The MSHA final rule reduces the permissible exposure limit of respirable crystalline silica to 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air for a miner's full-shift exposure, which was calculated as an 8-hour time-weighted average.

They found more than half of all respondents to a survey listed risk appetite as the biggest impact on the rate of exploration. "The solution isn't necessarily getting the large miners to do exploration themselves," State of Play chairman Graeme Stanway said in a release.
