The best time of year to fill up a camera roll… Miners’ Pumpkin Patch season 🎃

No wire, no blasting cap, just a signal from above.

This is Orica's WebGen, a wireless electronic blasting system. No wires, better safety, and better productivity. It's the kind of tech Jim Crompton will be talking about in "Dig, Baby, Dig: A Prediction about the Mine of the Future," his non-technical look at where mining goes next: what will we mine, where will we find it, how will we get to it, and who (or what) will mine it.

📅 Oct. 13 @ 4pm
