ES&S has supplied a stress monitoring system for the Oyu Tolgoi copper and gold mine development project in southern Mongolia.
Ivanhoe's Oyu Tolgoi copper-gold mining is located in Mongolia's South Gobi region. In 2007 ES&S supplied Oyu Tolgoi with overcoring stress instrumentation to aid mine design. The installation services were undertaken by Mining Measurement Services.
The second phase includes a system that is designed to be portable monitoring longterm stress changes using CSIRO HI Cells.
