S. and world economies will continue to demand larger quantities of the raw materials produced by mining, but the increased output will be able to be met by new technologies and new extraction techniques that increase productivity and require fewer workers. Wage and salary employment in mining is expected to decline by 14 percent through the year 2018, compared with 11 percent growth projected for the entire economy. Mining production is tied closely with prices and demand for the raw materials produced, and as prices for oil, gas, and metals have risen rapidly in recent years, production and employment in the industry have also grown. In the short term, employment may fluctuate due to changes in prices, but over the course of the projections period, technological advances will increase productivity and cause employment declines in the mining industry as a whole.

Petroleum and natural gas exploration and development in the United States depends upon prices for these resources and the size of accessible reserves. Stable and favorable prices are needed to allow companies enough revenue to expand exploration and production projects. Rising worldwide demand for oil and gas-particularly from developing countries such as India and China-is likely to cause prices to remain elevated and generate the needed incentive for oil and gas producers to continue exploring and developing oil and gas reserves. U.S. reserves of oil and gas should remain adequate to support continued production through 2018. However, environmental concerns, accompanied by strict regulation and limited access to protected Federal lands, also continue to have a major impact on this industry. Restrictions on drilling in environmentally sensitive areas and other environmental constraints should continue to limit exploration and development, both onshore and offshore.

In addition to resource availability, new production technologies also will impact employment in the industry. New drilling and extraction techniques allow for more efficient production from a reduced number of drill sites. As a result, employment in oil and gas extraction is expected to decline by 16 percent through 2018. However, changes in policy could expand exploration and drilling for oil and natural gas in currently protected areas, potentially boosting employment. Demand for coal will increase as coal remains the primary fuel source for electricity generation. Although environmental concerns exist regarding coal power-burning coal releases pollutants and carbon dioxide-few alternatives exist on a scale large enough to meet the fuel demand of utilities. Natural gas burns cleaner than coal, but coal power plants manufacturing hammer crusher and professional rotary kiln machines equipped with scrubbers reduce this disadvantage, and natural gas prices have been more volatile than coal prices in recent years. Future increased use of nuclear power or renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, could reduce demand for coal, but over the projection period neither is expected to increase rapidly enough to contribute significantly to U.S. energy supplies.

How are governments laying down the law to ensure health and safety in the mining industry? Joseph A. Main, Assistant Secretary of Labor for the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), talks to Sarah Blackman about the US Department"s policies and what lessons his fellow politicians have learned from recent global mining disasters. We"ve heard from several global mining conglomerates about how they are implementing important strategies into their sites to ensure their staff is protected from harm. Over the years they have acquired modern technologies and equipment to prepare workers for potentially dangerous situations and introduced multi-gas monitors, hazard detections systems and intelligent mine management software to decrease the risk of a life threatening event.

But, what are governments doing to improve health and safety in the mining industry? US mining spokesman Joseph A. Main explains how his government is guiding workforces to prevent future mining disasters and provides details on the policies being enforced in the country to make sure miners are held accountable for violating critical safety standards. The history of mine emergencies has taught us that we can never be too prepared to respond to these life-threatening events. Despite the development of modern rescue equipment and techniques, gaps still remain that can hamper or harm a successful mine rescue effort. The Pike River mine disaster consisted of a series of four mine explosions. There has been much speculation about the cause of these explosions ranging from pumps, cables, collapse, lack of methane drainage and so on.

We will not know for sure until the mine investigation concludes and a final report is published. However, we know communications and power were knocked out. Mine operators must design mines to prevent these types of events, conduct risk assessments to identify hazards and make critical systems more resilient and redundant. The Copiapó mining accident in Chile involved the collapse of the one and only mine entry. The mine was located in a very remote area. Drillers and drilling resources had to come from great distances, some from the United States. A mine rescue capsule had to be fabricated in country to implement the escape. Lesson learned - mining companies must maintain at least two escape ways at all times (a requirement in the US). Drilling technology needs to be identified before an incident occurs and arrangements with drillers should be made in advance. Pre-surveying, matching important locations underground with markers on the surface, is essential.

