OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY/EVAULATION - PULSAR MINETRAC

Creating Value Through Increased Awareness

To assist mining operations in achieving maximum production and lowering maintenance costs, HSM Tire Co. has partnered with a leading technology developer to offer the Pulsar MineTrac. This proprietary technology was developed exclusively for Formula One Racing and McClaren Racing to gather the most accurate readings of both the racetrack as well as the structural response of the car to track conditions. It has now been further developed into a mining specific version, which provides an OTR tire management system that gathers both "real-time" and historical data on:

• Tire performance
• Operator performance
• Truck performance
• Haul Road Conditions/Maintenance
• Cycle Efficiency
• Forces Affecting Tire/Truck Life

The Pulsar MineTrac is a continuous monitoring system that utilizes "real-time" data to help address issues before they become problems.

During tire shortage situations a normally routine process (tire supply/performance) becomes an on-going management issue. By selecting the Pulsar MineTrac, mining companies and their individual operations will be able to focus more time on ramping up production and less time on trouble shooting tire problems and haul road concerns.

HSM Tire Co. also utilizes the following "Value Added Studies" as part of its overall operational efficiency evaluation:

• Heat Studies
• Tire Pressure Analysis
• Tire Repair/Retread Analysis
• Cycle Studies
• Weight Studies
