How engineers saved Boddington Gold Mine from a $2.4B disaster.
Explore the incredible engineering battle behind Western Australia's Boddington Gold Mine, Australia's largest gold producer. Locked deep inside unyielding 2.7-billion-year-old bedrock, this multi-billion dollar operation faced complete failure before engineers re-engineered the process with high-pressure grinding rolls. Discover the secrets of a massive facility running 36 autonomous haul trucks, a custom ground-based GPS network, and a complex chemical flotation system designed to strip away copper.