During the last five years, mine safety has improved through, among other things, the implementation of the MINER Act, the use of impact inspections to target problem mines, a revamped pattern of violations programme and the Rules to Live By initiative. In fact, according to preliminary data, 37 miners died in work-related accidents at the nation"s mines in 2011, the year with the second-lowest number of mining deaths since statistics were first recorded. MSHA places a major emphasis on miner training and we have awarded more than $3m in Brookwood-Sago Mine Safety Grants since 2007. These grants are specifically aimed at providing the funding for education and training programmes to better identify, avoid and prevent unsafe working conditions in and around mines when manufacturing sand maker and other mining machines such as ore beneficiation equipment.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been dragging its feet deciding whether or not to truck fresh water to residents and determining whether or not the town’s drinking water contains toxic level chemicals. As the mining machinery industry has more serious overcapacity, the phenomena that the high pollution and high energy of backward productivity and advanced productivity compete for raw materials and market exist in varying degrees, caused a serious waste of energy resources and environmental pollution can not be ignored. In terms of the important symbol of a country’s industrial strength-crusher machine, because it plays an important role in national economy so as a major alteration target.

For those unfamiliar with the hydraulic fracturing, or the more commonly known fracking, process, it involves pumping water, sand and chemicals into deep methane-rich shale formations underground to release natural gas. According to the U.S. Energy Department, fracking accounts for about a third of the st1:country-region w:st="on" U.S. gas supply, which is a 14 percent increase from 2009 figures. The Obama administration has advocated for fracking in the st1:country-region w:st="on" U.S. to release the nation’s natural gas, thus reducing the nation’s dependence on foreign oil and coal which has a long list of harmful effects.

At present, in our country’s mining machinery industry more mature are mining machinery, beneficiation equipment, crushing and grinding machine, sand making device, ore washing equipment, screening machine, driving machine for mining, mining loading and accessory equipment and other equipment. But in the market for small scale mining machinery factory, because of its small production scale, low productivity, coupled with cannot adapt to the supply requirements after the integration of resources, this is the main reason to cause our country’s mining machinery excess production capacity. Long-term business, not only waste a lot of raw materials, but also for energy saving and emission reduction cannot control. Long-term development will not only cause decline in company benefit, but also have adverse consequences for countries implementing energy-saving and emission reduction. As the country put on the agenda of mining machinery industry energy-saving and emission reduction, while eliminate backward production capacity is also a matter of time.

Aiming at the enterprise product structure adjustment and technical innovation, famous mining machinery, crushing and grinding machine, ore dressing machines manufacturer-Hongxing Machinery in the face of energy-saving and emission reduction and eliminate backward products doing extremely well. We bravely give up on high cost of production, high energy consumption, low production of small type jaw crusher, impact crusher and other equipment production, and continuously improve the production capacity of large models equipment.

With the repeating turning up of the problem on the quality of the houses, people are paying more and more attention to the question of housing quality. The construction of security housing has strict quality surveillance, and the so called “exterminating the problem on the source” refers to the three backbones that guaranteeing the quality of the houses, which is reinforcing steel bar, cement and concrete. And the government should strictly control the quality problem of the three pillar industries; put an end to the incident matters like cheating on workmanship and materials and let people live at ease in the room.

In recent years, our country has issued the related policies and regulations with regard to the construction of security housing in order to strengthen and specify the distribution and management of security housing. Various regions also gradually establish and perfect the application and examination systems and promote the smooth progress of the construction of security rooms. According to the relevant information, in the past year, the actual construction of such houses was 10.43 million sets, and basically built 4.32 million set, thus completing the annual index. And this year, our country puts forward the new objective that new construction of guarantee room should be more than 7 million sets and basically completed more than 5 million sets.

All of the security rooms’ construction involves its raw materials--sand aggregate whose manufacturing has a direct link with crushing and grinding equipment. Now the excellent and professional crushers on the market in general are jaw crusher, impact crusher, cone type crusher and other few kinds. Every machine has its own advantages and unique characteristics so that the customers should purchase the equipment according to the yield to decide to buy what kind of equipment. Among them jaw crusher belongs to coarse crushing equipment, and also is the primary crushing equipment, and it is a kind of the most commonly used, the industries that has not very much demand for the grain size can choose such a machine. And one of the impact crusher belongs to secondary crushing and also fine crushing equipment, the aggregate manufactured by this equipment has the strongest ability to combine with the cement so that it is the perfect choice for building tall buildings in order to producing aggregate.

