A look at why copper gold mining projects are becoming strategically critical, and how technology, transparency, and capital discipline are reshaping the economics and competitiveness of modern mining operations.
As mine operators look for practical ways to improve uptime, reliability, and maintenance efficiency, filtration systems are receiving renewed attention. Terry Morley, Cleanova, discusses why rethinking the filter press feed interface can help improve operational performance in demanding mining environments.
Jorge Gonzalez Henrichsen, co-CEO of the Nearshore Company, emphasises the importance of alignment between the US and Mexico for mineral security.
Fran van der Berg and Ashwini Khunte, Martin Engineering, offer their perspectives on how the transformation of the gender imbalance in mining is unfolding.
Dr Uwe König, Global Mining Segment Manager at Malvern Panalytical, identifies seven trends that are reshaping mining operations in 2026, and at their core lies a common thread: automation, real-time measurement, and digitalisation.
Fugitive dust at mining sites causes equipment damage, downtime, health risks, and regulatory issues. Poor maintenance increases operational costs, while effective dust control improves safety, compliance and overall operational performance.
This article examines thermal management challenges in deep mining operations, exploring how extreme heat affects worker safety and equipment reliability while highlighting modern solutions like computational modelling and regulatory compliance.
Mining operations can meet ESG targets through systematic equipment electrification supported by strategic infrastructure upgrades. A phased approach delivers emission reductions, cost savings, and improved worker safety alongside environmental compliance.
Greg Rankin, Inorganic Ventures, describes how as gold and rare earth projects tighten economic thresholds, analytical precision moves to the centre of decision-making.
Explore how mining operators can improve energy visibility, reduce cost per tonne, and build a credible decarbonisation path – in Yokogawa's new eBook, Beyond Compliance: Lower Operating Costs Through Energy Efficiency.
Catastrophic events get the headlines, but operational disruption is quietly driving the majority of mining losses, and most of the industry isn’t adequately protected against it.
Darryn Quayle, Vice President, Resources, Worley, considers how trust in mining capital delivery can be rebuilt by strengthening front-end definition, leveraging technology, and committing to disciplined execution.
Closure in Latin America is still treated as a technical endpoint, overlooking territorial impacts. A transition-focused approach is needed to manage dependencies, reduce risks, and sustain post-mining resilience and development.
Progress towards ratification of the International Seabed Authority’s Mining Code seems to have stalled, while US national initiatives are accelerating. 2026 will decide who governs deep-sea mining moving forward.
Canada’s mining boom is accelerating, as are hidden compliance risks. This article explores emerging blind spots in procurement, remote operations, and reporting as companies scale across complex global environments.
