[QUOTE="barryn56, post: 99098, member: 3782"] Hi. I just joined the group as I don't have a background in hard rock mining directly, but have been in the upstream oil industry for many years. I have a potential client looking for a method to monitor and identify when rock bolts fail and to send a radio frequency signal to a receiver identifying which bolt it is. This would be only for new bolts, not for monitoring already installed ones (although maybe that's another issue?). One of the criteria is that the solution should not increase the cost of the rock bolt by more than 30%, so I'm interested to know the range of cost of rock bolts (I wouldn't like to pretend to be buying from a supplier to get the info). I'd also like the group members' expert opinion on whether this sort of indicator would have a significant market, or if you think something else would be more useful to assist with cost, safety or any other aspect of the mining process. Thanks in advance for any comments. Regards, Barry [/QUOTE]