Pay attention to people"s livelihood and solve their difficulties and fundamentally serve them with the best for the people"s welfare!

Time has quietly come to the year of 2012. As for the domestic industry, the infrastructure construction has lifted a new upsurge again; and what is happening in the international market? Many third world countries such as Africa and other countries has shown new dawn in the reconstruction efforts again; many such good news will promote the mining machinery industry to welcome a new year with unlimited business opportunities.

(1) Domestic infrastructure construction lifts a new upsurge.

2012 is a year when the twelfth five year plan of our nation has a strong development. The new rural construction, security housing construction, highway, and railway and water conservancy facilities construction become a top priority. The tendency that our country has a strong support for buildings will certainly increase the demand for raw materials such as cement, sand and concrete and will provide mining machinery industry with new development opportunities.

In addition, as the policy of development of western regions is promoting continuously, the rich coal and rock resources in the western region will inject new and fresh blood for the industrial development of our country. For this reason, the research and development of highly efficient, energy saving and environmentally friendly crushing equipment, coal mining and manufacturing equipment has become the magic weapon of the mining machinery manufacturing companies for taking up the western market.

(2) Third world countries show new dawn in reconstruction efforts.

In recent years, the third world countries have had remarkable period of development, especially Egypt, Libya, Iraq, Tunisia and other countries, their national reconstruction will become the first priority for the new government to win over popular support and lay the dominant position after coming to power, and road and houses construction are inseparable from the support mining machinery.

In its development course of twenty years, as the tycoon of the domestic mining equipment industry, Hongxing Machinery dominates exclusively the domestic and foreign market with mature products equipment like jaw crusher and Raymond mill and perfect service systems. Advanced technology content, high reliability, low operation and maintenance cost have enabled our products to take the leading position in the field. Our products have been exported to more than 130 countries and are widely used in global mining and construction industry. Being innovative and perfect is our incessant pursuit, and also our vigor source of energy and harmony. We will continuously create better products and better services, and always bring more value for our customers.

As the concept of energy conservation and emissions reduction gradually enjoy popular support, many enterprises and companies begin to pay attention to the research and development of high efficient and energy saving products. In architecture industry, bulk cement gradually becomes the favor object of contractors. The facts that the generalization amount of such material in Xuzhou exceeds over ten million tons and Hubei determines bulk cement as the twelfth five years development planning goal show that it enjoys good development tendency.

What is on earth bulk cement? It is said relative to the bag one. It refers to that directly transported from the factory to the freight station or end users through special equipment or containers without any small packing after it is manufactured in the factory. This industry in our country began in the 1950s and promoted to a peak in this century and has become an important part of the energy saving cause. Its development is not only the reform of the traditional flow way which will be beneficial to high efficiency and modernization of construction technology, but also has obvious economic benefits. It will make great contributions to saving resources and improving the economic benefit; improving the quality of the project; reducing the noise pollution and improving the construction environment, improving work efficiency; reducing dust and improving the atmospheric environment quality and sulfur dioxide emissions so that it has significant ecological benefits.

Hongxing ball mill is used exclusively for its production and is widely used in building material industry. This machine is the best choice for the bulk cement production machines products manufactured by which has been in wide application in all parts of the country. Demand is growing so fast and continues to grow, and you can’t cap that. The main work process is that the material evenly goes into the first mill storehouse through the material feeding device, and the storehouse has liners or corrugated linings inside, and there are steel balls with different specifications. The cylinder turns and produces centrifugal force to bring the steel ball to a certain height and then drop down to produce thumping and abrasive effects to the material. The powder material screened through the vibrating screen and is discharged through the discharging board and in the end the powder grinding work is done and the material that conforms to the demand of construction industry will be manufactured. Because the ball mill is highly efficient and energy saving and has little pollution and high processing capacity in the production process so that it enjoys high praise among the manufacturing companies.
