“BRING THE PAST TO THE BETTER MINING FUTURE”

Rahmat Iqbal 12120124

Mining Games Games exists as an internal project between members whose activities include mining science and profession contests and other interesting events. This year, Mining Games becomes an important event from the Mining Student Association to prepare students majoring in mining engineering department designed to be an interesting and fun event. Mario Wijaya as the chief committee of this year’s Mining Games brings the vision,

“Making Mining Games a turning point for mining competition to regrow mentality and enthusiasm in a competition serving as a real manifestation in improving the knowledge, profession, and organization based on amicability principle”

This indicates the spirit of Mining Games to revive the once lost mentality and enthusiasm to compete.

Mining Games had once been successfully organized in 2019 when it was presided by Amin Rais. The success is now being chased using the same concept as a place for development and preparation with some innovations and updates. This can be seen from the increasingly greater number and variation of contests held. This year’s Mining Games is also organized offline, allow- ing some contests to be practically held once again after hiatus for some years. The contests in this year’s Mining Games are:

1. Written Test

Written Test is a contest in the form of written test consisting of multiple-choice questions and essay at the beginning of the competition. This contest aims at testing the participants’ cognitive knowledge in general topics, basic concepts, and calculation related to mining science both the contested and not contested ones.

2. Mining Smart Competition

Mining Smart Competition is a contest held after the Written Test results are obtained, 30-35% of the teams with the highest cumulative scores in the Written Test will participate in the Mining Smart Competition and they will be selected further to get 3 top teams as the conclusion of the remaining competitions.

pants to understand and know some knowledge of preparing engineering knowledge they have owned into the designing and planning of a modern mining. By improving the comprehension and skills that HMT-ITB mass own and to be presented in front of the jury and serves as a parameter to determine the Grand Champion. Consisting of pit design software competition and geotechnical competition.

This Rock Mineral Identification competition is a highly basic contest for a mining engineer in recognizing rocks and minerals to be mined by hand pick, without needing any drilling equipment which produce core assisted with a certain identifying tool. More than that, this contest also gives a glimpse of geological structure and Genesa of a mineral and rock to allow HMT-ITB mass to have knowledge and ability in describing rocks and minerals and the process by which certain rocks and minerals are shaped.

PThe Mine Evacuation Rescue contest is one that simulates accidents at underground mines as per the mechanism applied in the mine. This Mine Evacuation Rescue contest consists of making Job Safety Analysis and rescue simulation along with the regulations of rescue that meet the underground mining HSE standards.

The Software Competition contest is a software-related contest to enable partici-

The Hand Mucking contest is the one to simulate the loading and hauling process of ores underground. The contest is the application of one of blending processes of 2 stockpile to one of places for sale under an agreement between buyers and sellers using lorry and wheelbarrow as hauling equipment and a scope as loading tools. The competition also requires agility, speed, and precision to generate products that match buyer’s demand.

The Joint Measuring contest is the one to determine and analysis the orientation of fracture provided from the slope design, by analyzing how landslide can occur and its prevention is then included in the stereo net to determine the type of landslide.

The rundown in this year’s Mining Games includes

Opening dan Closing Ceremony

The Mine Surveying contest is the one where participants are tested for their ability to measure tunnel coordinates using surveying kits within a short period of time (opening – closing the kit box) and in the right way and to solve the problems in an underground mine using the mapping method.

8. Bench Blasting Competition

The opening ceremony are when the Mining Games 2022/2023 commence and they consist of welcoming, symbolization by hitting the gong, and discussion with the study program regarding the mining competition organized together with lecturers at the Mining Engineering Study Program at ITB to mark the commencement of Mining Games 2022/2023 and friendly meet-and-greet.

The Bench Blasting contest is where participants compete to design a blasting geometry, column charge, and ignition time in open mine and it is applied in a model at certain scale and using Shot Plus software to determine the fragmentation, production target, and use of blasting supporting materials to get a blasting as per the desired target in accordance with the applicable regulations in Indonesia.

9. Joint Measuring Competition

The Closing Ceremony is the event to conclude the Mining Games 2022/2023, consisting of closing, Mining Smart Competition final, and announcement of the champions of each contest subjects and the grand champions.

Mining Games Night

Mining Games Night is an agenda to conclude the Mining Games 2022/2023 consisting of MVP announcement, discussion with alumni on life at work, internal games and other performances. Mining Games Night is an internalization event organized by and for HMT-ITB mass by inviting alumni to share their experiences on life at work and HMT-ITB mass will perform and other activities.

Photography and Video Contest

An event carried out before the Mining Games 2022/2023 begins as an attempt to maximize the internal atmosphere setting of HMT-ITB mass before the Mining Games 2022/2023 events. To participate, HMT-ITB mass can upload pictures/videos of 1-5 individuals on Mining topic in the social media of every member such as Instagram, TikTok, etc. by mentioning the Mining Games 2022/2023 social media.
