SLIM aims to minimize the impact of mineral extractive techniques on mines of small deposits, including deposits of high chemical complexity or low mineral quality.
Among other aspects, SLIM is expected to improve the efficiency of mining activity by 25%, reduce vibrations and derived noise by 20-25%, cut energy consumption by 20% and decrease greenhouse gases by 10%.
